Case Study: Consort Express Lines Ltd achieves unified, automated operations and improved efficiency with Epicor ERP

Coastal Shipping Leader Consort Express Lines Ltd. Implements Epicor ERP to Automate and Optimize Business Operations

Consort Express Lines Ltd., a coastal shipping leader in Papua New Guinea with 800 employees and a fleet servicing 14 ports, needed a single unified solution after a 2001 office fire exposed the risks of paper-based records and fragmented systems. The company sought better supply-chain visibility, asset tracking, financial controls and seamless integration with existing applications for manifesting, payroll, fleet management and job costing.

Consort implemented Epicor ERP in 2004, integrating modules such as Purchase Order Management (with DocLink), Active Planner and asset management to centralize data and automate workflows. The solution enabled remote approvals, improved planning, budgeting and fixed‑asset visibility, streamlined integrations with third‑party systems, boosted staff productivity and efficiency, and provided a scalable platform to support continued growth.
