ViewPoint Logistics Software
For over four decades, Maves has been delivering solutions that manage the storage, handling and distribution of materials in the Supply Chain. Maves' flagship product, ViewPoint Logistics, was designed specifically for third-party logistics services providers.
Centered around their warehouse management component, ViewPoint Logistics also offers robust functionality in transportation management, demand planning, vendor-managed inventory, order fulfillment, event management and visibility and inventory management. ViewPoint’s WMS tools help increase operational efficiency, control costs and improve customer service. It integrates seamlessly with their TMS module to provide optimized tracking and analysis. The financial management side of the system was built to accommodate the needs of a multi-client 3PL.
ViewPoint Logistics supports Radio Frequency enabled processes and is compatible with nearly all handheld technology. Data on your 3PL operations can be delivered via reports and charts in real time with their HighViews and Action Grids. The spreadsheet-style interface provides a complete view for monitoring, organizing, analyzing and manipulating large quantities of data. Their electronic document handling feature helps companies transfer documents from a single source.

They have excellent service and people. We've been with them over 15 years. The product has been upgraded and revamped based on current 3PL industry needs. They have great tools built into the system and offer great visibility to key information.

The software is very comprehensive and handles our business needs well. The onsite and ongoing training provided is thorough and easy to understand. I especially like the Highview programming; it puts information at your fingertips with just a couple clicks of the mouse.

There seems to be an overwhelming amount of custom work required. Any custom work requires more money. You really need to over-budget by almost double what you anticipated. There really is not much you can do internally to modify programs even slightly to fit into your business.

Really look at each of your customers to be sure what you need to be provided by the system exists or will be built into your quote. We looked at our typical business practices, but it is the little nuances that end up adding to the cost of the system. Map out your business flow and EDI needs as well; this will help.
