HighJump Software Introduces Warehouse Advantage Suite 5.0 for Best-of-Breed Collaborative Supply Chain Execution (SCE)
New Release Features Enhancements That Extend System Capabilities to Manage
Event-Driven Inter-Enterprise Business Processes
MINNEAPOLIS, Nov. 14 -- Today at Frontline Solutions Expo,
HighJump Software, the premier provider of adaptable, Internet-powered Supply
Chain Execution (SCE) solutions, announced the release of Warehouse Advantage
Suite 5.0. The new release extends HighJump Software`s collaborative SCE
capabilities through key features including: enhanced event management
capabilities, easier integration of XML, as well as unique upgradeability for
existing customers.
"The release of Warehouse Advantage 5.0 is a testament to our continued
commitment to provide industry-leading, highly adaptable supply chain
execution solutions that not only address the specific needs of manufacturing
and distribution companies, but provide fast and measurable ROI. The enhanced
Supply Chain Event Management (SCEM) functionality contained in this release
successfully rounds out our already robust supply chain execution solution
that includes warehouse management, transportation management, supply chain
visibility, and collaborative fulfillment," says Chris Heim, president and CEO
of HighJump Software.
Today`s reality is that the performance inside the warehouse impacts
everything outside of it-from relationships with suppliers and partners to the
quality of customer service. At the center of this strategy is Supply Chain
Event Management-enhanced functionality now included as part of HighJump
Software`s Warehouse Advantage Suite 5.0.
"In today`s world of integrated supply chains, collaborative commerce, and
inventory that seldom pauses, companies require a supply chain execution
system that can easily and cost-effectively accommodate new capabilities in
response to shifting business dynamics," say Leo Schmidt, senior product and
marketing strategist of HighJump Software. "Events in one part of the supply
chain, no matter how removed, often have direct and significant consequences
on bottom-line performance. In this increasingly collaborative business
paradigm, intelligent response to specific events or exceptions as they occur
within the supply chain is becoming critical to building and maintaining
competitive advantage."
According to a recent AMR Market Analytix report, Supply Chain Event
Management (SCEM) revenues are expected to grow 39% annually through 2005
reaching an estimated $1.1 Billion.
More than 700 companies worldwide-across industries such as high tech,
retail, logistics, chemical, energy, and consumer products-have purchased
supply chain execution solutions from HighJump Software. New features of the
Warehouse Advantage Suite Version 5.0 release include:
-- Event Management -- By measuring and monitoring supply chain processes
for exceptions and bottlenecks, Warehouse Advantage Suite`s new Event
Advantage module enables an organization to proactively manage events
across its supply chain. Event Advantage is a stand-alone module that
provides intelligent notification, control and collaborative resolution
of specific events occurring-or about to occur-within the extended
supply chain before they become problematic. Event Advantage provides a
broad set of notification mechanisms such as e-mail, pager, fax or
phone for managers or trading partners, as well as integrated workflow
capability to facilitate inter-enterprise business processes and
automatic rules-based response to supply chain events.
-- Easy Upgradeability -- Due to its unique architecture -- one that meets
customer business requirements without writing custom code -- Warehouse
Advantage Suite can be easily upgraded for a fraction of the time and
cost of competing solutions. The unique architecture permits HighJump
Software to ship the same upgrade CD to all of its Warehouse Advantage
Suite(TM) customers with an average upgrade taking hours as opposed to
months or years. This is a source of competitive advantage for both
HighJump Software and its customers.
-- Efficient Integration with XML -- Warehouse Advantage Suite automates
the process of creating, modifying and exchanging XML documents among
trading partners without custom coding. Because it is 100 percent Web-
deployable, administration and implementation require minimal
resources, lowering the overall cost of ownership.
