MARLOW, England, July 8 /PRNewswire/ --     NetDespatch has helped Nordic Parcel get its global parcels business off
to a flying start. Through its innovative web software, NetDespatch is saving
the company the high cost of implementing in-house based logistics systems.
Based in Tallinn, Estonia, Nordic Parcels selected the software as a service
(SaaS) Velocity International solution to fully automate its booking,
tracking and parcel labelling processes.

With the solution, Nordic Parcel's services are not confined within
country boundaries, allowing customers throughout Scandinavia to access a
high quality international express service with online booking and full
traceability via the company's multilingual website. Customers simply go to
the company's website and log in using their own password to order a
collection, print their parcel labels and track consignments all through the
NetDespatch fully hosted and managed system. Once the customer requests a
collection the system also assigns the appropriate local courier.

Although Nordic Parcel is a new company, Jari Vainio, the firm's CEO, has
a wealth of experience in the parcels logistics market having held senior
positions with companies such as DHL. When setting up Nordic Parcel he knew
that he would need big company IT to support his ambitions for company and
that SaaS was the answer.

"Our aim was to be able to provide a full range of international services
from the start. We would need to be able to work with customers and logistics
partners across the whole of Scandinavia and beyond. This would entail
sophisticated technology. SaaS was going to be important as it would allow us
to gain the benefit of robust logistics IT without the need for heavy
investment in our own in-house systems. I had heard of NetDespatch and I knew
that Velocity International would be ideal for our needs," says Jari Vainio.

The solution integrates seamlessly with Nordic's bespoke enterprise
system. This eradicates data duplication as all information is held centrally
and makes it easy to share accurate information with logistics partners.

"Web-based technology has been a key element in establishing our company.
We have already won some significant business from large electronics
manufacturers and most of our customers are based outside of Estonia. We
think that this is impressive growth considering we only went live with
Velocity International at the beginning of the year. It is a superb system
and I would recommend it to any other company looking to extend its services
internationally," concludes Jari Vainio.
