Fujitsu Launches Global Sales of glovia.com v9 ERP Solution
Tokyo and El Segundo, CA, Oct. 12, 2006 -- Fujitsu Limited and its subsidiary Glovia International Inc. today announced the availability of glovia.com v9, the latest version of their glovia.com ERP solution for manufacturing and assembly businesses. Sales of the new version have begun in Japan, the US, Europe and Asia.
The new glovia.com v9 offers enhanced functionality based on a variety of insights obtained through first-hand implementation in Fujitsu Group factories in Japan and overseas. It delivers detailed production planning with hourly increments, synchronized production based on customer demand, improved operability, and enhanced visualization and optimization of company-wide supply and demand schedules.
These features are designed to support the global expansion, speed, and agility of customer businesses, contributing to their enhanced competitiveness.
In recent years, against a backdrop of increasing business globalization, accelerating business speed, and proliferating customer needs, there has been an increasing need for manufacturers to respond with speed and flexibility to changes in demand, to match supply with demand in real time, and to optimize demand and supply schedules company-wide, including affiliate operations.
To address these needs, Fujitsu and Glovia International have released glovia.com v9. The new version enables detailed manufacturing management plans to be drafted by using hourly increments to synchronize demand, planning, manufacturing, and the procurement. It also enables multiple sales and production sites, including overseas sites that utilize a variety of IT systems to be connected together, thereby making it possible to visualize and optimize company-wide demand and supply schedules. This delivers enhanced business agility by enabling customers to flexibly synchronize their production with changes in demand, thereby contributing to enhanced agility.
In addition, an improved user interface enables simplified operation, protects against input errors and reduces input time.
In addition to carrying out package ERP solution sales in the US, in order to meet customer needs for short-term delivery, low-cost deployment, and reduced operational management burden, as of October 2, Glovia Services Inc., a subsidiary of Glovia International, has been offering GSINNOVATE, a Software as a Service (SaaS) solution for small and mid-sized manufacturers based on glovia.com v9.
