"We chose Pinnacle because of their vast experience in warehouse design and layout. We really needed an overhaul in our warehouse and they were the best fit. They are a team of dedicated people and their support was tremendous. They were here day and night throughout the implementation. They were dedicated, on-site, and willing to do what it took to get the job done. I have complete faith in Mike Frei and Mike Murphy; you get a feeling that they care about your business. Pinnacle went "all out" to make sure this project was a success."

"I was very pleased with the documents that captured the system as they first viewed it, the options for improving it, and finally, the specifications for bidding the components we decided upon. In fact, the specifications were so detailed that they helped us through some difficult situations with subcontractors that we had chosen. Joe and Frank keep up with the latest improvements in the material handling arena, as well as the financial condition of many manufacturers. They successfully use this knowledge to design systems that are well integrated."
