TXT e-solutions, leader in the design and implementation of software
products for the supply chain and for the customer relationship (SC&CM Supply
Chain e Customer Management), and the Italcogim Group, one of the main private
operators in the gas and water sector, have announced today an agreement according to which TXT will provide its products to optimise Italcogim s distribution network and field services.
The Italcogim Group has been for over 40 years the manager of methane and other fuels distribution service and is now the fourth industrial group of the sector in Italy. The Group, after diversifying its activities within the eco-management sector (where it is leader in household waste collection and in dump management), aims at
expanding in the water sector, abroad (it is already present in Croatia) and in the multi-utility sector, that is in the thorough house management.
The Italcogim Group has opted for TXT SC&CM software products in order to manage all distributed services through state-of-the-art technology and to achieve the top efficiency in helping customers.
The implementation of the project will be carried out by Cap Gemini Ernest & Young, within a wider action undertaken jointly by the latter and the Italcogim Group, with the purpose of rationalizing territorial gas distribution.
TXT will support CGEY in this project with its own specialists, thus
strengthening the partnership established by the agreement signed by the two companies as of January 19th 2001.
TXT SC&CM software products will cover all phases in the process of
planning, programming and scheduling any intervention required by the end user.
Moreover, the scheduling and control of Italcogims task force distributed on the territory will be supported and coordinated by TXTs new SC&CM Mobile software.
This important project adds to many others recently won by TXT in the sector of energy and water supply, as well as in waste disposal.
The multi-utility sector presents all over Europe a market liberalization scenario with significant growth prospects for all companies showing competitive advantages. TXT has therefore created a complete vertical software solution for utilities, which stands out today as the reference solution in this sector.
The Italcogim Group is present in Italy with gas distribution in 230 urban networks and in waste collection in 800 towns, thus serving 5.6 million inhabitants. 2000s turnover was 1000 billion with 3 thousands employees. The Fabiani family, owner of the group, is completing the company reorganization and is preparing for the Milan Stock
Exchange.
