“…Terrestrial wireless communication systems such as General Packet Radio Services (GPRS) (Giaglis et al, 2002;Gruhn et al, 2003) in conjunction with satellite constellations such as Global Positioning System (GPS) (Djuknic and Richton, 2001;Zeimpekis et al, 2003) can be integrated with current vehicle routing systems (VRS) (Tarantilis and Kiranoudis, 2002b;Matsatsinis, 2003;Gayialis and Tatsiopoulos, 2004), and geographic information systems (GIS) (Belardo et al, 1985;Keenan, 1997) to provide mobile-enabled real-time distribution management services. These services should be designed to address mainly two cases:…”

AbstractPurpose -The paper examines the circumstances of success in telematic use and strategic effects resulting from the implementation and use of such technologies from SMEs in the Greek Market. Design/methodology/approach -The analysis is based on a three-phased triangulated research methodology; that is literature review, interviews from 15 logistics directors and a questionnaire survey of 73 logistics SMEs in Greece. Findings -The basic finding that has been derived from both phases 2 and 3 (survey and interviews) is that although the penetration of telematics is still low in Greece, logistics operators understand the importance of mobile services and they already know which they plan to their customers. Research limitations/implications -An inherent limitation of this survey is the fact that it address, like all surveys, the requirements of its respondents only, without taking into account. Originality/value -This paper explores customer perceptions and requirements for the implementation of mobile real-time support services for city logistics. The requirements, elicited by the results of the survey, are used to propose a systemic representation of a real-time vehicle management mechanism for urban transportation.

“…That the 2004-2006 was the period when the "basic" research results on the integration of ERP and GIS were developed and publish, is also suggested by the analysis of the citations. The two most frequently cited bibliographic units, both with over 40 citations, are from 2005 (Li et al 2005) with 61 citations, and from 2004, with 44 citations (Gayialis and Tatsiopoulos 2004). Li et al (2005) presented a study on applying an integrated Global Position System (GPS) and Geographical Information System -GIS technology to the reduction of construction waste, where the integrated GPS and GIS technology is combined to the Enterprise Resource Planning system.…”

Business informatics consists of two major areas which are developing separately but are closely related and also to some extent integrated within information systems architecture in organisations. The first area is business solutions as core information systems for support of business operationsthey consist of Enterprise resources planning solutions (ERP), Customer relationship management solutions (CRM) and other specialised solutions. The second area is Business Intelligence (BI). After describing the basic concepts of these information solutions/business information systems and their functionality, the chapter explains the emerging integration of business informatics and geo-informatics. Developments provided by solution providers are analysed and discussed. The chapter concludes with a bibliometric analysis of research which shows areas and dynamics of business informatics and GIS integration.

The paper deals with business renovation, effective utilization of information technology and the role of business process modeling in supply chain integration projects. The main idea is to show how the performance of the supply chain can be improved with the integration of various tiers in the chain. Integration is prerequisite for effective sharing and utilization of information between different companies in the chain. Simulation-based methodology for measuring the benefits combines the simulation of business processes with the simulation of supply and demand. The theoretical findings are illustrated with the case study of procurement process in a petrol company. Old and renewed business process models are shown. The changes in lead-times, process execution costs, quality of the process and inventory costs are estimated.
