Descartes' Broker and Forwarder Solution Makes D.J. Powers More Productive and Efficient
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
AMERSFOORT, The Netherlands, June 17, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Descartes Systems
Group (TSX:DSG) (Nasdaq:DSGX), the global leader in uniting logistics-intensive
businesses in commerce, announced that logistics service provider and customs
house broker D.J. Powers BV has deployed the Descartes OneView(TM) Forwarder
Enterprise solution to help streamline its European operations. Descartes'
solution is a platform to help the company improve local processes and
facilitate execution of international shipments.
"Providing personal, localized logistics services with global reach has been
paramount to our success since D.J. Powers was founded 85 years ago," said Eric
Bakker, Vice President, D.J. Powers Company, Inc. "Technology is a key enabler
and is critical to our ability to directly service Fortune 500 companies as we
expand into new countries and regions. Rotterdam is a strategic hub for our
European operations and was the ideal location to implement Descartes'
technology. Since the successful deployment of Descartes' OneView Forwarder
Enterprise solution, we've seen a 25-30% improvement in productivity and
operational efficiency in our Rotterdam location."
Descartes' OneView Forwarder Enterprise solution enables third-party logistics
service providers (3PLs), such as D.J. Powers, to more effectively manage their
customers' shipments while automating back-office operations. Large and small
organizations can take advantage of robust capabilities to plan and execute
transportation bookings, transmit security filings and customs entries, and
improve accounting processes-all on a single platform. The system's ability to
facilitate collection of shipment information from multiple parties and leverage
data across modules helps improve accuracy and significantly contributes to
efficiency gains.
"We're pleased that D.J. Powers is realizing significant gains following the
implementation of Descartes' OneView solution," said Fred van der Heide, Vice
President of Product Strategy at Descartes. "Our solutions are designed to help
forwarders and customs brokers more efficiently run complex international
operations. The fast and successful international rollout at D.J. Powers is a
great example of the power and benefits of Descartes' OneView solution to
improve forwarding operations across different geographies and divisions for
logistics service providers of all sizes."
