OPSI Systems Powers PlanForge’s Transport Planning Hosting Solution
JOHANNESBURG, SOUTH AFRICA - August 20 th 2007: OPSI Systems (www.opsisystems.com), a leading provider of vehicle routing and scheduling software has partnered with PlanForge, a service provider in transport planning, to provide the first hosting solution for transport planning and execution logistics.
In today’s competitive corporate environment, it has become crucial for companies to focus on their core competencies, while still maintaining a streamlined and efficient operation. For FMCG (Fast Moving Consumer Goods) enterprises, it has become imperative to implement cutting-edge optimization software in order to make their supply chains efficient and more cost effective. However, for many small to medium-sized FMCG companies, the capital expenditure that is required to purchase, implement and maintain the required technology is prohibitive.
PlanForge is a hosted service provider for transport planning and logistics. PlanForge is made up of a team of highly skilled consultants from the supply chain industry, with years of experience, that use OPSI Systems’ technology to power their environment.
The PlanForge-OPSI solution allows companies, with limited time and resources available, to outsource this non-core business activity to specialists in the field of supply chain logistics optimization. This allows the companies to focus their scant resources on their own long-term strategic goals.
Through a service level agreement ( SLA) that is consistently measured and reported, PlanForge aligns itself with its clients’ strategic objectives and provides true value through a pay-per-use basis.
PlanForge clients benefit by:
- Receiving high-end transport planning and logistics, based on OPSI Systems’ technology, for their supply chains,
- Saving valuable resources by not expending capital on software, implementation, and transport planning,
- Focusing resources on core business activities,
- Having comprehensive visibility from source to destination for all parties involved in the transportation planning process.
“The partnership between OPSI Systems and PlanForge addresses a gap in the supply chain optimization market. By providing an affordable solution to companies that previously were unable to take advantage of this technology due to limited resources we are able to pioneer new frontiers in supply chain optimization,” said David Lubinsky, director of OPSI Systems.
