Mantis, a leading provider of logistics software and solutions in the markets of Central Eastern Europe and Russia/CIS and Axxom, a leading global provider of labour management, supply chain, production and logistics optimization software, have agreed on a strategic partnership to deliver Axxom’s software and solutions to Mantis’ customers.
In the first step of the partnership, Mantis will provide Axxom’s software ORion-PI Staff Planning & Scheduling as add-on to its WMS (Warehouse Vision). A specific interface will be implemented to allow a smooth flow of data between the two systems. Such a seamless integration will enable users to precisely plan and schedule their staff based on actual data of the WMS and conduct for example capacity analysis by days, shifts or even minutes. Also, demand-oriented absence, manpower planning and person-related rescheduling between shifts and departments is possible. In a second step, both companies want to extend the partnership on Axxom’s solutions for intra-logistics optimization. Here Mantis will integrate the intelligent optimization algorithms of Axxom in its software and thus further enhance its total solutions.
"The agreement with Mantis is the first step towards an increasingly international market expansion of Axxom" explains Dr. Dirk Leising, Axxom’s CEO. "With Axxom’s experience developed in many top corporations in Germany and several other countries, the offering of innovative and market leading applications and especially our ability to develop local business in partnership with "best of breed" solution partners such as Mantis, we are ready to face this new challenge with enthusiasm. We are confident that we will be able to respond strongly to the growing demand from these regions to adopt our labour management methodology and applications that have proven successful in many other markets."
Mantis’ CEO Ioannis Panagiotopoulos said, "Our customers are looking to advanced and proven solutions that enable them to plan and schedule in detail their logistics staff based on the expected warehousing and distribution load. After reviewing the solutions available in the international market, we decided to partner with Axxom due to its feature-rich and proven software that can satisfy the highly complex requirements of Mantis’ customers as well as due to its intra-logistics optimization algorithms that allow us to potentially extend the scope of our partnership in the future".
