Accellos adds labor functions for 3PL enterprise system

   The supply chain executive software developer Accellos said Tuesday it has partnered with business and technology consultancy West Monroe Partners to add West Monroe’s proprietary FLEXdls labor management software solution to Accellos’ existing suite of supply chain and workforce management tools.
   West Monroe’s FLEXdls solution is aimed at enhancing operations management, decreasing costs, improving performance, and reducing absenteeism and turnover. Accellos provides enterprise systems for third party logistics providers, particularly those with multi-client warehouse operations.
   “Consulting with logistics professionals around the world, we saw a growing need to better manage labor costs to stay competitive in the global marketplace,” said Yves Belanger, director in West Monroe’s workforce optimization practice. “We developed FLEXdls with a specific focus on allowing logistics providers to implement labor management principles that deliver productivity improvements that are not only significant but also sustainable.” – Eric Johnson
