Since 1988, Woodland International Transport has provided a wide range of clients with transport and freighting services with a scope that spans the entire globe and a customer-focused, client-specific approach where, in their own words, “the client comes first.” With supply chain management, I.T. solutions, inventory management and distribution services among their portfolio of operations, Woodland International aims to be recognised as the foremost independent freight forwarder within the U.K.
In late 2004, Orchid Software became aware of Woodland’s need for an Intranet. An organisation with such a wide geographical base of operations was a prime candidate for the benefits that an Intranet can offer, with communication and collaboration unrestricted by time or place.
Sharing information quickly became the focus of Woodland’s Intranet operations, with static content being a large part of their information management strategy, and the decision was taken to implement Orchidnet for this purpose. Orchidnet’s standard functionality provided Woodland with all the tools necessary to share information quickly and effectively, while potential for expansion was also included in the Woodland package, allowing for seamless integration of future applications should a change of focus occur.
Woodland International Transport’s Intranet was also one of the first versions of Orchidnet to incorporate customizable homepage graphics, a feature that proved to be such a success that it was incorporated as standard in all future installations.
The installation went live in January 2005. |
