E.ON selects OpenLogistix for integrated logistics & warehouse system

Wednesday, 19 August 2009

OpenLogistix has won an order for a £600,000 integrated logistics and warehouse system from energy company E.ON, one of the UK’s leading integrated power and gas companies.

Following a competitive tendering process including reviewing the current systems, E.ON chose an integrated solution from OpenLogistix Systems comprising OpenLogistix supply chain software utilising the intranet with eBIS Exchange with the ATMS warehouse management system. E.ON UK selected the solution due to the understanding of the requirements shown by OpenLogistix and ATMS staff, the depth and flexibility of the solution and the ability to closely align with the company's existing business systems and processes.

The system will enable supply chain staff to accurately record stock at E.ON’s many depots, including main warehouses, hubs and dead drop locations and track all serial numbered meters, consumables, PPE, uniforms and tools to and from point of issue. The project also needed to incorporate the installation of wireless remote data capture with bar code scanning devices for the receipt and issue of stock and materials.

The integrated software solution, due to go live by August 2009, will dramatically reduce manual data entry, increase control and improve efficiencies in management reporting allowing managers to directly access real time information via the desktop.
