Morvan Fils Transit is a company established in 1896 in Saint-Malo, Brittany, specializing in freight shipments to the Channel Islands and the United Kingdom. In 2002, the company joined the CONDOR LTD group. Today, it employs 18 people, forming a responsive team with strong expertise in both the market and the local culture.
To simplify the daily work of his teams, Xavier HAURIEZ, Director of Morvan Fils Transit, chose AKANEA software solutions in 2014:
- Akanea WMS Xtent for warehouse management,
- Akanea TMS Freight Forwarding for transport operations management,
- Akanea DOUANE, the customs clearance software.
A solution for managing the entire supply chain
« The key strength of AKANEA is having an integrated software that allows us to manage transport, warehousing, and customs, since our company is also an RDE. With AKANEA, we benefit from interfaces between the different modules, which enables us to manage the entire supply chain and to have a real-time view of the progress of each file and transport. »
— Xavier Hauriez, Director
The interoperability of AKANEA software allows all Morvan Fils Transit teams to communicate and share information seamlessly, throughout the supply chain.
1. From quotation to unloading docks
« I prepare a commercial offer that is sent to the client by email. Once accepted, I validate the offer in the system and create a file. The file incorporates the information recorded in the quotation and is sent to our partner for pickup and delivery to our Saint-Malo docks. »
— Christophe, Sales Manager at Morvan Fils Transit
The information entered into a file in Akanea TMS Freight Forwarding is automatically transmitted to Akanea WMS Xtent.
2. From docks to customs clearance
The file created in Akanea TMS Freight Forwarding is transferred to Akanea WMS Xtent so that operators can take charge of the goods. The progress of operations is updated automatically in the file.
« After unloading and reloading our trailer, I can validate the file in Xtent. The file will then be regenerated in Akanea TMS Freight Forwarding. »
— Gaëtan, Operator at Morvan Fils Transit
3. From customs to invoicing
The documents accompanying the goods are stored in the Electronic Document Management (EDM) system within Akanea TMS Freight Forwarding, including the shipping invoice and packing list.
« Through Akanea DOUANE, I carry out export clearance. Once the declaration is finalized and validated, we obtain a customs declaration number, which is automatically uploaded along with documents such as the SAD and the EAD, into Akanea TMS Freight Forwarding. »
— Marine Tanguy Chauvin, Customs Operator at Morvan Fils Transit
An invoice is then generated and sent directly to the client by email.
