Some
of our recent Projects:
____________________________________
Midway
USA
is currently an in progress ALS-Optipack
project. When complete, ALS-Optipack
will provide Midway USA customers with optimum carton selection
and most economical shipping. The project is proceeding smoothly
and should complete on time and on budget.

Restaurant
Equippers
selects ALS-Optipack
with Pack-N-Rate
to meet their carton selection, palletization, and LTL shipment
needs. Primary in their decision to go with the proven ALS-Optipack
system was the ability to rate shop their negotiated rates,
including LTL and small parcel carriers. Additionally, ALS-Optipack
ensures the lowest cost and most accurate shipping by handling
each/case packs, each/pallet quantities, strapping, kits,
and items that self ship. Shipping information is available
for both CSRs and web site clients, with quotes provided at
web speed. This results in more shopper orders, boosting sales
and profitability.

Marine
Depot
uses ALS-Optipack
to provide online customers with instant, accurate shipping
costs for the shipping method of their choice. As each item
is added to the shopping cart, ALS-Optipack
selects the optimum carton to pack the order in, minimizing
carrier charges, and can display the updated shipping cost
in web time. Frozen product is packed in insulated cartons
with room for dry ice, this is automatically accounted for
and included in the displayed shipping cost. Increasing sales
as a result of decreased shipping charges is just one benefit,
order fulfillment is expedited by picking directly to the
shipping carton, allowing the elimination of totes or bags
adding profitability.

Bronco Wine had a detailed and thorough list
of requirements that their WMS must meet. Advanced Logistics
Systems was selected for superior graphical capabilities,
mapped warehouse space, intelligent picking path selection,
effective each, layer, and full pallet pick by order quantity,
and picked pallet optimization. In addition, putaway requests
can be interleaved with pick requests via RF, maximizing productivity,
efficiency, and economy of pick/putaway labor, and pallet
use. Integrated Advanced
Loading System provides optimized truck loads
that are effective for multi stop California deliveries. Bronco
Wine is another ALS integration success with IFS.

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.

Shuttle
Express installs
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.
