Nowadays when the identification of radio frequency (RFID) is constantly on each one 'lips of S, and when each suitable supplier of application of company protects his bets towards becoming RFID-ready or convinces even the market that is exactly its solution RFID-in conformity what it doctor (like, Wal-Mart, targets, Albertsons, the U.S. Defence Department [DoD]) ordered the quiet software typical of Provia (www.provia.com), a private-held supplier of the solutions of software of the execution of chain of provisioning (SCE), judge naturally that time came during him to be more vocal about its efforts of RFID, though after it has already made so much efforts in terms of validation of principle in the field.
At the end of May, Provia announced with the distribution/ expo computer 2004 Chicago, Illinois (US) that its event of ViaView/management alerts and produced of decision-making aid plays a main role in the visibility of offer to the data of chain of provisioning for companies providing the products RFID-labelled to Wal-Mart and to other retailers.
Moreover, at the end of March, Provia announced that it was aligned with its head office for more than fifteen years, systems of Viastore, a leading vendor of automated storage and the systems of recovery (AS/RS), and the control systems of material handling, with more than 3.000 cranes installed in the whole world.
As for the products 'improvements functional, at the end of 2003, Provia announced the release of FourSite 4.4, a levelling of its solution of realization directed towards suppliers of the logistics of third (3PL). The globalisation on an industrial scale is a big factor affecting the logistics and the management companies of chain of provisioning.
Always, Provia 'challenge primary education of S overcomes its lack of visibility of the market. During the twelve years that it had actuated like systems and engineers de Haushahn, the company had established a reputation among a selected group 3PL suppliers and distributors. However, Provia will have to widen its call and more clearly to articulate its expansions in other verticals if he hopes to defend with far competition from other management systems of warehouse (WMS) and suppliers of SCE.
Competition exactly negligible is not either given a group of suppliers of WMS providing collaboration, the visibility, and the functionality sophisticated of management of event, and good number of them are uniformly advantageous, public, and have more visibility and of mindshare. In addition to the associates and Yantra of Manhattan, the list of the latter would contain Swisslog, in height, Optum, RedPrairie, systems of the HK, and International of catalyst, to call some. The lack of support of the iSeries of IBM (C. - with-D., old AS/400) could prevent Provia 'point of S on the retailers, who segment supposedly precisely prove to have embraced the platform, and where some suppliers are happy to oblige, in particular the Chief of SCE that Manhattan associates.
Moreover, Provia does not have a considerable number of alliances with the complementary suppliers of software, such as the planning of (ERP), management entrepreneurial resource of report/ratio of customer (CRM), and supplier of the integration of application of company (EAI). Foreseeable, SAP is the only principal supplier of application of company for which Provia coded a certified interface, whereas Provia integrated into the multiple of other products of ERP by a standard interface of host centre, passage de ViaWare. Its lack of much of exploitation of mention of the services of Web could also be perceived like latecomer, since the sector of the realization of order and the forwarding of parcel lends itself apparently to the use of orientated architecture towards the services of product.
One should never not discount competition coming from the gorillas of ERP 800 books like SAP, Oracle, PeopleSoft, and the total ASS, which, although always with products of the beginner WMS/TMS (who is also dubious at least for the total ASS after his acquisition of old technologies of chief EXE of SCE, to see the ASS WP to carry out (however) another acquisition), becomes more aggressive in their great user bases due to their incantation of integration of ERP. The tastes of the software, Intentia, the IBS, the SYSPRO, Adonix, and the ACCPAC of Lilly which also embraced a strong product of WMS in addition to their traditional products of ERP, could prevent Provia from penetrating the semi-market of ERP, in particular in the less complex cases of environments, with the basic gathering of case and pallet, the frank interleaving of task, and the RF, the label and paper slectionnables by conditions of working area. Although we do not discuss the tastes of Provia of 's WMS functional, TMS, YMS, and supremacy of SPS, in much of case, the prospect customers can like the difference in a poorer functionality for a-stop-make shopping arrangement of their supplier of ERP (see the suppliers of ERP to take a lead in the sure asylum of SCE/WMS).
Provia should thus continue to support its recent realignment with Viastore and identification of image with other initiatives of sale to penetrate of the distributors of semi-line and companies with the detail. The higher customers of line can contribute to the growth by folding up simple achievements of site to others parrts of the organization, but the semi-market develops faster and offers great rewards for the suppliers who assert a right early. Moreover, the market had more and more appreciated the requests to control a network of realization, an exploit that Provia can address with ViaWare by aiming its message suitably.
Functionally, Provia should plan to acquire or be combined with a supplier of software which offers the total support so that the ocean, air, and the means of transport of rail widen the range of its TMS, and the company 'the print of step of solution of S.A. need for improvements in terms of conformity of logistics for international business (ITL), management of contract, and process of payment. Consequently, the company could still have to make acquisitions or associations to quickly provide a product to several operating processes complete of transport which is in conformity with the total trade.
Because of motionless the rather recent availability of the simple source code for the multiple platforms, Provia must always improve perception of its aptitude for the semi-market, and increase its identification of mark in the market of TMS. Because of an user base of beginner (less than thirty customers of TMS), the company could still be omitted in much choice of TMS in spite to have a long time provided possibilities like the consolidation of order, optimization of route, management of rate of carrier, the exchange of information electronic (EDI) binds with the carriers, payment of advance and integrated forwarding based by Internet on the delivery (THIMBLE) and claims management, the economic majority of determination of mode (C. - with-D., parcel, less than loading of truck [LTL], full load of truck [FTL], distribution of swimming pool, stops in transit), the calculation of the best route for the multiple stops, the choice of carrier, capacity of bottom of page, and exactitude with five digits of postal code, but only for advance of the means of transport of carrier.
