Ramco Systems, a provider of cloud-based software, has announced that it will partner with Indonesia’s leading logistics firm PT. Cipta Krida Bahari (CKB Logistics) to digitize its supply chain.
CKB, which offers supply chain solutions for industries such as heavy equipment, oil and gas, and construction, provides multimode freight forwarding services in multiple areas, such as project logistics, customs brokerage, and port management.
According to a statement, CKB has rolled out the first wave of ‘Ramco ERP for Logistics’, a digital solution that is expected to save costs and boost the efficiency of its warehouse operations.

Ramco’s multi-functional ‘Logistics Suite’ will also be used by CKB to manage finances, rating and billing, assets and transportation.
In addition to this, the mobile-enable platform offers auto-picking configuration and end-to-end resource management, allowing CKB to track shipments for more effective planning processes.
It will see PTP utilize advanced smart technologies, such as artificial intelligence and Chatbots, which will help it meet growing customer demand… @PTPMalaysia @RamcoSystems #PTIDaily #Ports #AI #SmartTech https://t.co/EUg90IzD2O

P. R. Venketrama Raja, Chairman of Ramco Systems, added: “An ERP built for logistics service providers (LSPs) was an unchartered market opportunity.
