Hong Kong,
September 30, 2002. Hecny Group announced
today the adoption of Descartes?20/20 Visibility
Program. The Program provides shipment status
visibility and Trading Partner Platform for
buyer, supplier and freight forwarder.
The Program delivers shipment status visibility
on a common platform facilitating the exchange
of data and information flow between suppliers,
buyer, and freight forwarder. 20/20 Visibility
provides a platform which enables a buyer
to create Purchase Orders, its respective
suppliers to retrieve these Purchase Orders
and confirm acceptance in form of Sales Orders,
and the forwarder to update shipment milestones
as it happens. "As
each PO is represented by its respective
PO line, the buyer can keep track of each
order in transit," explained Arnold
Lee, vice president of Hecny Group. "Given
all the communications are done in the same
platform, this visibility minimizes cross-referencing
and reduces duplicate manual procedures,"
he further added.
The inaugural project is
to work in conjunction with Hecny Shipping
Limited’s longtime strategic partner
- Global Link Logistics - a leading logistics
provider in furniture movement from the
Fareast to North America. "I am truly
excited about the added benefits made avail
to our valued customers through this connectivity
system. Direct information sharing is definitely
the way to go." Said Chad Rosenberg,
CEO of Global Link Logistics. A working
team is now doing all preparation work and
this project is scheduled to be rolled out
in three months' time. This Descartes' 20/20
Visibility Program shall be introduced to
Hecny Group's VIP customers and other agent
partners in due course.
“Logistics management technology that
enhances customer relationships continues
to play a key role in driving competitive
advantage for leading third-party logistics
providers and freight forwarders like Hecny”
, said Manuel Pietra, Descartes co-chief
executive officer and president. Incorporating
20/20 Visibility into Hecny’s already
innovative logistics operations will enhance
customer value through the delivery of shipment
information as it happens.
