Durham-based WMS specialist Indigo strikes deal with Philippines tech group

Durham-based warehousing and logistics provider Indigo Software has announced its first customer win for its Asian subsidiary, Indigo Asia Pacific.

Philippines tech group Ionics EMS Inc., which provides electronic manufacturing services and original design management services, has made a significant investment in Indigo’s Warehouse Management Systems (WMS) to streamline its processes following much international growth.

In addition to implementing Indigo WMS, Indigo’s supply chain consultants will be re-engineering Ionics’ supply chain processes to ensure the company is prepared for its next phase of growth.

This will include implementing perpetual inventory management, enhancing stock receiving processes, increasing stock visibility and implementing industry best practice processes.

Ionics said it expects to see a full return on its capital investment in less than 12 months and achieve significant long-term efficiencies and business improvements.

Securing Ionics as a first customer for Indigo Asia Pacific signals a significant early ‘win’ by the company, with a customer that is renowned for technological innovation; and it demonstrates rapid acceptance by one of the world’s fastest growing marketplaces for Indigo’s strong warehouse management software capabilities, Mike Hill, CEO

Mike, who has been responsible for the firm’s Asian operations, said: “Ionics is an innovative group of companies with ambitious plans for the future. Indigo WMS provides a perfect fit for the warehouse management requirements and we are delighted to be working with them.”

The senior management team at Indigo completed a management buy out of the company, from retiring founder Peter McLane, last November.
