Axida named in Cool Vendors list
UK-based Axida, a provider of home delivery solutions, has been included in the list of five “Cool Vendors” in the “Cool Vendors in Supply Chain Management, 2010” report by Gartner. The report analyses Axida HDi – which is used by major retailers and third party logistics companies (3PL).
Axida HDi manages home deliveries where the product, service or proposition requires a customer to be present at the time of delivery. The system allows retailers to offer specific delivery time slots to their customers so that they can arrange to be at home to receive their goods.
Companies using Axida HDi include retail clients Ikea, Laura Ashley and Wickes and 3PLs like CEVA Logistics (which provides a service to Tesco’s and shared service to a number of retailers, including Sainsbury’s and Habitat) and Wincanton (which provides dedicated services to M&S and Best Buy).
“We believe Axida’s inclusion in the Cool Vendor report by Gartner validates our position as an innovator in the home delivery solutions market,” said Wayne Holgate, director of Axida.
