ADS Logistics’ LoMaS® supply chain management application provides EDI functionality for
Arcelor International America connecting their service providers and customers
Homewood, IL -- ADS Logistics (ADS), a national provider of integrated logistics services to the metals industry, announced today the successful implementation of its supply chain management system, LoMaS®, as the engine for EDI connectivity for Arcelor International America.
Arcelor International America sought an efficient, cost effective solution to connecting their transportation and processing service providers, many of whom do not have EDI capabilities, in order to collect real-time shipment information for their customers. ADS’ LoMaS® provides a customized solution that captures shipment information utilizing a variety of data collection options including traditional EDI messaging, interactive Internet screens to capture data via uploaded spreadsheet files or direct data entry, facsimile transmissions and e-mail communications. Material position is continually updated and shipment information is made available to the end-user customer or any transportation service provider via formalized EDI messages, Excel spreadsheets, or simple email.
“ADS Logistics was able to quickly provide the connectivity with our customers, without the need for Arcelor to increase their IT resources,” stated Rolande Gustarimac, Senior Manager IS/IT for Arcelor International America Inc. “For our customers and service providers without traditional EDI functionality, ADS allowed us to connect through everyday business tools, providing a cost effective solution for all participants.”
LoMaS® is an application suite that pulls together the various components of supply chain information, creating a “glass –pipeline”. Together with electronic data interchange links to customers, LoMaS® offers customers a comprehensive approach to managing all aspects of their supply chain. LoMaS® can be operated independent of, or intimately integrated with, a customer’s existing technology platform, based on their preference, and can be customized to meet the customer’s individual needs.
