MINNEAPOLIS, MN--(Marketwired - Jun 17, 2014) - HighJump Software, a global provider of supply chain management software, announced today that Mitsubishi Brazil has selected the HighJump™ Warehouse Advantage warehouse management system (WMS). The solution, to be deployed by Otimis, HighJump Software's partner in Brazil, will be installed at the advanced parts receiving distribution center in São Paulo and at its automobile production plant in Catalão.
