Provia approaches RFID in a double way Part four: Total availability

Recently, 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 of over 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.

However, RFID was not the only hearth in Provia 'association recent of S and the improvements of products tests. Provia could be also held independently of its pars in the applications of company that industry by claiming that behind each one of its installations is a satisfactory customer. The canvassers of company who its capital of the number one is that they keep his engagements and deliver them per hour and in the budget, and thus, 98 percent of its customers replace their contracts of support of 24/7 with the supplier each year. By facilitating Provia on before execution be several associates of integration, including the general houses of consultation like old PricewaterhouseCoopers (now IBM Global Services), consulting Deloitte, and services companies of integration of more reduced system like old Digiterra (now ciber), logistic street Onge, and Q4.

Equipped with a direct personnel of sale in North America supported by the regional teams, Provia also brings back the strong presence and sales in South America. It was in particular sale successful on South America the market of the logistics of third of S ('3PL), by its association with the integrator of system Tecsys Latin America (TLA), with offices in Chile, in Colombia, and in Venezuela. At the beginning of 2004, still of announced Provia that its ViaWare solutions and FourSite of SCE are now available as solutions of software of logistics to carry out the companies of the Caribbean by a report/ratio increased with Provia 'Latin-American distributor of S, TLA. The initiative in the area of the Caribbean implied the collaboration and the support of Provia, TLA, and also of Roger Marshall, a service provider of chain of provisioning with over nineteen years of experience of chain of provisioning in the area of the Caribbean.

During some time, however, we also expected Provia 'global agreement of retailer of S with one of the larger 3PL suppliers, as for increase its presence in Europe and country of the Pacifique coast. For this purpose, late in 2003, Provia and Menlo in the whole world, one of the world 'of the largest companies of chain of provisioning of S, announced that the two companies signed an global agreement of retailer. With the Menlo agreement, a long-term customer of Provia, is now a retailer of ViaWare WMS on a total basis, which can now sell, apply, and support the solution of Provia as an element of the company of the 'total service of S offering, since its total personnel of sale will be able to now offer Provia 's ViaWare WMS as an element of the booklet of Menlo DirectTech of the solutions of technology.

The result should be total availability of the solution of Provia, in particular in Europe and country of the Pacifique coast. Menlo in the whole world was formed in December 2001 and includes the operations of the forwarding world of Menlo (formerly emery forwarding), world logistics of Menlo, the vector SCM, world technologies of Menlo, Menlo in the whole world dispatch! , and world business services of Menlo. It has incomes of $2.7 billion (of USD) and employs more than 15.000 people. Its companies also provide total services of chain of provisioning under the mark of Menlo WorldwideSM including/understanding the air cargo, ocean freight, management of total logistics, pressing transport, consultation and technology of chain of provisioning, and broking and other of customs of the services of the trade in more than 200 countries. Menlo in the whole world is based in Redwood City, California (US) and is a segment of businesses of CNF Inc., Palo Alto, California-based, $4.8 billion the management companies (USD) of the total services of chain of provisioning which also has companies with the haulage and the manufacture regional of bottom of page.

In fact, the world logistics of Menlo was customer 3PL de Provia 'of S first which currently employs Provia 's ViaWare WMS and products of SPS in more than fifty customer-specific equipment through the USA, Europe, Asia, and Australia. New constructions of agreement on the existing 3PL report/ratio traditional, as Menlo can now authorize Provia 'produces S WMS with the existing customers of Menlo, who can now actuate the software themselves, or can use Menlo 'technology and personnel of S on a transitory or permanent basis.

By Menlo 'agreement existing of codveloppement of S with Provia, the company should be able to develop the prolongations of product which meet the specific needs of its customers as combine without ViaWare seam with its other solutions of SCM. It can now offer ViaWare to the customers who are interested by increasing Menlo 'operations total of S and machiner of the possibilities when they buy a management solution of warehouse. By using the sales of Menlo TEAM to resell ViaWare in addition to Provia of 's have the personnel of sale should increase ViaWare 'presence of S to an assistance much larger and increase the penetration of the market of Provia 'of S and the improvement of mark to a total assistance. Provia could be able to include the customers Menlo-with origin like which much more sites around the world using the solution of Provia WMS.

For Provia, the capacity to increase the conscience of the company 'the solution of SCE of S for a total assistance by the company 'the association of long time of S with Menlo was the next normal stage of the report/ratio. With knowing, Menlo was one of the first adopteurs to embrace Provia 'cost of S of concept of the property (operating burnup), in which its customers are authorized to manage their projects of the initial execution, and able total to make the changes and the levellings of configuration rapids of system with the minimal participation starting from Provia.
