AEB and B-EN-G bring software solutions for supply chain management to Japanese manufacturers in Southeast Asia

Singapore
– August 17,  2016

Japanese manufacturers in Southeast Asia looking to optimize their
supply chains can now rely on the expertise and solutions of German software
provider AEB and Japanese IT consultancy & solution provider Toyo Business
Engineering (B-EN-G).

The collaboration is a result of growing demands affecting the daily
operations of manufacturing businesses, i.e. cost pressure, customer
satisfaction and compliance with government regulations. Software
solutions are a cost-efficient way for manufacturers to scale their production
while meeting more complex requirements from various stakeholders.

AEB and B-EN-G offer businesses in ASEAN a leading software solution designed to manage supply chains
and international trade: ASSIST4. The comprehensive software suite, which integrates
seamlessly with existing ERP systems, offers functionality to control
cost, achieve better visibility, and manage the import and export of goods.

ASSIST4 was developed in Germany and is the result of more than 37 years
of expertise in supply chain and global trade.  More than 5,000 customers worldwide are already
using the software to standardize and automate their operations. The software
has received multiple awards and important certifications.

Frans Kok, GM of AEB Asia Pacific comments: “We are keen to have a conversation with manufacturers about their
operations in order to identify potential bottlenecks that might keep them from
expanding. Together with B-EN-G our mission is to eliminate inefficiency and
enable businesses to grow.”

In early June, both companies joined forces in organizing a roadshow attended
by logistics and supply chain heads from various manufacturing companies. Participants
were informed of tools and methods available to optimize their supply chains as
well as new technologies with severe impact on supply chains in all parts of
the world.

Ken
Kitai, Senior Executive Officer, Global Business Promotion Division of Toyo
Business Engineering Corporation, about the collaboration: “We strive to offer a wide range of solutions to meet the various needs
in the manufacturing industry. AEB’s solutions for end-to-end logistics and
global trade are the perfect addition to B-EN-G’s existing portfolio of
software solutions for global manufacturing execution and operational
excellence .“

The collaboration is promoted by the Singapore subsidiaries of both
companies: AEB Asia Pacific and Toyo Business Engineering Singapore. Manufacturers
in Singapore and Thailand are the first markets to benefit from the active
approach that the companies are taking in Southeast Asia.  Singapore, the regional no. 1 logistics hub,
often serves as a base for manufacturers who want to centrally manage their
supply chains across multiple countries in Asia. Thailand forms the heart of
Japanese non-domestic production industry since the beginning of FDI flowing
into Asia.

ASSIST4 suite is now available for all manufactures in Southeast Asia.
