Camerons and TransLogix Celebrates Ten Year Partnership
Sydney, 18 May 2010
Decade long partnerships between technology providers and
customers are rare. But the ten year collaboration between
transport and logistics solutions provider, TransLogix, and
national logistics company, Glen Cameron Group, has seen both
organisations rise to the top of their areas of the Australian
transport and logistics industry.
Celebrating the anniversary of the relationship, TransLogix CEO,
Anselm Waterfield, acknowledged the role played by a high calibre
customer like the Glen Cameron Group in the ongoing strength of
TransLogix as a software developer and service provider: "Camerons
is a great partner and a great client. They are serious customers
and keen to investigate all options, working closely with us to
push the envelope."
The two organisations have worked together, always with an eye to
the future, to build industry-specific functionality into the
TransLogix Transport Management suite for greater efficiency and
commercial advantage
"Glen Cameron and his management team continue to move fast and
smart to keep in front of what is a very competitive game,"
Waterfield said.
Glen Cameron, CEO of the Glen Cameron Group, described how
TransLogix has become critical to the Group's active growth plans:
"When we went out to tender ten years ago we were asking for a lot
of things that were out of left field at the time. Things like
mobility, RF and warehousing functionality were not
commonplace.
"We have been the catalyst for a lot of TransLogix's development
and the first to use many of their modules.
"The TransLogix Sapphire suite has kept us at the cutting edge so
that we can pre-empt customer expectations and deliver to their
requirements.
"Wherever the next industry pressure comes from we know TransLogix
will be the first in there to find a solution. We have a great
relationship which we'll continue to foster," Cameron said.
The Glen Cameron Group has grown to become a multimillion-dollar
national operator with local trucking, couriers, warehousing, 3rd
Party Logistics and interstate transport. It services some of the
largest and most diverse customers across Australia.
The Melbourne-based carrier has long been recognised for its
commitment to advanced and integrated customer services. It is no
accident that, among its many accolades, GCG has won the Australian
Freight & Logistics Award four times.
This impressive performance reflects "the combined strength of our
business philosophy and ethics and the support of sound business
practices and system processes," Cameron said.
TransLogix now boasts an Australian and New Zealand customer base
in excess of 350 clients and 4000 users in small family operated
businesses through to large, publicly listed multi-depot transport
companies.
