India-based Ramco Systems, a leading enterprise software provider, has joined hands with Middle-Eastern third-party logistics (3PL) service provider, RSA Logistics, to implement integrated freight management system (IFMS) to better manage operations.

Ramco’s IFMS is an end-to-end solution suite that addresses the complete process flow of the shipping and transportation industry, said a statement.

RSA Logistics is a multi-award winning third-party logistics provider based in Dubai, UAE, with global alliances that help extend its reach to every corner of the world. The company offers storage and 360-degree supply chain solutions, including distribution, transportation, and international freight.

RSA’s clients hail from a diverse portfolio of industries that include automotive, power generation, petrochemicals and chemicals and food and beverage. RSA further deploys its expertise by offering on-site logistics to companies that operate their own warehouses – bringing sophisticated and tailor-made people, process and technology solutions to the client’s doorstep.

The agreement with Ramco will comprise freight forwarding, customer relationship management (CRM), finance, purchase, inventory and human resources (HR) modules to better manage key freight and logistics operations, added the statement.

Virender Aggarwal, CEO, Ramco Systems, said: “With the onset of technological transformation in the logistics industry, players today are under significant pressure to deliver near-perfect performances.”

“In such disruptive scenarios, traditional models of transportation and logistics management are proving to be ineffective. The need for complete visibility of operations, capacity and route planning and scheduling is driving organisations to adapt technology,” he said.

“Through multiple client wins in this industry, Ramco has testified its ability to address this industry need. With our company’s cloud and mobile-enabled enterprise resource planning (ERP) offering, RSA will be able to streamline their functions, thereby improving visibility and enhancing productivity, across all levels of operations,” he added.

Abhishek Ajay Shah, managing director, RSA Logistics, said: “As a third party logistic solutions provider, RSA has a reputation for being aggressive in its adoption of innovative technologies.”

“Implementing a cloud based ERP is a strategic step for us to set ourselves up for our next stage of multi-geographic growth. The ERP’s extensive modules, in particular the transportation module, has completed our quest for a fully integrated ERP,” he added.

Uday Menon, IT manager, RSA Logistics, said: “With Ramco’s implementation, we will have better visibility and control over our transactional processes and data, with which we can generate reports as per the organisational requirement to improve efficiency, thereby ensuring enhanced customer satisfaction.” – TradeArabia News Service
