Extending its portfolio of solutions to the industrial sector, System Software Associates, represented locally by Armada, has announced a joint marketing and development agreement with SynQuest, to provide an integrated supply chain solution that will allow SSA customers to drive profitability and lower costs.
SynQuest is the latest addition to SSA`s offering in the advanced planning and scheduling arena and brings increased functionality in the area of discrete manufacturing to the overall SSA Portfolio offering.
This joint agreement authorises SSA to sell SynQuest Manufacturing Manager software, one of the premier planning and execution applications in the supply chain market, into SSA`s existing customer base and to prospective customers globally.
Both companies are jointly developing software to integrate SynQuest Manufacturing Manager software, which is part of the SynQuest Supply Chain Performance Series, with eBPCS, SSA`s enterprise resource planning (ERP) system.
"This agreement will allow SSA to provide its customers with an integrated software solution to optimise operational and financial performance of their supply chains," says Chris Jones, senior VP of marketing and corporate development at SynQuest. "It will allow them to maximise production schedules based on cost, cycle time and on-time delivery requirements."
"SynQuest Manufacturing Manager software combines advanced planning and scheduling with manufacturing execution, enabling an SSA customer to develop the best possible production sequence," says Alan Robson, MD of Armada SA. "Unlike traditional supply chain management tools that address either planning or execution, SynQuest integrates both of these essential components to help companies satisfy their customers` rapidly changing needs while, at the same time, meeting bottom-line business objectives."
