CDC Software Corporation (NASDAQ: CDCS), a global provider of
enterprise software applications and services, today announced the
general availability of Proof of Delivery, a new CDC Supply Chain
mobile application that provides companies with real-time
visibility and control of the flow of goods -- from the warehouse
to the customer.
Proof of Delivery helps to improve fleet productivity, whether
in-house or outsourced, by providing complete delivery information
such as sites to visit, delivery times and containers to unload
(i.e. boxes, pallets, cartons and parcels), and automates data
capture with barcode scanning of goods. It also helps to shorten
the order-to-cash cycle since it enables immediate and accurate
invoicing, which decreases the number of disputed invoices and
minimizes credits/chargebacks. The application captures the
consignee’s written signature electronically, takes pictures of the
condition of the goods (i.e. damaged goods) and transmits them to
the central office for review. A built-in GPS receiver also enables
the real time tracking of the shipping vehicle and goods for better
route management.
CDC Software believes that interest is already building for this
innovative new mobile product throughout CDC Supply Chain’s
customer base. One leading European building-supply
wholesaler/retailer with 250 stores, who is using the CDC Supply
Chain Ranger platform for managing their 100 satellite depots, has
expressed interest in eventually upgrading to Proof of
Delivery.
Based on CDC Supply Chain’s Ranger platform, Proof of Delivery
works on any handheld device supporting Windows 6.x, supports
common network standards and can also work offline due to a
built-in cache mechanism. The web services-based interface enables
Proof of Delivery to integrate with CDC Supply Chain and other CDC
Software solutions, as well as other enterprise and supply chain
systems.
Proof of Delivery is the latest of several recent major product
releases in the last few quarters that further validates CDC
Software’s delivery of innovative products as part of its acquire,
integrate, innovate and grow strategy. The key enabler in the
“innovate” component of CDC Software’s corporate strategy is the
company’s global technology and business platform that features an
infrastructure of multiple complementary applications and services,
domain expertise in vertical markets, state-of-the-art product
engineering centers in India and China and product engineering’s
adoption of the Agile development methodology which promotes high
speed-to-market delivery, enhanced quality and exceptionally
collaborative product development.
“Proof of Delivery is a mobile application targeting companies
that want to have better control of their transportation and
customer fulfillment process,” said Alan MacLamroc, chief product
and technology officer of CDC Software. “This mobile application
helps companies improve their customer service by minimizing
handling errors and facilitating timely and accurate deliveries.
The solution also helps improve fleet productivity, optimize supply
chain visibility, minimize administrative paper work, and shorten
the order-to-cash cycle, all of which can positively impact a
company’s bottom line.”
“In addition to targeting CDC Supply Chain customers, Proof of
Delivery is expected to be cross sold into CDC Software’s Ross and
CDC Factory customer base. This latest new innovative product is
yet another example of how we believe we are skillfully executing
on our acquire, integrate, innovate and grow strategy.”
