			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="bajada">Company&#8217;s Partnership With Supply Chain Experts, LogFire, Helps Ripley Reduce Costs, Improve Service Levels, Slash Cycle Times and Increase Efficiency</p>
<p><strong>ATLANTA, GA&#8211;(Marketwire &#8211; June 29, 2010)<em> </em></strong>-  <a title="Our Difference" href="http://www.logfirellc.com/our-differencenuestra-diferencia/" target="_self">LogFire</a>, a global provider of supply chain software and services for retail and consumer goods companies, today announced that <a title="Ripley" href="http://www.logfirellc.com/2009/05/title-ce-in-englishtitulo-ce-en-espanol/" target="_self">Ripley</a> Corp S.A., one of the largest retailers in Chile and Peru, has significantly lowered their logistics costs. This announcement comes on the second anniversary of Ripley&#8217;s new regional distribution center located in Santiago, Chile. Ripley and LogFire launched the 650,000 square foot facility in 2008 in order to facilitate the shipping of 70,000 active SKUs from hundreds of domestic &amp; international vendors to 51 stores.</p>
<p>&#8220;We constantly strive to better satisfy the ever changing, multi-dimensional tastes of our customers both online and in the store,&#8221; commented Gabriel Ortiz, General Manager of Logistics for Ripley. &#8220;Sourcing, stocking and distributing everything from clothing to computers and delivering them, when, where and how the customer wants them would be impossible without a &#8216;best in class&#8217; supply chain to make it all happen.&#8221; With LogFire&#8217;s help, Ripley consolidated three existing distribution centers into the new Santiago facility. These changes have yielded a &#8216;best in class&#8217; distribution operation, while augmenting the throughput, lowering the cost per unit and reaching KPIs consistent with international standards.</p>
<p>Successfully building systems and a warehouse in parallel is no easy task. Neither is finding a local partner with high volume retail supply chain expertise that could easily integrate into a team of construction crews, architects, engineers and more. According to Gustavo Pardo, Ripley&#8217;s CIO and COO, &#8220;LogFire was clearly the right partner to trust with system and process design and software implementation and maintenance. And they delivered &#8212; on time and on budget &#8212; and continue to provide the top notch support we need.&#8221;</p>
<p>According to LogFire CEO Diego Pantoja-Navajas, &#8220;A superior level of <a title="Project management" href="http://www.logfirellc.com/project-management-servicesservicios-de-administracion-de-proyectos/" target="_self">project management</a> experience was crucial to the success of this very complex project. We staged the go-live so Ripley never had to interrupt shipping &#8212; and we were able to help them achieve the business goals they set out to meet from the beginning.&#8221; In fact, Ripley&#8217;s Distribution Center is considered the most highly automated warehouse in South America.</p>
<p>To date, Ripley has been able to reduce their order cycle times, achieve world-class D2C service, inventory accuracy, fulfillment rates and real time management reporting. These areas of improvement have been crucial for its success. &#8220;Most importantly, we have positioned ourselves to better serve our customers and vendors now and in the future,&#8221; Ortiz explains.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A tan solo unos días del término de año, LogFire habló sobre los programas de trabajo que desarrollará a lo largo del año 2010 en el mercado nacional.</p>
<p>Diego Pantoja-Navajas, Presidente de la compañía, dio a  conocer una visión empresarial novedosa y habló del auto desafío que significa promocionar un nuevo modelo de sistema de WMS (Sistema de Gerenciamiento de Centros de Distribución), concebido para aplicarse en todo tipo de empresa.<br />
LogFire,  empresa de consultoría en servicios, especializada en redes logísticas y cadenas de suministro, compartió su visión empresarial que contempla un mundo cada vez más competitivo, cuya globalización ha traspasado todas las fronteras con sus ventajas y desventajas.<br />
La empresa cree en el poder de las ideas cuando hay necesidad de innovar y cambiar actitudes y que ello se facilita con la aceptación objetiva de las realidades del presente. Los hechos muestran que las economías del mundo están en permanente disputa por lograr y mantener un lugar competitivo en la cadena de suministros que abastece los mercados mundiales.<br />
El análisis y la combinación de los elementos antes considerados, han determinado que LogFire seleccione a Chile como la plataforma de lanzamiento regional de su sistema de WMS SaaS  (‘Software as a Service’ en inglés o ‘Software como Servicio’ en español) tecnología de última generación  que puede satisfacer las necesidades tanto de pequeñas, medianas y grandes empresas.<br />
El objetivo principal de LogFire es establecer con las empresas nacionales relaciones de largo plazo, que aproximen a las partes a una especie de sociedad estratégica y no sólo se encuadre en una básica relación comercial.<br />
El sistema WMS SaaS se caracteriza por su probada flexibilidad que mejora sustancialmente la capacidad empresarial para enfrentar las exigencias de un mercado competitivo y en crecimiento, haciendo posible que, entre otros, las empresas puedan lograr lo siguiente:<br />
• Acceder al WMS SaaS a través del Internet desde cualquier lugar del mundo.<br />
• Obtener beneficios económicos: En el corto plazo, porque se reduce la inversión de capital<br />
• En el largo plazo, porque se reducen los costos de operación.<br />
• Eliminar gastos de compra de servidores ya que el software es instalado en los centros de data de LogFire<br />
• Eliminar gastos de instalación y mantención del software porque ambas tareas se ejecutan en los centros de data de LogFire.<br />
• Reducir el tiempo del ciclo de ‘planificación-configuración-puesta en marcha’ de la versión base<br />
• Proporcionar una estrategia de resguardo y control de data con niveles altos de seguridad, escalabilidad y confiabilidad.<br />
• Contar con un servicio de mantenimiento periódico que además introduce nuevas funcionalidades al sistema sin costo adicional permitiendo a cada usuario probar la nueva funcionalidad antes de ponerla en marcha.<br />
• Eliminar los costosos ciclos de upgrade del softaware<br />
• Introducir upgrades al<br />
sistema de manera constante y transparente<br />
• Asegurar la excelencia en el servicio a nuestros clientes en todo momento.<br />
LogFire proyecta para el 2010 introducir a nuestro mercado su innovador sistema WMS SaaS con todo el respaldo, con su probada metodología y las mejores prácticas corporativas, entendiéndose por estas últimas como la mejor tecnología y procesos logísticos disponibles que aseguren el éxito de cada proyecto.<br />
“Nuestro principal objetivo es que nuestros clientes se enfoquen en el desarrollo y crecimiento de su negocio, por que nosotros nos  ocuparemos del funcionamiento seguro y eficiente del sistema WMS SaaS. “ Concluye su Presidente<br />
ACERCA DE LOGFIRE<br />
LogFire tiene presencia en los principales mercados de EEUU y de América Latina, contando con una probada metodología de implementación.<br />
LogFire, cuya casa matriz se encuentra en Atlanta &#8211; EEUU, fue fundada en el año 2006 por un grupo de profesionales especializados y ha logrado capitalizar una exitosa relación de trabajo con empresas líderes en su sector, tales como Ripley, en Chile y Perú, luego Home Depot, Macy’s, Hottopic, Aramark, MCA Logistics y Trader Joe’s, en EEUU.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>LogFire’s <a href="http://www.logfirellc.com/site/leadership-teamequipo-ejecutivo"><strong>experienced professionals </strong></a>have spent decades implementing WMS and solving strategic, technical and operational issues in the warehouse. They have been on the front lines in all aspects of WMS software implementation. From functional and technical design, process design and CRP (conference room prototype) through all project test phases, go-live and post-go-live support.</p>
<p>Unlike many broad-based supply chain consulting firms, our consultants and project managers are not outsourced. They are experienced in-house professionals. And they bring a comprehensive blend of functional, technical, operational and strategic expertise to WMS and warehouse processes. A fresh, proven and cost-effective alternative to the unfocused, one-size-fits-all approach many other firms take with WMS projects.</p>
<p>The results are reduced implementation time, minimized risk of project delays, reliable implementation project plans — and a WMS that’s configured to meet your specific business needs.</p>
<p>If you want unmatched WMS expertise. If you want strong execution. If you want accountability. If you want affordable WMS improvements and results…</p>
<p>You want LogFire.</p>
