Manufacturers invited to cut costs with K3 and Syspro 09/10/2009
 
manufacturing ERP business software Syspro ERP specialist K3 says it has linked up with South African transport planning and fleet optimisation specialist OPSI to save haulage costs for manufacturers.

Howard Joseph, K3's managing director, reckons savings of up to 20% can be achieved with OPSI's PLATO (planning logistics and transport optimiser) logistics software integrated with Syspro.

PLATO, he explains, is a central management system that makes the transportation process more efficient and cost-effective. It manages and enables visualisation of the entire transportation process from order inception to financial administration for external hauliers.

"Syspro is already adding value to the businesses of our customers, underlining the importance of why people are investing in the latest systems to remain competitive and stay one step ahead of the competition," says Joseph.

"PLATO is a natural stablemate for in potentially offering our customers further cost-effective distribution solutions and we are delighted to be working with OPSI as a partner organisation," he adds.

And OPSI marketing director Sam Nudelman comments: "Our software works for any fleet of vehicles, from 10 cars for sales agents up to 1,000 or more trucks. It helps to minimise the mileage driven, maximise the fleet utilisation and, through ongoing monitoring substantially reduces the cost of doing business.

"The exciting part for us is that K3 is a well established and reputable company in the UK with a large footprint. It has a great team and is ideally suited as a partner organisation because our products are totally complementary to the current K3 offering."
