CHICAGO, SYDNEY AND STAMFORD, CT. (April 29, 2007) - CargoWise edi a leading provider of global
forwarding and brokerage software, announced today that IJS Global Inc., the rapidly growing air and ocean
freight forwarder, customs broker and non-vessel operating common carrier, will install Cargowise edi’s awardwinning
ediEnterprise software solution across it’s worldwide network.
The agreement is the largest and most comprehensive in CargoWise edi’s history.
Through ediEnterprise, IJS Global will, for the first time, be able to link its far-flung and expanding logistics infrastructure through a single operating system, rather than using multiple systems that function on a country-bycountry
basis. ediEnterprise will be operational throughout the IJS Global network by year-end.
“Global freight forwarding is changing so rapidly that traditional software delivery mechanisms cannot keep up.
Our global clients are continually driving process efficiencies through their networks whilst meeting demands for
increased service levels and service quality. Doing that without adding costs requires an equally adaptive
applications environment and that’s what we’ve provided” said Richard White, CEO, CargoWise edi.
“This is a milestone for our company. We have said goodbye to legacy software,” said Giorgio Laccona,
Chairman and CEO, IJS Global. “We have developed a rapid response network model that delivers advance
global transparency to our clients, continuing improvements in our levels of service, in terms of speed, accuracy
and efficiency which is a real competitive advantage for our clients.”
“The robust functionality of ediEnterprise enables my team to implement a global project to a new customer in a
matter of weeks,” said Robin Dimes, CIO, IJS Global. “This was a critical factor in our decision-making process
considering our rapid growth trajectory and the dynamic information needs of our customer base.”
“IJS Global’s decision to adopt a common global adaptive framework to anchor their growth speaks for itself.
ediEnterprise as their I.T. platform validates that decision.” said Micky Mirchandani, Vice President, Business
Development Americas, CargoWise edi. “Besides the technology edge that our platform gives them, we believe
our reputation as a company that listens to our customers and partners with them as they grow was a big part of
the decision.”
