ALPHARETTA, GA, September 2, 2020 – Today, Aptean, a global provider of mission-critical enterprise software solutions, announced that Paragon Software Systems, the market-leading provider of route optimization software it acquired earlier this year, has been named to SupplyChainBrain’s (SCB) “100 Great Supply Chain Partners” of 2020. The company was recognized for providing customers with outstanding solutions and services, and for “meeting the need for speed” through agility and adaptability.
Aptean’s nomination included a case study with customer Al Khayyat Investments (AKI Group), a $1.6 billion family-owned business based in Dubai that operates in a diverse range of verticals. By leveraging Aptean’s routing and scheduling software, AKI Group saved more than $1 million on transportation costs, dramatically improving the productivity and efficiency of their transport operations.
“Today, transport operators need to focus far more on efficiencies than they have in the past,” said Gary Grindlay, Group Head of Logistics at AKI Group. “By integrating our planning, transport management and supply chain systems, we are leading the way in the region and ensuring we are best positioned for pressures such as fluctuations in the economy and rising wages. We are bringing together the best technology solutions available to address these challenges, with Aptean’s routing and scheduling software being a crucial part of our commitment to operational excellence.”
In addition to proving significant impact on customer experience and overall supply chain operations, SCB determined the winners by conducting a six-month online poll of supply chain professionals. The voting criteria specified that winners must embody the following attributes: reliability, excellence, value, expertise, problem-solving skills, continuous improvement, support, positive attitude, global reach and strong leadership.
“We are proud to be recognized as a valued and significant contributor to supply chain excellence for our customers. These humbling attributes prove Aptean’s dedication to providing superior customer service and support, while driving product innovation for logistics,” noted Alan Somerville, Chief Operating Officer at Aptean.
