case study
transferring  freight forwarding systems from
germany to the UK

Successful project management transferring freight forwarding systems from Germany to the UK.

This project resulted from the acquisition of a major UK freight forward operation by a German competitor.

Common systems were required to harmonise operational management throughout the group. The resulting project involved considerable communication, negotiation and project management skills coupled with technical expertise and flexibility.

This six month project, three spent on-site in Germany, resulted in the successful migration of business processes and also the German language IBM S38 system to a UK based IBM AS400 operating in English.
