June 16, 2009 9:17 AM EDT

Voxware, Inc. (NASDAQ: VOXW) announced that Somerfield Stores, the UK high street supermarket company, has deployed a major expansion of voice picking technology based upon the company's Voxware 3 software product.

"We designed a way to significantly improve worker productivity using Voxware 3, and we are achieving what we set out to do," said Andrew Hubbard, Head of Distribution Support and Service at Somerfield. "We've been Voxware customers for a long time, and took advantage of this project to move to their latest software platform, Voxware 3, which is now integrated with our Infor WMS and gives us the benefits of a packaged software product, openness, and flexibility for the future."

The new voice solution was first implemented in the fresh products area as a flow-through (pick-by-line) operation, initially at the Somerfield site in Pitreavie, Scotland. Now approaching full deployment, the voice solution will operate in four large distribution centers, optimizing the work of 400 operatives.

"Somerfield had a clear vision of what they wanted to accomplish, and what technology stack they wanted to use," said Gareth Giles Knopp, Managing Director of Voxware UK. "We are pleased with the results being produced by our Voxware 3 software, and the benefits that are being realized by Somerfield."
