7 Another bonus from HLUK’s perspective was that the ZEUS® X system from ISGUS fully supports running on virtual architecture such as VMware or Nutanix SAAS clusters unlike many of its competitors who insist on phy- sical hardware being the preferred platform. This from any IT point of view is a real benefit from software or version upgrades, security and pen testing exercises that HLUK conducts on a regular basis. The implementation of the project was managed jointly and, as confirmed by HLUK, very straight forward, un- like so many other projects of this magnitude. “Sure there were those odd moments of head scratching, but nothing was too difficult and often solved quickly and accurately with perfect results; often the ISGUS team found and suggested quicker ways of executing our normal day to day routines with automatic scheduling,” Gary emphasi- ses. Installation of the solution was quick, clean and professi - onally conducted both from the software side and onsite installation of multiple clocking terminals across diffe- rent locations and complex access control, through to the end user training of staff. No doubt, the ability to customise the time recording ter- minals has proven to be an important advantage in deci- sion making. “By customising the clocking terminals ac- cording to our needs it was possible to accept our current clocking cards that have multiple RFID chips and with multiple uses programmed for vending machines, forklift systems and much more. No other provider was able to offer this and saved us thousands in the long run,” Gary summarises. Additionally, Honda Logistics put a special focus on the provider’s ability to deliver prompt, reliable and com - prehensive support services. “Support on our old T&A system was somewhat lacking often taking days for a response then weeks and a cost for any change no mat- ter how small,” Gary says, and continues to assert, “with ZEUS® X, this has now changed with a majority of our re- quirements included in the annual contract that was also refreshingly priced. Most requests or changes have often been dealt within a day or two, and suits our fast paced environment perfectly. In general, the whole experience from planning to imple- mentation and finally the aftercare was a pleasurable ex - perience compared to other projects over the years”, he concludes. For Honda Logistics UK, the ability to have such a robust and intuitive platform such as ZEUS® X seamlessly integ- rated into an infrastructure as complex as HLUK’s is a real benefit and refreshing insight of what a cutting-edge T&A platform can really be like.
