Sellfware, the software arm of VJ Technology Group, has announced it has received a patent for its core proprietary fulfilment platform, Opus, which gives logistics companies the ability to provide onsite, 24/7 access to essential items. It can be used to transform existing on-site stores, or power stand-alone, staff less mini warehouses with intelligent stock control, multi-point security and a click-and-collect web ordering system to ensure staff and contractors have the supplies. It has been designed to boost operational efficiency and reduce downtime.
The Opus software was originally created to support the company’s award winning iStore product, a unique, onsite procurement solution designed to reduce costs, improve cashflow and productivity, whilst limiting the impact of deliveries on the environment. Following significant Group investment, Opus has now been further developed as an autonomous product management platform including secure access with complete control and security of inventory remotely with robust security measures.
It can help optimise supply chains with 24/7 access to forward stock location, eliminating delays and increased costs due to warehouses being too far from where the stock is needed. It provides an alternative to providing daily replenishment to offices, lockers and engineers’ homes reducing carbon emissions.
Mark Petit, COO at VJT said: “With Opus real-time stock levels are viewable in a dashboard to positively impact cash flow by negating the need to pre-order stock in advance and also removing unnecessary delivery costs and reducing carbon emissions. Essential items can be ordered on-line and collected when needed at forward stock locations with stock levels constantly maintained using automated trigger levels for reordering to reduce unwanted stockouts or delays waiting for deliveries to site or remote workers.”
Andrew Mobbs, CEO at VJT Group, said: “At VJT we are committed to using innovation and technology to bring supply chain value to customers and Opus is the latest initiative to support this. We have worked hard to foster a culture that nurtures this and sits alongside the customer focus which been at the heart of the development of our business in recent years.”
