By Staff -- Modern Materials Handling, 10/1/2005

Oracle has agreed to buy G-Log, a supplier of logistics and transportation management software. Although financials have not been disclosed, the parties anticipate closing the transaction by the end of 2005.

"The acquisition of G-Log will allow Oracle to offer a comprehensive supply chain and logistics management solution through which companies can better manage their global supply chains," says Oracle senior vice president of applications development Rick Jewell. "With G-Log's proven transportation management platform and Oracle's leading technology infrastructure, ERP and supply chain applications, customers will now have an integrated offering for the lean enterprise."

More than 50% of G-Log's customers have Oracle applications.

"By combining the talents and products of both organizations, Oracle will be better able to address evolving customer needs and effectively respond to industry trends that are driving the demand for complex logistics solutions," says G-Log chief executive officer David Cairns.
