Fjord S.p.A. Goes Live with SSA ERPLX to Manage Manufacturing and Distribution Processes

MILAN – 27th July, 2006 – SSA Global (NASDAQ: SSAG), a leading global provider of enterprise business software and services, today announced that Fjord S.p.A., a leading manufacturer of salmon and other fishing products based in Italy, has successfully implemented  SSA ERPLXTM to manage their manufacturing and distribution processes.  Fjord S.p.A. manages its production process through modern facilities in Italy and subsidiaries in Norway and Chile. More than 3,000 tons of salmon and other fishing products are processed and distributed each year. Fjord S.p.A. chose SSA ERPLX for its scalability and for its ability to support multi currency, multi site, multi language, and dynamic weights and measures operations.
 

Before the SSA ERPLX implementation Fjord S.p.A.’s manufacturing process was not integrated into the IT system, resulting in high manufacturing and distribution costs together with limited product traceability. SSA ERPLX will help Fjord S.p.A. improve visibility into its supply chain and reduce costs.
  Beniamino and Antonio Pellin, sons of the founder and CEO of Fjord, said: “With the implementation of SSA ERPLX we will improve the manufacturing and distribution processes across the different company departments and business units. Furthermore, the SSA Global solution will help us to reduce costs and to have a better reporting system.”
 Fjord S.p.A. has successfully implemented the Logistics, Distribution and Finance modules of the SSA ERPLX solution. They have plans to complete the Manufacturing module integration before the end of September 2006.
