Silver
Bullet Technologies president,
John Higgins, and Robert Ahbel, president of Advanced Logistics
Systems, Inc. signed an agreement integrating the companies'
products and services. Silver Bullet Technologies targets
the NVOCC, freight forwarder, importer and exporter market,
for companies in the 10 - 100 million dollar range. Their
innovative software, SB Freight™, provides receiving, warehousing,
value added service (re-pack, consolidation and de-consolidation),
container stuffing and the required documentation for import/export,
using MS SQL. In addition, seamless integration to the Microsoft
Great Plains products and technologies provides
financials that are customized to the freight forwarding industry.
. Advanced
Logistics Systems
is providing the Advanced Loading System®, fully integrated
into the package. ALS provides cartonizing, pallet, truck
and sea container stuffing load plans to be generated automatically.
The fully optimized results are then automatically incorporated
in SB Freight™, not only in the loading documentation, but
for each step of the export or import processing as well.
With the collaboration, time and labor savings, in addition
to direct container and truck cost savings can be considerable.
10% to 27% utilization improvements in just container stuffing
have been documented by users of the system such as Hapag-Lloyd
and North American Van Lines. "We believe the collaboration
and synergy of our companies, will result in an unprecedented
leap forward for our customers in this market. Increasing
bottom line, competitive advantage and improving customer
service will prove that the sum is far greater than the separate
parts." said Mr. Ahbel at a press conference recently.
The products are to be unveiled at the Sea
Cargo Americas International Congress & Exhibition
Cargo Americas International Congress & Exhibition in
Miami, Fl May 7-8.

ALS-Web Reservations
Serving
the Seattle-Tacoma (SEA) airport and vicinity, Shuttle Express
needed a real time web reservation system. Prime requirement
was the ability to integrate seamlessly with the 'home' CSR
reservation system, plus give out 'real time' reservation confirmation.
Real time inventory insures all passengers have their transportation
to and from the airport at the correct time. Multiple classes
of service (share ride, exclusive van and limousine) are accommodated!
Tens of thousands of reservations and confirmations have been
issued by the new system, which is hosted on Advanced Logistics
Systems own servers.
