MARLBOROUGH, MA., July 14, 2004 -- Kewill Solutions North America (LSE: KWL), the leader in enterprise shipping management software, announced immediate availability of its new Javalin Suite. Javalin Enterprise Ship (ES) and Javalin Distribution Ship (DS) are the first two solutions in this launch and are the first in a series of products that are being delivered, built on the enterprise shipping platform acquired from ShipNow Global Holdings, Ltd.
“The momentum and customer adoption of the Javalin technology is validating the growth of the enterprise shipping market,” said Bill Owen, COO of Kewill Solutions North America. “Our customers are looking for solutions that go beyond automating shipping, and can support their supply chain execution strategy. Whether they are focused on customer service, supporting growth, or integrating an acquisition into their fulfillment process, they need an enterprise shipping solution that they can deploy worldwide.”
Javalin ES and Javalin DS together support the complete spectrum of outbound shipping processes from production shipping from the warehouse or factory through desktop shipping in the office or retail outlet. Built on the same high performance, scalable technology each product is designed for a specific environment. Javalin ES is an enterprise-class, multi-carrier shipping management system that supports complex, high volume, multiple location, international, and domestic shipping. Javalin DS has the same robust architecture and is best suited for single warehouse deployments. Its out-of-the-box business rules and major U.S. carrier support enable extremely rapid implementations, and quick ROI.
