Click Part of Oracle Team Chosen to Update Global
Logistics Systems
Click Commerce, Inc. (Nasdaq: CKCM), a leading provider of
on-demand supply chain management solutions, has signed a contract
with the U.S. Air Force to provide Click Commerce Parts, the Company's
service parts optimization and planning solution, for the Air Force's
Expeditionary Combat Support System (ECSS) program. The system will
support the entire Air Force - providing a single, easy-to-use
interface for 250,000 users.
As Click Commerce previously announced, the Air Force's Electronic
Systems Center's Development and Fielding Systems Group awarded the
contract for commercial software supporting the ECSS program to the
software team of Oracle, Click Commerce, and IFS. The Click Commerce
Parts solution will deliver software for Readiness Based Sparing (RBS)
and Advanced Planning and Decision Support (APS) to ensure weapons
systems availability while reducing inventory levels in the Air
Force's service supply chain.
"The mission critical responsibilities of increasing combat
effectiveness make the scope and magnitude of the Air Force's
logistical network one of the most complex supply chains in the
world," said Nancy Koenig, executive vice president of operations for
Click Commerce. "The selection of Click Commerce came after a
multi-year evaluation by the Air Force, and it confirms the
market-leading position of the Click Commerce Parts solution."
"We were called upon to deliver a comprehensive software solution
that would achieve the goals of the ECSS program," said Mark Testoni,
regional vice president, Public Sector Application Sales at Oracle.
"We turned to Click Commerce because they have a robust, integrated,
Readiness Based Sparing and Advanced Planning Solution for the
aerospace and defense market. We look forward to continuing our
partnership with Click Commerce to support the transformation of the
armed forces and enhance the agility of our warfighters."
The Air Force established the ECSS to improve weapons systems
availability by streamlining current Air Force Logistics process. The
system includes Click Commerce's Parts solution, Oracle's Enterprise
Resource Planning software and IFS' Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul
solution. ECSS will replace and perform the functions of more than 500
logistics systems currently used by the Air Force. The new software
will allow commanders at all levels in the logistics chain to automate
the process of gathering logistics data, interpreting that data, and
make effective decisions.
"The Air Force can no longer view logistics processes in terms of
functional areas but as a single integrated logistics enterprise,"
said Col. Thomas Hamilton, ECSS program manager. "ECSS will combine
the hundreds of programs that make up the Air Force logistics process,
which provided only fragmented insight into the logistics chain, into
one integrated and interoperable system."
The Click Commerce service parts optimization and planning
solution is a strategic part of the internal service and aftermarket
businesses of industry leaders such as Lockheed Martin, BAE Systems,
Delta Airlines, Air France, FedEx Express, Honeywell, Aviall,
Goodrich, and the Canadian National Defense. This Web-based solution
supports performance-based logistics (PBL) contracts, which enables
customers to achieve weapon systems availability targets while
maximizing profitability.
Click Commerce expects to realize several million dollars of
license revenues, and a similar amount of maintenance and professional
services revenues, related to the U.S. Air Force contract over several
years. The Company expects to recognize a small percentage of that by
the end of 2006.
