“The latest addition to our
management information
technology systems is the
bulk and pick and pack facility for the
distribution of cargo, opening up a new
avenue of business particularly in the
logistics supply chain,” says Pedro Da
Costa, MD of CargoXchange.
“All of this is done with Wi-Fi or 3G
remote hand-held scanners scanning
product codes and then allowing
mix and match packing for delivery
with final manifests to clients,” he
told FTW.
“Using remote Wi-Fi or 3G hand-held
scanners for intakes / despatches / pick
/ allocation lists and stock taking means
the system is truly cutting edge.”
The company offers remote
assistance, interfacing live with the
client and solving 90% of all queries,
without the client having to wait for
onsite assistance. “Affordable billings
based on modules are customised
according to client needs,” adds Michael
Henning, CEO of Prime-X business &
account management services.
CargoXchange is a service provider
supplying management information
technology systems exclusive to the
warehouse and logistics industry.
The system facilitates the precapture
of expected cargo from
manifests or packing specifications,
preferably electronically. These can be
manually captured or imported into
the system, alerting the warehouse to
space needed.
Upon intake of cargo, system reports
will analyse expected versus actual
stock, with immediate discrepancies
being emailed to all concerned
automatically.
Clients are encouraged to log onto
the warehouse management system via
the internet to monitor stock and create
pick lists, ensuring the correct cargo
is always delivered. Cargo picked /
allocated can only then be loaded onto
a vehicle, saving offloading and return
costs, says Henning.
CargoXchange hosts all software
and operating systems required, with
daily automatic backups, allowing
clients to get on with their daily work.
“A joint venture with partners
Prime-X business & account
management services, who have
extensive experience in the marketing
of service and systems for the logistics
industry sets the scene for an aggressive
marketing campaign in 2009,”
Henning concludes.
