TNT Freight Management
|
During 2005, TNT took over Wilson Logistics, and have re-branded the company as TNT Freight Management. Wilson Logistics were a user of our DOS-based MCS software at each of their airfreight offices for years, but used LSI/Sigma's software for seafreight at their Southampton office. In addition, Wilson's ran their global forwarding and logistics operation on AS400 minicomputers using the 'Plus Data' software, now known as 'Transaxiom'. Like many of our 'Corporate' customers, MCS worked well for Wilsons at each office on LAN-based systems, but with the introduction of our Windows-based 'Customs Manager' software it became more attractive to run this centrally on a Terminal Server (TS) system for all offices. The main driver was the reduction in costs, not only on the comms lines to CCS-UK, but also in consolidating the software licences. Other benefits included being able to share data between branch offices which improved staff productivity, and also being able to interface to 'Transaxiom'. Firstly, Visual NES was implemented for all offices with 'Transaxiom' developing a link to our software using our Generic Interface (GI). Next, each airfreight office migrated from MCS to Visual Broker for DTI, and then for ERTS, followed by the implementation of Visual CFSP. Finally, Southampton migrated from LSI/Sigma's 'Datafreight' software to Visual Broker, which was relatively easy as they had got used to Visual NES, which is very similar. The whole project has not only saved the company money but improved staff efficiency and productivity. |
