Sigma Informatique renews its confidence in PTV Logistics

“Our collaboration with PTV Logistics began in 2011,” points out Benjamin Bertin, Product Marketing Manager at Sigma Informatique. After an update in 2017, we are now renewing our partnership for several of our transport solutions." As a software publisher, integrator and host of digital solutions, Sigma Informatique is a pioneer in the adoption of responsible digital. “This singular positioning manifests itself in the promotion of thoughtful use of digital technology, through eco-design and the construction of an impact-based offering,” explains Benjamin Bertin.

Gains of 8% to 15

Faced with growing demand for Green Logistics, Sigma has enhanced its Advantage Supply offering, a TMS for shippers, and its iCopitole ERP, dedicated to energy distributors for fuel delivery, with PTV Logistics. “We have also added an additional PTV brick to iCopitole Field Service, which supports companies in the installation and repair of heating equipment,” adds Jacques Hillion, Project Manager at Sigma. Thanks to these developments, Sigma can fine-tune the parameterization of its solutions according to the specific needs of its customers. For example, we can now integrate precise delivery time slots, optimize the number of loads per round, or indicate which operator should travel to each customer," explains Jacques Hillion. The level of personalization is much greater than before. By integrating the latest versions of PTV Logistics APIs, Sigma expects to achieve productivity gains of between 8% and 15%, thanks in particular to tour optimization, address geocoding, route calculation and map display.

A solid partnership

With its modular, highly configurable catalog, PTV Logistics enables Sigma to offer the best solutions to its customers. “In addition to the expertise and availability of PTV's teams, as well as their solid reputation, the quality of our discussions with their staff convinced us to continue our collaboration,” adds Benjamin Bertin. In a few months' time, Sigma will also be integrating automatic scheduling into iCopitole Field Service, in response to demand from companies with a high volume of interventions. The aim is to automate the scheduling of several thousand service calls per month, while taking into account various business and customer constraints. We're also planning to deploy route optimization on our Advantage Supply TMS," says Benjamin Bertin. One of our shipper customers, with its own transport fleet, needs to improve the capabilities of its IT tool."
