Trans Tasman supplier of transport and logistics solutions, TransLogix, has implemented an enterprise-wide 3PL (3rd party logistics) warehouse system for New Zealand’s Maxwell Group of Logistics Companies.
 

In an announcement today, TransLogix says its award-winning Advanta 3PL suite will provide Maxwell with significant and immediate benefits with its advanced functionality to manage all aspects of distribution, freight management, warehouse management, order processing, inventory and supply chain management.
 
Maxwell’s managing director, Phil Donnithorne, said today the system had been operating since October 2008 in the company’s Christchurch facility which was 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.

Donnithorne said Maxwell had chosen Advanta after a four year search which considered every warehouse management product in Australia and New Zealand., and “it 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.”
 
“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, Advanta 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 advantage in their market in terms of efficient service and speed of delivery.”

TransLogix Managing Director, Anselm Waterfield, said the company would continue to work with Maxwell’s IT team to add new functionality and enhance its performance within the Maxwell environment.”
