Building on years of experience with SSA Global EXceed WMS, Swift Freight International now operates using a single, global version of this advanced warehouse management system.
Dubai, UAE, Sep. 09, 2004 - SPAN Supply Network Solutions (SNS), the leading provider of supply network solutions to companies operating in the Middle East, today announced the successful implementation of the EXceed WMS warehouse management system (WMS) at Swift Freight International's Cairo distribution center.
SPAN-SNS and Swift worked closely together throughout the entire application implementation process to minimize disruptions to Swift's operations. The entire process took less than three weeks. Both the inventory data upload as well as the system go-live were performed remotely from Dubai.
"The entire implementation went extremely smoothly", commented Mario Ghosn, SPAN-SNS's Services Director. He continued, "Our deep knowledge of the application combined with Swift's experience using it greatly facilitated the entire process."
Anil Mathews, Swift's Corporate IT Manager commented, "Running a single version of the EXceed WMS reduces our operating costs in terms of systems maintenance, application integration, and user training." He continued, "And our customers will benefit from more efficient product handling and improved inventory visibility."
Swift's Cairo distribution center handles products for Master Foods, maker of Mars and Galaxy candy bars.
