PULSE , Because you need a supply chain management (SCM) solutions partner whose R&D commitment ensures they are always at the forefront of industry standards and best practice. At PULSE, we place considerable emphasis on continuing R&D. Not in a ,technology for technology's sake' context but rather to ensure that our solutions are always at the forefront of industry standards and best practice. Our aim is to ensure that our applications will always be ready, ahead of time, to meet any future client needs. In short, our goal is to lead not follow. We were, for example, one of the first solution providers globally to deploy an advanced business-to-business internet application offering absolute supply chain visibility. We have similarly led the way in such things as EDI scan packing. And right now, we are regarded as a leading specialist in the use of tools such as voice and RFID. PULSE , Because your supply chain management (SCM) systems must integrate to all your other key applications and they must be able to grow as you grow. Two essential elements that underscore the design of all PULSE solutions are what we term integration and scalability. The first of these means that when a client implements a new SCM application, they will know that this will seamlessly integrate with all the other IT systems that are already in use. Be those general business or ERP software packages or other logistics-specific computer tools. Because of this, users are able to reduce installation times to an absolute minimum, the process of cutting across to the new solution is greatly simplified and the investment in current systems is protected. Such investment protection is also pivotal to the scalability of the PULSE product family. Here, our view that a user should only have to make a financial commitment today to the facilities and features that they need today. Equally, however, they should also be assured that their system can evolve over time.
