Ajover Selects HighJump Software to Help Manage International Growth With End-to-End Supply Chain Execution Solutions
Multinational Manufacturer to Improve Throughput and Inventory Accuracy for Diverse Product Lines by Leveraging HighJumps Robust, Multilingual Solutions
EDEN PRAIRIE, MN (PRWEB) May 27, 2004 -- http://www.highjumpsoftware.com - HighJump Software, a 3M company, the global leader in providing highly adaptable, best-of-breed supply chain execution (SCE) solutions, today announced that Ajover S.A., a multinational producer of construction materials, disposables, catering packages and petrochemical resins, has selected HighJumps Supply Chain Advantage suite to manage its fast-growing supply chain operations. HighJumps end-to-end suite will optimize all warehouse, yard and transportation management functions, as well as collaboration with international suppliers and other trading partners. Ajover evaluated many SCE vendors before selecting HighJump to drive improvements in throughput, inventory accuracy and product handling for its diverse, fast-growing product lines.
Although Ajovers worldwide manufacturing plants already feature state-of-the art automation, its warehouses lacked similar enhancements. With HighJump, Ajover will be empowered to modernize its warehouses and create a seamless interface to additional warehouse automation tools. Ajover will implement HighJumps multilingual solutions in its main warehouse in Bogotá, Colombia, followed by other facilities in South America, the U.S., Europe and the Middle East over the next five years.
We selected HighJump because we were very impressed with both the robust, adaptable functionality and the professional, personal way in which all of our interactions with HighJump were handled," said Albert Douer, Executive VP of Ajover. Trust is a big factor in a decision like this and HighJump has already proven its commitment to our business."
Were pleased to continue our international momentum by working with Ajover to address their complex supply chain requirements," said Chris Heim, president of HighJump Software. Our system will easily manage the diversity of their product lines in a way that improves accuracy and efficiency, while generating low total cost of ownership over the lifetime of the system."
