Kewill Flagship™ to be Deployed in Three Global Growth Sectors
Marlborough, MA, Kewill (LSE: KWL), a leading provider of global solutions for the dynamic supply network, today announced that Ingersoll Rand Company Limited, has selected Kewill to improve shipment visibility and reduce transportation costs. Ingersoll Rand has been using the Kewill Clippership solution at five of their distribution facilities. The move to Kewill Flagship will support the increased international volumes and needs being driven through their top growth sectors of Industrial Technologies, Security Technologies and Climate Control Technologies.
Kewill Flagship met or exceeded all the needs of the business including comprehensive integration into the Oracle e-Business suite and Oracle Transportation Management solution to complete the entire order cycle. Ingersoll Rand ships approximately 10,000- 20,000 packages per day and anticipates utilizing Kewill’s Flagship for a significant number of its parcel based shipments (approx. 200 sites).
“We have taken a decision to further our investment in Kewill because we have received significant value with the Clippership product. As our needs increased we required a solution that was capable of handling our global requirements and could integrate with our Oracle e-Business Suite footprint,” said Mike Macrie, global director, back office technology. “The enterprise capabilities of Kewill Flagship offer us a foundation we believe is crucial for meeting our future fulfillment demands.”
"Ingersoll Rand is an ideal example of a forward-thinking customer taking shipping from the departmental level to a global implementation,'' said Brian Hodgson, vice president of marketing and business development for Kewill Americas. By implementing Kewill Flagship globally as part their worldwide Oracle project, they will gain better visibility and control of their parcel shipping costs.
