information technology

Innovation and cutting edge technology underpin the group's IT strategy and a detailed understanding of requirements allows us to meet and exceed our clients' expectations of systems and provision of information.

Over recent years the group has significantly invested in technologies, with the development of various systems and network capabilities. This investment has allowed us to develop, in conjunction with several business partners, leading technologies which are now filtering through to new and existing clients and radically altering and enhancing the way in which we work and share business information with our clients.

Lloyd Fraser has developed several best in class supply chain technology applications, ranging from warehouse and transport management systems to complex supply chain management tools.

Transport Management Systems

Lloyd Fraser provides a bespoke application to handle the daily transport movements of several key customers. This application provides clients with vital statistical information regarding daily movements to their end customers.

The application allows end to end visibility of the transport activity from planning through to real time data capture. Our TMS has provided the following benefits to our client operations:

  • Improved customer service through access to real time and historical information
  • Instant access to key business information
  • Access to electronic proof of delivery bolt on

Accessibility is via an encrypted connection and hosted on high availability and 24/7 supported servers.

Warehouse Management System

Lloyd Fraser has selected a market sector leader, AquiTec International, to provide the state of the art SCM WarehouseTM.

The system is used to manage the flow of goods from suppliers to our clients' end customers and integrates assignment release and scheduling, RF task interleaving and labour management. We have the capability to accept a variety of EDI formats from both suppliers and clients to manage real time information on the supply chain function.

The solution is based upon web technologies which provide greater visibility for our warehouse activities to management and clients alike, by allowing access to key management information and dash board functionality. The solution has provided the following benefits to our clients:

  • Improved visibility of real time warehouse stock positions
  • Improved management of inbound warehouse movements
  • Ability to review specific tasks and check status
  • Fully RFID enabled
  • Fully functional radio frequency task interleaving
  • Fully functional labour management standards

Accessibility is via a secure web portal and hosted on high availability and 24/7 supported servers.

Management Report Systems

Lloyd Fraser has developed and uses several applications for the provision of management reports, ranging from key financial data to daily operational stats, by using data mining techniques embedded into all of our applications. Our applications have been developed to provide an ability to match the requirements of our clients and reports formats produced to match their expectations.

Our applications are used to produce operational statistics reports to daily stock positions to our clients, via either secure web portals or standard formats.

Accessibility is via an encrypted connection and hosted on high availability and 24/7 supported servers.

Other Systems
Time & Attendance
Lloyd Fraser has recently developed an in house time and attendance system, Gatehouse T&A, to provide a robust and reliable cost effective solution to many of our smaller sites.

The system is web based, running from a small local server which allows the site management access to their information instantly.
