Premium Freight Services Provider Roberts Europe Selects Quintiq

Quintiq, a leading provider of Advanced Planning and Scheduling (APS) solutions, today announced that international freight logistics services provider Roberts Europe has chosen Quintiq to provide a comprehensive logistics planning solution for its pan-European operations.

The Quintiq Logistics Planner solution will be implemented in a phased approach to address the full range of needs across Roberts Europe’s array of solutions, including road -, air – and special services. Development began in early January and implementation of the first module is expected around the end of Q1, 2008 – a relatively rapid timeline enabled by the unique Quintiq architecture that uses a standard software core as the basis for custom-developed solutions.

By implementing Microsoft Dynamics and the Quintiq Logistics Planner, Roberts Europe aims at reducing its CO2 footprint and improving the efficiency of its operational processes. The progress can be exactly monitored on the solution’s powerful Logistics Dashboard. With a view of complying with strict Dutch sustainability laws, Roberts Europe is making a pioneering contribution to eco-friendly logistics.

The two other express delivery companies implementing Quintiq solutions are DHL and TNT Express. Last year, DHL signed an agreement with Quintiq for a real-time advanced planning and scheduling solution for its dispatch system. At the beginning of this year, TNT Express signed a contract for Quintiq’s advanced planning software in the collection and delivery of parcels.

Roberts Europe is a leader in the premium freight market. This market segment handles items that cannot be transported by standard logistics service providers because of stringent time limitations or service requirements. Roberts Europe will distinguish itself with the Quintiq solution selling concept in which customers are offered multiple tailor-made shipping options with varied service levels, lead times and tariffs. Because each offer is generated on-the-fly in the time of a phone call, all sales and service representatives must have instant access to real-time planning information that covers all transportation modes indicating available capacity able to execute within the required service levels.

The Quintiq solution will be integrated with the company’s transport management system.

The Premium Freight service provider chose Quintiq because of the unmatched ability to support solution selling through real-time planning and because it offered a centralized solution for use by multiple users in multiple divisions and locations, while still being flexible enough to handle division-specific rules and constraints. Other benefits of the Quintiq solution that were attractive to Roberts Europe include the solution’s optimization strengths and its ability to provide real-time information on the impact of disturbances and planning decisions on future activities.

By implementing Microsoft Dynamics and the Quintiq Logistics Planner, Roberts Europe aims at reducing its CO2 footprint and improving the efficiency of its operational processes. The progress can be exactly monitored on the solution’s powerful Logistics Dashboard. With a view of complying with strict Dutch sustainability laws, Roberts Europe is making a pioneering contribution to eco-friendly logistics.
