CDC Software and OnAsset Intelligence Partner to Bring Real-Time Freight Intelligence to the Cloud

SHANGHAI, ATLANTA, & DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- CDC Software Corporation (NASDAQ: CDCS), a hybrid enterprise software provider of on-premise and cloud deployments, and OnAsset Intelligence Inc., a leading provider of machine-to-machine (M2M) wireless asset tracking, sensing, and control solutions, announced today an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) partnership where OnAsset will utilize CDC Supply Chain technology to more easily mash-up real-time wireless monitoring and sensor data with data from enterprise systems to create greater visibility, security and business intelligence during the movement and transportation of high-value freight.

As part of the OEM partnership, CDC Supply Chain technology will be integrated with OnAsset’s Vision Platform™ to enable customers with rapid development of new business processes that leverage data from remote wireless SENTRY™ devices and other enterprise systems. The Vision Platform together with SENTRY devices provides a managed service for real-time visibility of high-value freight during all modes of transportation including land, sea, and air travel. This application leverages business intelligence information from enterprise systems to help companies optimize their view of the supply chain, associate important information to mobile goods and assets, and achieve greater security during distribution.

“Real-time asset management is a natural extension of running a smooth supply chain,” said Bruce Cameron, president of CDC Software. “We believe the combination of CDC’s technology with OnAsset’s products offer companies worldwide a compelling solution on the cloud to mitigate the risks that occur during distribution between the warehouse and the final destination of products, as well as in-air visibility, which is truly a differentiator in the market.”

“Our managed service platform helps customers extend their global positioning system (GPS) and real-time freight security programs to further optimize their view of the supply chain by integrating new data feeds that incorporate specific business information unique to client operations,” says Adam Crossno, president and CEO of OnAsset. “Working with CDC provides our customers with interoperability to a broad supply chain application platform.”

Trends indicate that more and more enterprises are using technology to improve risk management operations and to secure logistics as global security concerns increase over cargo in transit. Real-time freight and package tracking enables companies to provide quality assurance of conditions throughout the transportation process including package integrity, chain of custody, and faster time to react when cargo is compromised or is in a possible theft scenario. The active markets in real-time freight monitoring and tracking include high-value pharmaceuticals and life sciences, consumer electronics and computing equipment, consumer packaged goods (CPG), and general high value like manufacturing parts and heavy equipment.
