***For Immediate Release***
Glovia International Receives Honda Approval
Glovia Successfully Meets Honda of America Manufacturing’s
EDI and Automotive Shipping Requirements Through Partnership with Edibar Systems, Inc.
El
Segundo, Calif., March 8, 2005 — Glovia
International, a subsidiary of Fujitsu (TSE:6702) and a leading provider of
extended ERP solutions for engineer-to-order and high volume manufacturers,
announced today the company successfully obtained Honda of America
Manufacturing’s EDI and shipping software approval for its North American
automotive plants. The approval
demonstrates that Glovia’s enhanced automotive shipping functionality,
including EDI and barcode label capabilities, has met Honda’s requirements as
defined in the 2004 version of Honda’s EDI & Bar Code Label Implementation
Requirements. The approval includes
support for Honda’s current and legacy business processes.
Honda’s EDI and barcode testing is
a multi-phase software development and approval process that includes on-site
testing with Honda personnel prior to approval. The extensive testing and approval process ensures that suppliers
meet Honda’s stringent communication and data integration requirements.
By partnering with Edibar Systems, Inc.,
Glovia was able to integrate Edibar Systems, Inc., Visual-Automated
Release Management System (Visual-ARMS) solution with its extended ERP
solution, glovia.com. The fully
integrated glovia.com Visual-ARMS solution automatically creates the Advanced
Shipment Notices (ASNs) from the original ship schedule and prints all the
barcode labels as well as the associated shipping documents necessary to comply
with Honda’s requirements. The system
notifies suppliers of changes to their inbound shipping requirements, and helps
reduce errors by validating orders to part numbers, supplier identifications,
engineering levels, and shipping destinations.
“The fully integrated glovia.com Visual-ARMS solution also
includes lot and serial control with traceability from the container itself, to
finished products in the container, to major subcomponents in those products,”
stated Young Kim, product line manager for Glovia International. “The detailed information generated by the
solution can then be used to improve quality and provide accountability for
warranty recalls. This puts our
combined solution in a very favorable position as most automotive OEMs will
soon require that their suppliers provide lot and serial control and
traceability information.”
“Receiving Honda approval further demonstrates the value of
our Visual-ARMS solution,” said Wayne Metcalfe, president and CEO of Edibar Systems, Inc.
“By partnering with Glovia to provide a seamlessly
integrated automotive shipping and ERP solution we are able to offer the
automotive industry not only a streamlined method of managing their EDI
communications, but also their accounting,
purchasing, manufacturing, and planning needs.”
“By successfully completing the Honda approval process we have proven that our integrated glovia.com Visual-ARMS solution has the functionality to streamline management of EDI communications between our automotive customers and trading partners in the automotive industry,” stated Yuji Nakasu, president and CEO of Glovia International. “The Honda approval illustrates Glovia’s commitment to provide superior software functionality, integration, flexibility, and customer support for a true end-to-end enterprise solution for automotive suppliers.”
