Frez-N-Stor Inc, a public refrigerated warehouse company, has purchased Headwater Technology Solutions Inc's Delfour SmartEnterprise 2 third-party logistics software suite. It expects to complete implementation of the new software in January 2006.

Serving the poultry industry, Frez-N-Stor operates a single facility with about 4.9 million cubic feet of refrigerated warehouse space, of which 2.2 million cubic feet was added in an expansion completed in January 2005. The facility provides forced air circulation, a two-stage ammonia system, 31 truck doors, four railcar doors, 22 blast cells, and fully palletized rack and bulk storage.

SmartEnterprise 2 is an upgrade from an earlier Delfour 3PL system in place since 2002. It will offer greater system speed, more power and functionality, and simplified use through graphical user interface access and control. The suite will operate with an Oracle database, both running on a Dell PowerEdge server under the Linux operating system.
