KEWILL ACQUIRES ASSETS OF POINTANDSHIP SOFTWARE, INC.
Adds Cloud-Based Shipping and Expense Management to Market-Leading Solution Set
December 19, 2011 -- Chelmsford, MA – Kewill, Inc. (LSE: KWL) today announced acquisition of the Shipping Expense Management System (SEMS™) from Pointandship Software, Inc. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed. With this asset acquisition Kewill adds cloud-based software for both parcel shipping and expense management to its already market-leading portfolio of shipping (parcel, LTL, TL) solutions.
News Facts:
- With the SaaS-based SEMS solution Kewill provides multi-carrier desktop shipping to large and mid-sized companies. These organizations typically have significant, but distributed package shipping requirements but lack an in-house infrastructure to manage the shipping process. The result is an often considerable and poorly understood expense.
- SEMS will join Kewill’s portfolio of shipping products that include Kewill Flagship™, a multi-carrier, multi-facility, high volume solution, and Kewill Clippership™, a multi-carrier solution for the SMB segment. SEMS enables Kewill to offer a cloud-based desktop shipping capability for this important market.
- As with all Kewill products, SEMS was designed and built on a foundation of deep domain expertise and shipping experience.
- SEMS gives businesses of all sizes unrivaled control over their outbound shipping, inbound tracking, billing and reporting capabilities. This end-to-end shipping solution offers express, ground, freight and courier services through all major carriers, and unifies every aspect of the users’ shipping needs into a single, cloud-based application. The result is reduced shipping expenses and improved operational efficiency.
Supporting Quote:
- “We are very pleased to be adding Pointandship’s SEMS to our range of shipping products”, said Michael Dolan, Chief Operating Officer for Kewill Inc.. “With this SaaS solution we are able to support the largest enterprises as well as the small and mid-size business markets (SMB) with both premise - as well as cloud-based shipping solutions. This enables us to not only offer scalable choices for the market but also supports our rapidly expanding VAR, reseller, and partner channels.”
