Tapestry Solutions Wins U.S. Army Contract to Provide In-Transit Visibility for U.S. Central Command

October 22, 2018

Boeing [NYSE:BA], through its subsidiary Tapestry Solutions, announced it has received an award from the U.S. Army to provide In-Transit Visibility (ITV) for ground transportation logistics in the U.S. Central Command’s (CENTCOM) area of operations. The contract calls for the deployment of Tapestry’s Global Distribution Management System (GDMS) to track and manage civilian contractors who move Army equipment and supplies throughout Kuwait, the Trans-Arabian Network and Iraq.

The contract expands upon Tapestry’s current GDMS/ITV program in Afghanistan. Tapestry’s commercial software solution has served as a key element of the U.S. military’s Host Nation Trucking and subsequent National Afghan Trucking programs since 2009.

“The award further illustrates our customers’ confidence in our products, services and people,” said Michael Spencer, vice president, Global Sales & Marketing, Tapestry Solutions. “Our dedicated GDMS team manages thousands of transportation movements per month in Afghanistan – working 24 hours a day to safeguard people, data and cargo. We look forward to providing the same level of exceptional service in surrounding nations.”

GDMS acts as a central data fusion system that enables the U.S. military to have near real-time visibility, tracking metrics and accountability for all registered commercial vehicles. At the core of GDMS is a centralized database that links cargo movements with vehicles equipped with GPS-based transponders. The system provides panic alarms/alerts to contractors as they pass hazards and checkpoints, and displays the mission data on topographical maps. The system includes instant replay functions that allow for course-of-action analysis.

As an administrative tool, GDMS supports transportation management requests, captures actual delivery times, supports invoicing and validates demurrage charges. The data, captured in the GDMS-Mission Tracker (GDMS-MT) database, also assists with insurance claims, investigations and the military’s litigation efforts.

For CENTCOM, Tapestry will deploy the ITV/GDMS solution to Kuwait, Bahrain, Iraq, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Oman and Jordan. GDMS will supplement the military’s current radio frequency ITV infrastructure in the region and provide a common operating picture as supplies are transported to tactical operations centers, movement control teams and higher military echelons.

The contract includes a base year and one-year options. Work will commence immediately.

Tapestry Solutions Introduces GOLDesp MRO & Supply Interoperable Software to Coalition Leaders at Military Logistics & Procurement Conference, Kuwait

November 29, 2016

KUWAIT, November 29, 2016 – As a proud sponsor of the Kuwait’s annual Military Logistics & Procurement Kuwait conference,Tapestry Solutions officials highlighted the company’s industry-leading GOLDesp MRO & Supply software solution today at a presentation that was attended by international leaders from the Middle East, Europe, U.S., NATO and the UK.

In keeping with the conference theme, “GOLDesp MRO & SupplyStreamlining logistics and procurement in the age of joint operations,” Tapestry’s speaker outlined best practices in information technology for achieving coalition interoperability, with references to the company’s Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO) software solution. GOLDesp is also featured in Tapestry’s booth at the Kuwait conference, which is supported by the newly formed Armament and Procurement Authority of the Kuwait Ministry of Defence.

GOLDesp software modernizes MRO & supply chain operations for complex assets operating in land, air, sea and space environments. The technology standardizes and automates the maintenance and supply planning, scheduling and execution business processes, as well as the IT
infrastructure, for assets ranging from fighter jets and UAVs to military transports, vessels and space systems.

A fully deployable, commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) product, GOLDesp has been successfully implemented as a tri-service logistics management solution by military organizations in Europe, the UK, Asia, Oman, Saudi Arabia and Kuwait.

The Kuwait venue serves as a forum for the officers from the Kuwait Armed Forces to meet with their international counterparts and suppliers to overcome the challenges of logistics and procurement. This is an important year for the Kuwaiti armed forces, as Kuwait’s parliament recently approved an additional defense budget of over US$10 billion to support additional procurements.

The conference includes over 15 sessions and group discussions led by senior-most military officials in Kuwait and other world-leading militaries.  The speakers included Major General Lafi Al Aazmi, Chief of the Armament & Procurement Authority of the Kuwait Armed Forces; and Brigadier General Abdullah AlButi, Deputy Commander Kuwait Air Force. They were joined by an impressive roster speakers from the UK Ministry of Defence, United States Central Command, NATO and a number of other prominent speakers such as logistics commanders from Poland and Germany.
