RAM's solution means there is no containing Blue Sky

Blue Sky Intermodal (UK) Ltd, a young but rapidly growing company in the container transportation industry has selected Real Asset Management's (RAM) Rental4000 container management solution to support its future short and long term leasing management requirements in a deal worth over £50,000.

Established in 2002, Blue Sky has experienced a steady rate of growth and is already leasing general purpose containers to a number of the top 20 shipping lines worldwide. With its headquarters in the UK and agents in Hong Kong, Singapore and Korea, the company is run by a team of industry experts with a combined experience of over 60 years in the container sector.

"Blue Sky recognises that it is essential to deploy competent and reputable operations systems as they play a key role in the successful management of container fleets", said Keith Hotston, Blue Sky's Operations & IT director. "We required a high spec solution to streamline our business processes and support future growth to significant levels".

After investigating the products commercially available, Blue Sky selected RAM's Rental4000 solution due to its rich functionality and scope for continuous development as well as RAM's stability and reputation as a leading supplier. “It was clear that RAM's breadth of knowledge and experience within the logistics industry would prove invaluable and has given us the confidence to place the responsibility of our system in their hands”, added Keith.

Until now, Blue Sky has been using a combination of software products for its billing and operations functions. The Rental4000 solution enables Blue Sky to consolidate, monitor and manage its daily operations and long term business activities. Acting as a central repository the system enables information to be accessed by the sales, operations and finance departments providing a more flexible and defined infrastructure, which enhances operational efficiency and helps drive productivity."It is essential to the future success of the company that we continue to automate our operations and create time savings by consolidating all of our business processes into one system", commented Keith. "As the company continues to grow, the system will enable us to build on our competitive position by maintaining a first class customer service and a flexible, pragmatic marketing approach, aided by the extensive functionality of Rental4000".

"I am delighted Blue Sky has selected RAM and confident the Rental4000 solution will provide a robust and scaleable platform for growth", said Karen Conneely, Real Asset Management's marketing manager. "Blue Sky's implementation has been very successful and we are now working in partnership to enable the company to leverage additional benefits from the RAM product suite”.
