Delfour announces SmartEnterprise2; WMS suite

Delfour Corporation has introduced SmartEnterprise2, a new release of its 3PL Warehouse Management (WMS) suite that incorporates all of the SmartEnterprise Foundation elements — WarehouseLogic, SmartFreight, SmartYard, SmartDock, Active Desktop and eVista Supply Chain Visibility — and which runs on the Oracle 9iAS database platform.

It also extends the capabilities of Delfour’s 3PL solutions with a new 4PL Logistics Provider tool set.

According to President/CEO Joe Couto, the implementation of SmartEnterprise2 on Oracle 9i offers clients dramatically improved performance and flexibility. Java Servlets, Enterprise Java Beans and Oracle Forms 9i provide a solid foundation for SmartEnteprise2, which is fully Java 2 Enterprise Edition- compliant (J2EE), and the availability of n-Tier technology allows users to distribute application and data resources among multiple servers.

SmartEnterprise2 addresses the needs of asset and non-asset based 4th Party Logistics Providers (4PL) with Smart4Logic, the company’s new tool set for managing 3PL, carrier and customer business relationships. Together, the solutions comprise a complete execution suite, according to Delfour, consisting of warehousing, transportation planning, customer business relationship management and supply chain tools, along with a suite of invoicing, costing and auditing tools.
