Ten years since adopting Fargo Systems’ TOPS (Transport Operations & Processing Systems) software, leading UK haulier ATL Haulage says  the technology has been a game changer for its business.

Ash Karia, director of ATL Haulage, says: “In the decade we’ve been using the technology, the marketplace has changed exponentially, and real-time information is a pre-requisite of all our clients. Enabling us to give ETA and ATA data, we believe TOPS has revolutionised the logistics industry.

“But the benefits are not all client facing. From ATL’s perspective, user-friendly TOPS brings a host of efficiencies and cost-saving to our traffic operators, who are based at London Gateway and our Southampton depot, and the business overall. With the ability to capture all costs relating to our 200 plus fleet, literally, nothing gets overlooked from asset depreciation to mobile phone charges. And crucially our profit and loss is available at the touch of a button.”

Steve Collins, director of Fargo Systems, says of the system that has become ubiquitous across the industry: “The sophistication and complexities of the global marketplace we live in demands real-time information. But, it’s not just the logistics company’s client that is requesting precise data, but the end user too – whether that’s a shipping line, manufacturer or blue-chip retailer. The more detailed real-time data you’re able to provide a client, the greater your competitive advantage and this is where TOPS has the edge.”

Warehouse management system (WMS) innovator SnapFulfil (part of Synergy Logistics) has strengthened its sales team with the appointment of a retail software expert.

Bright Masih (aged 47, from Birmingham) joins as Business Development Manager and has 25 years broad and varied experience with brand leaders such as Tesco, Virgin Media, Primark, Halfords, Wolseley, Bravissimo and Fujitsu Services.

He specialises in helping organisations navigate technology changes via detailed sector expertise and rigorous execution – and most recently tier one retailers looking to improve the delivery experience journey for online customers.

James Wilmer, Head of Sales & Marketing for SnapFulfil, explains: “With his consultative approach to business, Bright is particularly adept at helping wider IT, digital and customer experience directors understand how marginal gains can lead to much bigger wins and efficiencies. He gets Big Data analytics too and as we increasingly look to capitalise on the fast moving retail environment, his particular skill set will add extra impetus and scope to our warehouse management solutions.”
