Arzoon & AquiTec Announce Partnership to Provide
Order-to-Delivery Lifecycle Management to Grocery Sector Combined
Solution will Enable Grocery Retailers to Implement a Single
Solution to Meet the Requirements of the Order-to-Delivery
Lifecycle while Increasing Supply Chain Velocity and Performance
SAN MATEO, Calif., Oct. 27 /PRNewswire/ -- Arzoon, Inc., a leading
provider of integrated transportation and international trade
logistics management software, and AquiTec International, a
provider of supply and demand chain execution software, have formed
a global alliance to deliver advanced supply chain management
solutions to the grocery industry. The combined offering will
enable grocery retailers and wholesalers to share and integrate
information from legacy systems across their global "value chain"
network into a single, hosted solution framework. The alliance will
initially focus on integrating Arzoon's Transportation and
Logistics Management solution with AquiTec's Warehouse, Yard, Order
and Procurement Management Systems. The combined solution will
enable grocery retailers to drive both cost-savings and customer
service improvements throughout their respective supply chains.
"This partnership creates a powerful foundation for retailers and
wholesalers to derive substantial benefits from. Our combined
solution will provide the grocery community with added visibility
to their inbound and outbound logistics needs while optimizing
their procurement and warehousing costs," said Rik Schrader, VP of
Strategy and Services for AquiTec. "AquiTec and Arzoon are
confident that we can maximize our customers' profit margins with
better controls and increased velocity within their supply chain
network." With 35% of Logistics costs being associated to
"transportation," grocery distributors will be empowered to better
manage their days-on-hand inventory, reduce out-of-stocks, and
unsalables due to inadequate transportation management. "Faced with
the challenges of new industry initiatives, increased competition,
and growing customer demands, grocery retailers and wholesalers
continue to look for powerful technology solutions to gain a
competitive advantage," commented Jerry Overcash, EVP of Field
Operations for Arzoon. "We are pleased to partner with AquiTec to
deliver a strategic solution to their customer base of over 300, as
well as leading companies worldwide." About Arzoon, Inc. Arzoon is
