The Challenge
Synergy Logistics, a software house specializing in warehouse management technologies and solutions, recognized the increasing importance of e-commerce and the subsequent rise in the number of daily transactions. They needed a cloud provider who could help them exceed their customers’ requirements in a rapidly evolving industry. The company sought a cost-effective SaaS solution that could support highly transactional businesses while maintaining on-premise levels of security and availability. The new logistics demands of next- or same-day delivery required a cloud infrastructure that provided the agility and flexibility needed to manage these demands.
About The Customer
Synergy Logistics is a software house that specializes in warehouse management technologies and solutions. For over 40 years, their systems have been powering the warehousing operations of some of the world's most successful companies. Synergy was one of the first companies to recognize the potential of cloud technology as a platform for a best-in-breed warehouse management system. In 2007, they designed and released SnapFulfil, an end-to-end warehouse management application now used in warehouses throughout Europe and America. Recognizing the increasing importance of e-commerce, Synergy Logistics sought a relationship with a cloud provider who could help them exceed their customers’ requirements in a rapidly evolving industry.
The Solution
Synergy Logistics established a relationship with iland (now 11:11 Systems) after evaluating their security, availability, reliability, and service levels. The [11:11] Cloud platform was chosen for its on-demand flexibility, security, and cost-effectiveness. The platform's 100% availability SLA and advanced security, including data sovereignty across the [11:11] data centers and ISO 27001 certification, helped SnapFulfil meet the needs of customers in highly regulated industries such as pharmaceuticals. The [11:11] Cloud platform's flexible resource-based pricing structure enabled SnapFulfil to expand their cloud resources as their customer needs grew, without over-investing in cloud capacity that could remain unused.

Improving Production Line Efficiency with Ethernet Micro RTU Controller
Moxa was asked to provide a connectivity solution for one of the world's leading cosmetics companies. This multinational corporation, with retail presence in 130 countries, 23 global braches, and over 66,000 employees, sought to improve the efficiency of their production process by migrating from manual monitoring to an automatic productivity monitoring system. The production line was being monitored by ABB Real-TPI, a factory information system that offers data collection and analysis to improve plant efficiency. Due to software limitations, the customer needed an OPC server and a corresponding I/O solution to collect data from additional sensor devices for the Real-TPI system. The goal is to enable the factory information system to more thoroughly collect data from every corner of the production line. This will improve its ability to measure Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) and translate into increased production efficiencies. System Requirements • Instant status updates while still consuming minimal bandwidth to relieve strain on limited factory networks • Interoperable with ABB Real-TPI • Small form factor appropriate for deployment where space is scarce • Remote software management and configuration to simplify operations

How Sirqul’s IoT Platform is Crafting Carrefour’s New In-Store Experiences
Carrefour Taiwan’s goal is to be completely digital by end of 2018. Out-dated manual methods for analysis and assumptions limited Carrefour’s ability to change the customer experience and were void of real-time decision-making capabilities. Rather than relying solely on sales data, assumptions, and disparate systems, Carrefour Taiwan’s CEO led an initiative to find a connected IoT solution that could give the team the ability to make real-time changes and more informed decisions. Prior to implementing, Carrefour struggled to address their conversion rates and did not have the proper insights into the customer decision-making process nor how to make an immediate impact without losing customer confidence.
