Jul 25, 2017: Philippines based logistics and freight-forwarding giant AAI Worldwide Logistics Inc. has announced that it has completed the first phase of implementing Ramco Systems’ ERP solution for Logistics. In Phase I of the go-live, AAI has implemented group-wide centralised systems to digitise Financial Management and Supply Chain Management functions. Also, complete Project Cargo modules are live at AAI +PEERS Inc., a member of the Project Cargo Network (PCN) organisation specialising in transportation and handling of Over Dimensional Cargo (ODC) used for engineering, procurement and construction companies across the island.

Ramco ERP for logistics service providers is being implemented across all of AAI’s freight-forwarding and warehousing operations, including those of its new Express Courier unit, Black Arrow Express, thereby consolidating operations for Finance, Project Cargo, and end-to-end Supply Chain Management across seven AAI operating units in the Philippines.

Rico Brizuela, chairman, AAI Group of Companies, said, “This is a significant leap in our digital journey to become The Philippines’ number one logistics company. As more companies abandon disparate manually operated systems for paperless processes, Ramco’s user-friendly technology will enable us to stay ahead of the curve in the fast-changing logistics industry.”

Allan Brizuela, President, Black Arrow Express, said, “With technological growth significantly influencing the courier industry, adapting newer technology to be at the forefront of innovation is the need of the hour. With Ramco as our technology partner, we have achieved considerable visibility across processes.”

Virender Aggarwal, CEO, Ramco Systems, said, “The role of back-end technological infrastructure in businesses should not be underestimated in this increasingly ‘Uberised’, service-on-demand logistics industry. Our ability to address the Logistics service provider segment with a comprehensive offering coupled with Mobility, Command Centre, HUB, optimisation engine and chatbots, is helping us win customer trust. The go-live at AAI marks a significant milestone in Ramco’s success in the Philippines as a market.”
