beyond standard experience

"As we have up to 1500 shipments per month and more than 20 carriers with whom we collaborate it is very important that the transport assignment is of high quality and that the freight cost control is comprehensive. After an intensive selection procedure we decided to use the inet TMS by inet-logistics for the optimisation of these tasks and for the realisation of our accordingly extensive requirements. The logistics know-how which is already integrated in the software, an existing, certified SAP-interface, the possible, efficient structuring of the implementation project as well as the references of our partner triggered this decision. After a little while it was thus possible to carry out the transport assignment process with significantly higher stability and efficiency. The freight cost billing was successfully changed over to the credit note procedure – based on a freight cost control system which now is automated, complete and usage-dependent. An extension to the module "spot-sourcing” is planned at the moment." [ Wilfried Kellner, Authorised Representative, Manager Purchasing/Logistics at Agrana Zucker ]

"A comprehensive reporting feature was part of the specification package we sent to inet-logistics, as we send over 1.5 million parcels in Europe each year and work with over ten service providers. The reports should deliver valid data for performance management, but also for analyses on weight and address structures, etc." [ Kristina Schäfer, Senior Transport Manager at Coloplast Distribution ]

"Apart from the optimization of our internal logistics processes we attach great importance to the transparency of these processes. Transparency has more and more become the focus of attention of our customer orientation and it furthermore provides important information for our process controlling." [ Kurt Pikel, CIO at Egger ]

"We have optimised and standardised our transport operations, loading device management and transport clearing processes by implementing the inet TMS. The web application makes it possible to easily integrate Magan Steyr's logistics service providers, suppliers and employees into one workflow. Thanks to this solution, Magna Steyr has been able to reduce process costs and optimise transports." [ Dipl.-Ing. Alfons Dachs-Wiesinger, Senior Manager Transport Logistics & Customs at Magna Steyr Fahrzeugtechnik ]

"The ability to quickly connect with all of our suppliers is my personal favorite. In the past we spent a great deal of time coordinating with all of the individual parties involved." [ Heiko Kayser, Head of Global Transportation & Containers at MAN ]

"The continuous management and the complete control of worldwide, cross-company logistics processes - from the supplier to the customer - are an important success factor for the OC Oerlikon Balzers AG. The inet TMS makes a significant contribution in this context. Since the standard software of inet-logistics was introduced, which connects our ERP-system via one single interface to the systems of our logistics service providers, the entire management of freight costs and the handling of all documents which are necessary for the export have been completed automatically. Additionally, the Total Costs of Ownership for those systems which are needed in this process chain get reduced considerably - in fact for all participating supply chain partners." [ Urs Rusch, Head of Logistics Senior Manager at Oerlikon Solar ]

"As one of the first companies in its sector, OMV decided to apply greater transparency to the planning and control of its own runs by the use of an innovative IT solution. Taking into account the extension of our production capacities and a volume of some 80,000 wagon movements per annum, the manual organisation of our tanker management was being stretched to its limits. To manage international tanker planning and ongoing monitoring efficiently, inet-logistics was commissioned to develop and implement an IT solution for seamless and cross-company tanker fleet management, including prognostic stock planning. We were convinced by the high flexibility of the inet-logistics solution, the demonstrable performance and particularly by the great experience of the company in the transport business and pallet management, as well as the open Internet solution that particularly represents an advantage within an international context and is scaleable." [ Melitta Wadsack, Head of Department Strategic Logistics at OMV Refining & Marketing ]

"Swiss Post Solutions has now been working together with inet-logistics successfully for 5 years. On the basis of the inet Transportation Management System we jointly develop and integrate customer-specific solutions with which today more than thousand companies optimise their team work within the supply chain. The technical experience and methodical expertise of inet-logistics’ employees and the modularity and ease of integration of the inet TMS are equally important success factors here." [ Gerhard Schwab, CEO at Swiss Post Solutions ]

"Because so many external partners from around the world are involved, the use of a SAP solution or some other standard solution would not have been quite up to the task. Moreover, everything is done on a common platform now instead of a constant exchange of emails. I am convinced that this has enabled us to process many shipments one or two days faster." [ Christian Gmeiner, Logistics Manager at Tridonic ]

"As a subsidiary of the global Würth group of companies, we control the major part of internal procurement and distribution logistics. Customers outside our group also benefit directly from our services. Our cooperation with inet-logistics has helped us make a major step forward towards our objective of setting-up an Internet based logistics platform within the Würth group. By using the Transportation Management System (TMS), it was possible to particularly reduce the manual resources required in the sea and airfreight area, which led to an increase in our process stability. Since we remain fully independent of suppliers, we always select the best and most cost-effective solution in each case for our customers. This is why it is important to have a high-performance IT system that fulfils the requirements of our partners and customers." [ Manuel Knöpfli, Managing Director Würth Logistics at Würth Logistics ]
