Integrated solutions critical

Keeping up with fast-evolving
logistics trends requires
technological innovation – and
it is important to integrate
logistics software with logistics
planning from the start of the
project.
“This, coupled with full
collaboration with other
suppliers,
enables service
providers to
offer a fully
integrated
solution,”
says Macro
Millennium’s
Anthea van
Breemen.
She points
out that fully
integrated
software solutions can be
leveraged to ensure complete
visibility across the supply chain
so that every movement of the
goods can be tracked and traced.
“You can therefore provide
ongoing progress reports to your
customers.”
Van Breemen says this is
notably applicable to e-commerce
and internet purchasing deals.
“Our Macro 2000 software
will help customers to monitor
turnaround times – from order
to delivery – as well as see how
many returns there were from
customers, and the reasons for
those returns,”
she says.
According to
van Breemen,
customers
will also have
full stock
visibility in the
warehouse to be
able to identify
which stock is
redundant and/
or moving slowly.
“Our software development
is based on the incremental
changes requested by our
partners. In this way we offer the
kind of support and innovation
needed to maintain, or gain, a
competitive edge,” comments van
Breemen.
