eFulfillment Australia Powers Future with Hosted Deployment of InfoMotion
Announcement posted by InfoMotion 26 Oct 2016
Melbourne, 25 October 2016 – InfoMotion, a leading provider of end-to-end software solutions for the warehousing and logistics sector, has announced that eFulfillment Australia, a privately-owned Australian business in Victoria, will go live with InfoMotion before the end of the year.
eFulfillment Australia operates a 3PL fulfillment warehouse in Melbourne and has provided fulfillment services including the design, development and management of eStores for Australian businesses since 2003.
In addition to providing product storage and time sensitive shipping, the company integrates its in-house order fulfillment and warehousing software with a customer’s eCommerce platform. This enables clients to access real-time order and inventory data through the use of tracking numbers which enable customers to track their delivery online.
InfoMotion’s icsLogistics solution, a single-platform, fully integrated logistics, warehousing and transport software system, will replace e-Fulfillment Australia’s incumbent warehousing solution which was no longer being further developed and equipped with new feature functionality.
“As a result, we went to market to deploy a new platform which could scale for our business and meet the demands for both our own company growth in the years ahead as well as support our customers’ ongoing requirements for agility, innovation and great customer experience,” said Rob Harrison, Director, eFulfiilment Australia.
Following a market review, InfoMotion was selected based on the solution’s ability to be rapidly customised for e-Fulfillment Australia’s requirements as well as its ease of use and competitive price.
“We also liked the fact that InfoMotion is a local, Australian company. During the initial scoping and planning phase, they had people on site who were very willing to work with us. We are a boutique business and I feel that InfoMotion are similar in this respect, able to understand our business requirements, provide a personal perspective on our business needs, and ultimately have our best interests at heart,” said Harrison.
Specifically, eFulfillment Australia will deploy the InfoMotion warehousing and transport feature functionality which will enable the company to manage and track the process of holding stock in a warehouse all the way through to delivery via third-party distributors and carriers. Key features include scanning products in and out, service tracking, reporting on scan and pick rates, stock holding, dispatching, order processing, receipt processing and managing transport and financials.
The 3PL warehouse management software is a paperless warehouse management system which caters to all modern contract logistics practices including, cross-docking, auto put-away, rolling stock take, dangerous goods, multiple bin locations, pallet management and temperature zone control. It provides extensive and flexible provisions for reporting, customer web access and electronic data interchange (EDI). It also includes a flexible pricing structure for charging out pallet spaces and services.
At the same time, it will provide eFulfillment Australia with automated, integrated and real time client specific billing for every chargeable activity including handling, basic and minimum charging, extra items charging and storage by pallet, by location, by cubic, by product group and by commodity.
The InfoMotion icsTransport functionality will enable eFulfillment Australia to seamlessly port data in real-time from their existing systems or directly from customers’ internal systems. Customer order management will be facilitated through both the client web portal and an EDI file interchange with automatic job rating according to a customers’ rate card adding greater automation, consistency and accuracy.
“At the same time, our company’s exposure to any potential risk in our IT systems is now reduced through the decision to deploy a hosted version of InfoMotion at the Blue Apache data centre in Melbourne. This will enable us to focus our efforts on working on the business rather than on managing IT server infrastructure in-house,” said Harrison. “We look forward to the versatility that hosting will provide in enabling us to scale the business and to take advantage of the ongoing development of the feature functionality within InfoMotion in the years ahead.”
eFulfillment Australia plans to go live with InfoMotion in December.
