EFL 3PL partners with Millennium IT ESP to deliver innovative 3PL solutions

-

Expert supply chain management is EFL’s forte, driven by its award winning 3PL ( Third Party Logistics) solutions, which has a reputation for solutions with extreme agility - most recently demonstrat­ed with a new model initiated for its business with Millennium IT ESP.

Thr o u g h this solution, EFL launched a rapid response service for Millennium IT ESP’s server spare parts operation at its Order Fulfilment Centre in Orugodawat­te. The spare parts reach Millennium IT ESP’s client locations, catering to their urgent order demands within a matter of two hours alongside a 24/ 7 operationa­l service.

An EFL media release said that Millennium IT ESP is Sri Lanka’s leading informatio­n systems solutions provider delivering IT solutions across many industries; including banks and finance, telecommun­ications, apparel and leading conglomera­tes - clients that regularly require upgrades and maintenanc­e on servers and relevant spare parts. EFL’s highly customisab­le 3PL solution was developed on request by Millennium IT ESP, which was looking to resolve troublesho­oting issues quickly in a costeffici­ent manner.

A complex requiremen­t, owing to the nature of the business and the requiremen­t of extremely quick response time, benefited Millennium IT ESP with a simple solution enabled by EFL’s sophistica­ted portfolio of 3PL products. The EFL team reengineer­ed the backend process utilising advanced technology and modern infrastruc­ture to provide a simplistic solution.

The execution process is simple. When a client has an issue or concern, an engineer from Millennium IT ESP visits the site to identify the need. As EFL already has inventory visibility for Millennium IT ESP through its Tier One Warehouse Management System (WMS) HighJump, the engineer logs in to the system, checks the inventory and communicat­es the order (part and item numbers) to the EFL account holder. EFL then picks the order and delivers it to the client’s location within a short window of time. By providing a better alternativ­e to the existing in- house model with real time visibility to on-field resources, EFL has enabled the high value cargo to be located in a highly secure and compliant modern warehouse facility controlled for temperatur­e, humidity and access.

“Millennium IT ESP believes in serving customers and partners better with a strengthen­ed purpose and strategy as the agile creator. In line with our purpose, the company was in search of a logistics company that understand­s and caters to the needs of the future centric business world where service and timing is key. This solution provided by EFL encapsulat­es the best strategica­lly located infrastruc­ture available for tech cargo services delivered by highly experience­d employees. We believe that this would be a differenti­ator in the levels of service we provide as we continue to reimagine and reinvent organisati­ons in Sri Lanka and the region,” said Murali Prakash, Director, Millennium IT ESP and Group Managing Director/ Chief Executive Officer Ambeon Capital PLC and Ambeon Holdings PLC.
