Ajillus sees the growing use of parcel and air freight transportation services to continue as e-commerce becomes widespread. Upon investigation into the available tools for deploying enterprise-class Internet transportation solutions, we found TanData's tools to be best suited to the unique requirements of this growing market."

By encapsulating nearly twenty years of their shipping experience into a component-based, Internet-architected product, TanData has delivered a significant solution that Ajillus looks to leverage. TanData's support for E-commerce packages from Microsoft, iCat, InterWorld, INTERSHOP, and Oracle and their certification for Microsoft BackOffice interoperability makes it an even more compelling deployment tool for Ajillus. Our TanData relationship will enhance our capabilities in delivering robust, leading edge transportation solutions in the Internet supply chain marketspace.", Murphy added.
