Infor channel partners and product specialists Softworx and SNS have announced a partnership that will strengthen the Infor business in sub-Saharan Africa.
Softworx, with its expertise in end-to-end business solutions, will drive the sales and marketing of the solutions, while SNS, a leading international provider of supply chain services based in Lebanon, will be responsible for implementation.
SNS has an impressive track record, with customers and partners spread geographically across the globe. The company has offices in Dubai, Jeddah, Johannesburg and Beirut from which it offers training, consulting, and software services.
“Our main focus for the past few years has been on the Middle East and Gulf region. This is our first serious partnership outside of the Middle East,” explains Mario Ghosn, Senior Manager at SNS.
“Softworx is delighted to have formed this relationship with SNS. They are the Infor partner with the best track record in the Infor warehouse management implementations,” says Jane Thomson, MD of Softworx. “With their knowledge and experience of this solution and our experience and commitment to this market, we believe we are going to deliver significant value to the customers.”
“This ethos underpins everything we do and we know this will mean great business together,” she adds. “We will work together to ensure the customers get the very best level of service and to jointly grow the marketplace, and both companies will support each other wherever possible. We respect each others' reputations in our respective fields and look forward to a long and mutually beneficial partnership.”
Ghosn points out that the main goal of the partnership is to service any company looking to implement Infor's supply chain software with the best possible offering. This isn't limited only to large companies, he adds. “Our partnership is a great platform to offer opportunities to small and medium companies. We have solutions targeted for small and medium companies that are cost-effective, but offer the same functionalities as those designed for large enterprises.”
Together, Softworx and SNS will provide an expert team of operational and technical consultants, highly knowledgeable in the supply chain and logistics domain. By partnering together, these two companies are covering all the bases, ensuring that clients' requirements are always met and then exceeded by applying the best practices in the field.
