What would the Kentucky Derby be without mint juleps? Or the Bourbon Trail without its namesake? While Kentuckians take pride in sharing their superb whiskey brands with the world, Southern Wine & Spirits also makes sure that bourbons and other beverages of choice are readily available throughout the Blue Grass State.

Southern Wine & Spirits is the nation's largest wine and liquor distributor. Since moving to voice for its split-case bottle picking, it has increased speed, accuracy and flexibility, while improving its allocation of labor. Now, voice systems operating on rugged Motorola mobile computers direct split-case picking and repacking. The Motorola computers, including the new MC9000 model, incorporate the Jennifer voice software from Lucas Systems. Picking instructions are relayed through a headset connected to the Motorola computer, which is worn on a belt pack.
