OnAsset Intelligence has joined hands with CDC Software to form an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) partnership. According to this partnership, OnAsset CDC Supply Chain technology will more easily mash-up real-time wireless monitoring and sensor data.

The managed service platform from OnAsset helps the customers extend their global positioning system (GPS) and real-time freight security programs to further optimize their view of the supply chain.

Facilitating customers with rapid development of new business processes to leverage data from remote wireless SENTRY devices and other enterprise systems, CDC Supply Chain technology is expected to be integrated with OnAsset’s Vision Platform as part of the OEM partnership. During all modes of transportation including land, sea, and air travel, the Vision Platform together with SENTRY devices provides a managed service for real-time visibility of high-value freight.

“We believe that real-time asset management is a natural extension of running a smooth supply chain,” said Bruce Cameron, president of CDC Software (News - Alert). “We also believe that the combination of CDC’s technology with OnAsset’s products could offer companies worldwide with a compelling solution on the cloud to help mitigate the risks that occur during distribution between the warehouse and the final destination of products, as well as in-air visibility.”

To help companies optimize their view of the supply chain, associate important information to mobile goods and assets, and achieve greater security during distribution, Trends indicate that more and more enterprises are using technology to improve their risk management operations and to secure logistics as global security concerns increase over cargo in transit, the company stated in a press release.

In June 2010, CDC Software acquired Information Development Consultants, Inc., a cloud-based software as a service enterprise resource planning software solution provider for the state and local government and not-for-profit markets. This marks the latest acquisition in CDC Software's SaaS (News - Alert) roll-up strategy to significantly expand the market footprint of its CDC gomembers cloud-based enterprise software solution. The company has also acquired computility, a SaaS association management software solution.
