Fleming Furniture Stores
Ashley Furniture Home Store of Paducah, KY
"Dan Bolger developed a plan to meet short term needs initially and designed a new facility to support our Ashley Furniture Home Store and Fleming Furniture stores. We have a clear competitive advantage with the distribution center and management processes used throughout. Sales volume increased in double digits the first year. There is no way we could have delivered that volume without the new facility and the operating procedures he helped us put into place. Dan's services are recommended to improve daily operations as well as facilities."

"Than you for the excellent work and guidance you provided with the recent construction of my new warehouse facility. In retrospect I can't imagine building it on my own as I had planned before atteding your seminar at the Las Vegas Market. That's where I realized I needed some expert advice. I really appreciate your knowledge, experience and professionalism. One thing that really hellped was your quick response to all my needs and concerns. The fact that I could reach you whenever needed was a great help. We are now moved in and enjoying the new facility. Our efficiency has improved immensely thans to you. I am thrilled with the results."

"Dan provided professional advice for the original design of our distribution center in 1999, subsequent expansion, and annual operations consulting. Continuous improvement in our distribution operations is a direct result. His advice has included implementing RF bar coding, process improvement in prep areas, performance metrics to evaluate warehouse performance and strategic planning services. The net result is our ability for efficient merchandise distribution to our three new stores and our customers."

"We used The Bolger Group for a difficult retrofit of an Historic Building. Dan guided us through design and layout of the warehouse and loading areas as well as the purchase of the racking and material handling equipment that allowed us to double our warehouse capacity. Our warehouse crew is delighted with our facility and is able to unload containers in a fraction of the time it took previously. Working with The Bolger Group has proven to be very cost beneficial and instructive. We have gained tremendous knowledge and grown professionally because of our relationship. It also made an arduous construction process a lot more enjoyable and rewarding."

"The new warehouse Dan helped us to design is workng out very well. The overall flow of the product is very smooth, from racking to trash compactors to the service/shop area. We had underestimated several areas in volume and importance. Dan helped us fine tune our plan, creating such areas as a customer-friendly pickup area with a large roll-up door so the customer can pull into the building during bad weather. I appreciated Dan's attention to detail, one of the benefits of hiring an experienced consultant when you are busy with daily operations yourself."
