IMHX 2013: New look for AEB's SCM & GTM suite

AEB (International) Ltd is launching a new look and new features for its comprehensive SCM and GTM solution suite, ASSIST4, at this year's International Materials Handling Exhibition (IMHX), taking place at the NEC in Birmingham (19 to 22 March). In addition, AEB's website now matches this new look to showcase the latest product innovations and  improve the overall visitor experience.

AEB's supply chain management and global trade software suite ASSIST4 has evolved into a one-stop-shop for global trading companies looking to streamline their supply chain workflows, improve regulatory compliance and maximise efficiency while cutting costs. To better reflect this evolution, ASSIST4 now has a new look that goes hand-in-hand with latest graphical user interface updates throughout the system to improve the general user experience and usability.

Latest updates include:

• The Visibility & Collaboration Platform now includes time slot management for planning and scheduling of loading dock activities. This enables companies to improve workload balance, avoid waiting times and reduce costs.
• Order Management as an integral part of the process to sort out the logistical side of sales and purchase orders and create an ideal link between procurement and fulfilment.
• Warehouse Management has been awarded the WMS validation seal by the Fraunhofer Institute for Material Flow and Logistics for the third consecutive time and provides real-time stock visibility.
• Freight and Transport Management has been merged to offer the best combination of operational excellence and maximised cost control.
• Customs Management now offers integrated global solutions in collaboration with KSD Software for fast and efficient border clearances in all major international markets.
• Compliance & Risk Management secures trading in accordance with applicable trade laws and regulations and has been officially certified by PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC).

Claire Umney, General Manager of AEB (International) said: "What makes ASSIST4 special is that it supports both SMEs and large, multinational corporations and automates processes in both logistics execution (e.g. warehouse, transport and freight management) and regulatory compliance (e.g. special customs procedures and export control requirements). ASSIST4 comes in different forms, depending on the client's requirements: as a convenient online solution, a powerful client installation or as a slick SAP® integration. It can fit any business plan and always offers the possibility of functional expansion in the future. We are looking forward to showcasing ASSIST4's new look and latest functionalities to supply chain professionals at this year's IMHX."

ASSIST4 stands for excellence in supply chain execution and over 6,000 customers worldwide trust AEB solutions to support their global business through standardising workflows, automating processes and accelerating operations. Latest updates provide for even smoother supply chain networks, process integration and improved user experiences.
