Advanced Business Solutions and ATMS partnership provides best-of-breed systems to improve supply chain efficiency

Business management and information systems provider, Advanced Business Solutions (ABS), today announces its partnership with ATMS plc, a leading supplier of warehouse management systems. This partnership sees the integration of ATMS’ StockTrack Plus warehouse management system into ABS’ financial management and Open Logistix supply chain management and CRM solutions, providing companies with an integrated solution to increase warehouse efficiency and better manage their stock.

ABS’ Open Logistix solutions assist mid-size businesses with the evolving challenges they face in planning, sourcing and collaboration, production, delivery and customer management from sales order processing through stock control, purchasing and distribution. Under the terms of this partnership users will now be able to access ATMS’ StockTrack Plus software directly from their ABS system, providing them with complete and accurate visibility of all available stock whilst increasing financial control. It will also automate a range of manual-based warehouse processes, reducing the time and costs associated with inefficient paper procedures.

Simon Fowler, managing director of Advanced Business Solutions (Commercial), says, “This partnership provides best-of-breed warehouse management and supply chain solutions to help third-party logistics, manufacturing and distribution companies increase their business efficiency and cut costs. This is especially important in the current economic climate as businesses strive to improve their stock control and reduce wastage in order to stay ahead of their competition and remain profitable.”

Stephen Cross, managing director of ATMS, comments, “We are delighted to have signed this partnership agreement with ABS. Our relationship through joint interfacing of mutual customers, such as E.ON and Dimensions Corporatewear, stretches back several years. Formalising this partnership will further strengthen our commitment to working closely with ABS to help more of their customers to improve the control of their warehousing operations and supply chain.”

Cross adds, “The considerable synergy between our technology and ABS’ systems will also enable companies that take advantage of this partnership to run more efficiently and improve their customer service levels.”
