The workings of an intelligent supply chain

A supply chain is a global network capable of providing services to the final customer through a rationalised information flow. It’s this kind of coordination that two supplementary software providers, DDS Logistics and CONEX, have mastered for a common client, QUALITAIR & SEA, transporters and customs agents.When QUALITAIR & SEA Information Systems and Quality Control Manager, Valérie ROUGEOT, and her team chose the DDS Logistics “freight forwarding / agent” solutions, “it was,” she says, ”from the outset with the intention of integrating CONEX’s SOFIchain tool and therefore having a direct liaison with customs”. Added to this, SOFIchain integrates perfectly with Pro Transit Data, the freight forwarding application commercialised by the specialist DDS Logistics.

Olivier SCHULMAN, DDS Logistics’ Commercial Director, launched a strategy in 2003. When he established a technological partnership with CONEX, it was with a view to convincing the customs procedures specialist to interface its “customs clearance” module with Pro Transit Data (PTD). At the heart of QUALITAIR & SEA’s information system, PTD covers all the international transport freight forwarding needs, whether by air, sea or road, for importation and exportation. CONEX’s SOFIchain had to be able to interface with Pro Transit Data without requiring the re-entering of data. The supply chain would then ensure the capture of any data relevant to customs treatment, before distributing it for processing by DDS Logistics software. “Customs is not our profession,” Olivier SCHULMAN recognised.
A successful partnership

The whole system was thus changed dramatically into ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) mode, an information system unifying tool, integrating company functions such as accounting, human resources, production and financial management and so on.Thanks to the companies’ (particularly CONEX) strong desire to succeed, the “dream team” is now perfectly in its stride: “CONEX’s product has contributed enormously to our operations in eliminating the single work station bottleneck: now five declarants work in parallel at Roissy, likewise at our agencies in Orly, Lyon, Marseille or Le Havre. There is also the possibility of preparing declarations at a distance between these agencies,” explains Valérie ROUGEOT proudly.

Computer engineers from the two service providers achieved the feat of real time recuperation of French Customs Services’ SOFI from Pro Transit Data, with automatic updates every 8 minutes.
As data is shared and distributed, each of the QUALITAIR & SEA services works with its corresponding software: « Our customs service uses only SOFIchain from CONEX, and our transport services only DDS Logistics’Pro Transit Data,” states the Information Services Manager with satisfaction.
The moral standard set by this extraordinary partnership is summed up by Alban GRUSON, CEO of CONEX, “The old adage, ‘united we stand, divided we fall, strength through unity’ applies perfectly here. This union perfectly respects the know-how of its partners, because to each man his own trade.”

A word about QUALITAIR


First specialising in international air transport, the company founded in 1986 by Patrick LEGAL has developed greatly since. The subsidiaries MARITEAM (international maritime transport) and ALIS International (Logistics Assistance with Solutions Integration) were created in 1990.

In 1992 a new department called AEROSPACE is established dedicated to logistics in the aeronautics industry, and then in 2000, AUTOLOG for the automobile industry. QUALITAIR became the first French freight forwarder to be awarded the ISO 9002 certification in 1994. Renamed QUALITAIR & SEA in 2001, the transporter became a subsidiary of CMA CGM Logistics in 2004.
