Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, (ANTARA News/PRNewswire-AsiaNet) - Quintiq, a leading provider of Advanced Planning and Scheduling (APS) solutions, today announced the opening of its regional head office for Southeast Asia.
The new office, headquartered in Kuala Lumpur, will enable Quintiq to address the growing market opportunities throughout the region and will support the company's rapidly developing Southeast Asian customer base. It will allow Quintiq to mobilize its deep experience towards meeting the needs of the logistics, workforce, aviation and manufacturing sectors in the region.
The new office is an addition to Quintiq's existing Asia Pacific development centre, also located in Kuala Lumpur. Quintiq has already hired more than 35 people in the last year in the development centre and is set to double this by the end of 2008 reaching 70 employees.
This initiative comes at a promising time for APS in Southeast Asia. Increasing investor confidence in the region and growing demand among developing Asian markets mean that businesses are now facing unprecedented competitive pressures.
A recent market research report indicates that the ASEAN logistics market is expanding rapidly due to growth in consumer markets, liberalisation of trade and low-cost offerings in the region.
Operating in an environment of high expectations tempered by great uncertainty, businesses must make it their priority to ensure maximum agility and resilience throughout their supply chains. Asia still shows a growing demand for specialized logistics services and due to swelling oil prices a need for new cost-saving measures to stay competitive.
"To compete in the emerging flat-world economy, companies in this region must adapt and cope with global market complexities far beyond their traditionally local experience," says Sanjay Nair, Managing Director Southeast Asia at Quintiq. "Quintiq is uniquely capable of providing the advanced technology that is needed to satisfy increasingly rigorous and dynamic customer demands and thrive in complex business environments. Our advanced planning, scheduling and supply chain management solutions support business growth in even the most competitive markets without requiring additional investment in resources, providing our Southeast Asian customers with a vital competitive edge and the opportunity for higher profitability."
"With successful implementations of our planning and scheduling solutions at leading logistics, aviation, metals and manufacturing companies in Southeast Asia and around the world, Quintiq has already laid a firm foundation from which to expand its regional reach" added Coen Verberk, Director Southeast Asia at Quintiq.
