Kewill (LSE: KWL), a leading provider of global solutions for the dynamic supply network, today announced that Elmer's Products, Inc., one of the most trusted names in consumer products, selected Kewill Flagship - an enterprise class, multi-carrier shipping management system to extend the organization's distribution capability.
Using Kewill's API will allow Elmer's to drive all shipping transactions through its SAP® system allowing complete post-shipping visibility and the power to calculate net shipping costs (including discounts) accurately. Elmer's will be rolling out Kewill's enterprise shipping solution on the SAP platform to all four locations to have a unified and centralized system for both domestic and international transactions.
"Kewill allows us to do "desktop shipping" that will help provide us with a consolidated view of freight costs, to include manual non-orders (marketing and promotional material shipments)," said Scott Smith, director of ERP Solutions for Elmer Products, Inc. "Having Kewill integrate to our SAP system is another key factor as our shipping operators will be able to continue to work in an interface they are already familiar with making the order-to-fulfillment process much more efficient."
"Elmer's has a very strong technology strategy to support their distribution and ultimately their brand," said Brian Hodgson, vice president of marketing for Kewill Enterprise Shipping. Elmer's usage will leverage the best of both applications to create a comprehensive distribution solution across the company. Adding Elmer's to our Kewill customer base further extends our leadership in SAP environments.
