Crown’s InfoLink® System Support Team Helps Make Installation a Seamless Process

Southern Glazer’s Wine & Spirits’ decision to install Crown’s InfoLink® system on its lift truck fleet was further reinforced by the smooth implementation of the system itself. Crown’s support team visited the SGWS facility to help management develop a phased implementation plan that would help the company meet its goals. The full installation was completed in only four days, with on-site training to ensure the system was providing immediate benefits.
