|
May 14, 2009 Four Soft Limited (4S) (NSE: "FOURSOFT", BSE: 532521), a global leader offering software solutions for transportation and logistics industry, recently completed implementation of its Warehouse Management Software - 4S eLog through its subsidiary Four Soft Netherlands B.V. at Midl Integrated Logistics B.V. (Midl), a Netherlands based freight forwarding and third party (3PL) logistics company, with an established international network, covering various geographical locations. Midl has been partnering with Four Soft for its various software requirements for more than a decade now. Midl is a logistics service provider focused on supplying warehousing, distribution and supply chain management services to its customers throughout The Netherlands, USA and UK. The group is expanding rapidly and has become a major player in the Netherlands, specializing in this field. Apart from storage services, they also offer repacking and assembling services to its customers, including assembling of hardware within their warehouse in order to localize them for a specific country or a specific configuration. To support its rapid expansion plans, complex operations and ever growing customer needs, Midl signed a contract with Four Soft recently to implement 4S eLog. Visibility and transparency were the two important features which Midl was looking for in addition to the regular inbound and outbound warehousing activities. It also needed a system which offers cell division instead of an organization with many layers, to manage its multiple customers using their warehouse. Earlier this month, 4S eLog was implemented at Midl's locations successfully. With little customization and integration with 4S eTrans SME (multi-modal Transportation Management System from Four Soft, which is running successfully at Midl), the new system has started providing better transparency and visibility for the warehouse. With most of its processes being streamlined through this successful implementation, Midl can now concentrate on its expansion plans. Mr. Kees Dinnessen, Managing Director of Midl b.v. Integrated Logistics, commented, "We were burdened with complex warehousing operations, owing to our customers' varied business needs and did not want to further burden our staff with a complex software application to handle the day-to-day operations. We choose 4S eLog over other systems, owing to its simple yet powerful functionality. We are sure we will start reaping benefits in terms of operational efficiencies and quicker ROI in a short period of time." Mr. Richard Gralike, Managing Director, Four Soft Netherlands BV said, "We have successfully deployed several applications at Midl and we are sure they will start benefitting from this implementation as well in terms of streamlined business processes, greater customer satisfaction and reduction in inventory holding costs. Some of our software systems which were implemented long ago are still running successfully in Midl's locations." 4S eLog, the WMS product offering from Four Soft, built on current technology platform - J2EE, covers the logistics environment from factory to consumer, allows multiple warehouses and multiple clients to be managed from within a single environment, has RF capabilities and offers visibility to clients, their customers and their suppliers, as well as across warehouses and clients. By implementing 4S eLog at Midl, all the inbound and outbound warehouse operations were automated and eliminated the manual environment.
