Summer greetings from the CEO

09.07.2009 At PipeChain we’re involved in lots of strategic marketing initiatives that will firmly establish our company in the international arena. We are working with several spheres for growth, focusing on the cooperation between:

- Customers who need support for the global rollout of PipeChain to make their supply chain more efficient.

- Suppliers of large global or smaller local ERP systems for setting up standardized ”foundations” for our processes within traditional order management and automatic replenishment (VMI) for both suppliers and customers. Recently, we have set up our process with Microsoft Dynamics AX and NAV. We can now efficiently offer the extra value our services bring to companies throughout the world who use Microsoft Dynamics.

- Offer PipeChain to suppliers of global services for managing electronic business communication between companies. PipeChain is perfect as an add-on service for monitoring, using deviation management, graphic alarms, email alarm, and identifying risks for shortcomings in the supply chain. It provides support for planning, execution, monitoring and follow-up of new supply chain processes, such as VMI.

The processes of each sphere are based on PipeChain’s three step model for processes that create added value: monitor and automate current processes – share more information and find out where you really have a problem in the supply chain – share responsibilities and introduce new processes for increased cooperation and added value in the supply chain.

There are many exciting initiatives in progress at PipeChain right now, such as company acquisition, setting up in Denmark, developing our customer relations and our software platform, and several other activities where we use the current economic climate for future investment.

Summer is here and I’d like to take the opportunity to thank our customers for the confidence you place in us and send a summer greeting with the hope of seeing a positive change in the economic outlook in the very near future. Use the summer to recharge your batteries.

With best wishes
Hans Berggren
President & CEO
