Gothenburg, Sweden (PRWEB) October 20, 2004 -- Paper manufacturer Billerud Karlsborg AB has chosen CAPS? on a Linux® platform to streamline its logistics process.
CAPS? is STRAKT?'s flexible integration and information platform with tailored applications to support different workflow processes. The platform secures structured real-time information handling and offers an efficient, secure and documented communication between both internal and external people and systems. The applications include the business rules that define and support the actual processes.
"We have looked for a system to increase the efficiency of our logistics process for about 10 years, and we are pleased to have found it in CAPS?", says Mikael Häggström, Systems Engineer at Billerud. "We need a system tailored to our specific workflow needs and dynamic in nature, since the delivery of our products is very much a dynamic process", he continues.
"We expect CAPS? to increase the overall efficiency of the process and to significantly reduce the need for paper document filing. The real-time features of CAPS? are specifically valuable for instance for last-minute changes in shipment."
"Billerud's logistics process is one of those event-driven processes where changes need to be monitored closely, that CAPS? has been built to support", says Per-Åke Olsson, CEO of AB Strakt.
"Tailoring products to specific needs is generally considered development intensive, and thus a costly endeavor. Building or tailoring CAPS? applications takes little development time, enabling us to offer a customized product for a very competitive price. STRAKT? is committed to help organizations such as Billerud to automate workflow and increase efficiency in a cost efficient way."
The CAPS? server is available on Linux® and Microsoft® Windows®. Billerud chose the Linux® version. ?The last few years, we have closely been monitoring the progress of Linux® and Linux® applications. In our evaluation of CAPS?, we judged that the Linux® platform was the best choice for us?, says Mikael Häggström Systems Engineer at Billerud Karlsborg AB.
