Gati, an Allcargo Group brand, announced a collaboration with Tech Mahindra to create an application that would enhance efficiency and open up new business options for the company. Tech Mahindra will enable Gati to custom construct the software program – Gati Enterprise Management System (GEMS) 2.0 – from scratch over the next 18-24 months, covering the complete first, mid, and last-mile processes, according to the business.
 
According to the company, the software will be created in modules such as pickup, delivery, en-route, client contracts, and invoicing, among others, and will provide a modern tech-driven interface while enhancing efficiency and cutting costs. Gati stated that the software application leverages Tech Mahindra's experience and focuses on cloud-native applications, and that the agreement is aimed at replacing Gati's antiquated application with a digital, scalable, and flexible cloud-based application.
 
As per Pirojshaw Sarkari, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of Gati Express and Supply Chain Pvt Ltd, GEMS, which was launched 20 years ago, is a pioneering effort in the logistics business.
 
"Our partnership with Gati in designing and developing GEMS 2.0 will help the organisation boost productivity, unlock new business opportunities and scale performance," said Vivek Agarwal, President - APJI (Enterprise), Corporate Development at Tech Mahindra.
 
Developing an advanced real-time Enterprise Resource Planning platform, GEMS was a part of Gati's evolution from a prominent express distribution player to an end-to-end logistics company with a core vision to put the customer first, optimize processes and to achieve better workflow management, said G S Ravi, EVP and Group CIO at Gati Limited.
