Midl Logistics finishes on warehouse IT

NETHERLANDS: Four Soft Limited (4S) has completed implementation of its Warehouse Management Software - 4S eLog through its subsidiary Four Soft Netherlands B.V. at Midl Integrated Logistics B.V. (Midl), the Netherlands-based freight forwarding and third party (3PL) logistics company, with an established international network, covering various geographical locations. Midl has been partnering with Four Soft for its various software requirements for more than a decade now.

Midl is a logistics service provider focused on supplying warehousing, distribution and supply chain management services to its customers throughout the Netherlands, USA and UK. Their work covers storage services repacking and assembling services and assembling of hardware within their warehouse in order to localize them for a specific country or a specific configuration.

To support its expansion plans, complex operations and growing customer needs, Midl signed a contract with Four Soft recently to implement 4S eLog. Visibility and transparency were the two important features which Midl was looking for in addition to the regular inbound and outbound warehousing activities, as per a press release. It also needed a system which offers cell division instead of an organization with many layers, to manage its multiple customers using their warehouse.

According to Kees Dinnessen, managing director, Midl Integrated Logistics B.V., said, "We were burdened with complex warehousing operations, owing to our customers’ varied business needs and did not want to further burden our staff with a complex software application to handle the day-to-day operations. We choose 4S eLog over other systems, owing to its simple yet powerful functionality. We are sure we will start reaping benefits in terms of operational efficiencies and quicker ROI in a short period of time."
