PRESS RELEASE - TransLogix 3PL Solution Streamlines Operations and Drives 25% Efficiency Gains for Maxwell Group of Logistics Companies

Sydney and Christchurch – 2 February 2009 - TransLogix, Australia & New Zealand’s leading supplier of transport and logistics solutions, has implemented an enterprise-wide 3PL warehouse system that has delivered significant and immediate benefits for the Maxwell Group of Logistics Companies.

The award-winning Translogix 3rd Party Logistics Application Suite provides advanced functionality to manage all aspects of distribution, freight management, warehouse management, order processing, inventory and supply chain management.

Based in Christchurch, Maxwell offers third party logistics (3PL) to many of New Zealand’s biggest names in fast moving consumer goods. Maxwell operates the largest purpose-built warehousing and distribution facility in the South Island, with 12,000 racked pallet spaces available for products ranging from food, beverages and spices to hardware.

The system has been operating since October 2008, Maxwell’s Managing Director, Phil Donnithorne, said:

“We chose Translogix after a four year search which considered every warehouse management product in Australia and New Zealand. Translogix was the only solution offering the warehouse management, billing, freight and reporting functionality to meet our requirements along with the full wireless capability we needed to help streamline our operation,” he said.

“We wanted a supplier from Australia or New Zealand to ensure the availability of local technical support and have been very pleased with the quality of knowledge and skills TransLogix has provided throughout the project.”

Mr Donnithorne said Translogix is accurate, efficient and affords full visibility in real-time so Maxwell clients can log into the system via a standard browser to track the status of their orders.

“As a dedicated 3PL supplier, we typically service sales-driven organisations that want to leverage our advanced logistics systems to help them grow their business. After less than two months, Translogix has improved our productivity by at least 25 per cent when it comes to picking products and shipping them out the door, allowing us to give our clients a real competitive Translogixge in their market in terms of efficient service and speed of delivery.”

Mr Donnithorne said Maxwell will continue to work with TransLogix over the next 12 months to build on the business intelligence, increasing visibility to further inform management decisions.

TransLogix Managing Director, Anselm Waterfield, said his company has been proud to partner with Maxwell to deliver a state-of-the-art warehouse management solution that sets new standards for efficiency and real-time visibility.

“We are committed to the success of our clients and are delighted to see that Maxwell has already achieved substantial benefits in terms of improved productivity and lower overheads. We will continue to work with their IT team to add new functionality and enhance its performance within the Maxwell environment,” he said.
