Crowley Maritime Corporation Endorses IES, Ltd
Midland Park, NJ, June 27, 2008 --(PR.com)-- IES Ltd., a leading software provider in logistics, supply chain solutions and customs brokerage technology, today announced its endorsement by Crowley Maritime Corporation, employer of 4,100 and operator of a fleet of more than 210 vessels.
Jacksonville-based Crowley Maritime Corporation, is a privately-held family and employee-owned company that provides diversified transportation and logistics services in domestic and international markets by means of six operating lines of business: Puerto Rico/Caribbean Liner Services, Latin America Liner Services, Logistics Services, Petroleum Services, Marine Services and Technical Services.
Kenneth Black, Business Process Management, of the Crowley Logistics business operating unit of Crowley Maritime Corporation explains, "IES was selected after an extensive six-month review of various products. It was chosen for its value in meeting Crowley Logistics’ requirements for a single-source, process-driven freight forwarding product that could meet the many operational needs of our offices in the United States and Central America." As a third-party logistics provider (3PL), Crowley Logistics, Inc. offers supply chain management and transportation management services including: freight forwarding, ocean, inland, and air transportation, customs house brokerage, cargo insurance, warehousing and distribution.
"Previously, Crowley Logistics used various manual and disparate systems that limited our reporting capabilities, increased the potential for revenue gaps and prevented us from working in an efficient manner by often having to duplicate data entry and communications that ultimately did not allow us to focus on customer service. Implementing IES has allowed Crowley Logistics to define standardized processes for our services, improve billing cycles and provide management reporting for P&L analysis of our different business units. IES has also given Crowley Logistics the tools to provide our current and potential customers solutions for their shipping needs."
"We are very proud to partner with Crowley Logistics," said Dawn Keller, IES's Vice President of Operations, "Crowley is a major player in the 3PL market, and has consistently maintained high quality logistics standards. Crowley's dedication and keen sense of planning and organization are the cornerstone of its success. IES stands behind Crowley as a whole and we hope to continue this partnership for years to come."
"Crowley and IES work side-by-side to develop custom strategies to implement effective solutions," explains Perry Curac-Dahl, IES's Director of Quality Assurance, "This is essential with the complexities inherent when doing business in the international arena. With the dedication, analysis and planning behind the launch of each custom-engineered project, it is critical to keep an open channel of communication. It has been a pleasure to continually work with Crowley toward a common goal and develop a comprehensive strategy and plan."
