Virtualstock Holdings Limited ("VSHL") joins UK Government G-Cloud 5 Framework
Legendary is pleased to announce that its investee company, VSHL has been accepted on the UK Government's G-Cloud 5 Framework ("G-Cloud 5") programme. G-Cloud 5 provides central government departments, executive agencies and non-departmental public bodies with an innovative, cheaper and faster way to access and purchase government-approved IT products and services. By being accepted on G Cloud 5, VSHL is now able to provide its services to public sector organisations. Exploratory discussions with certain public sector organisations are underway.
VSHL'ssupply-chain and data management solution, The Edge, seamlessly interfaces with the vast majority of components in the inventory, supply and logistics value chain and data management systems and platforms, giving organisations superior control of their data, without interfering with existing systems. The increased visibility of how an organisation is performing through data intelligence allows for a more efficient, leaner and cost effective operation. The implementation of the software-as-a-service solution is also a rapid, flexible and scalable alternative to traditional systems integrations.
VSHL's solutions have allowed companies in the private sector to improve efficiency and make substantial cost savings. Its services are now available to the public sector.
Zafar Karim, Executive Chairman of Legendary, said "We are delighted that progress at Virtualstock continues. Its leading edge solutions have already been adopted by some of the largest private sector organisations and can now be supplied to public sector bodies. Virtualstock is well on its way to becoming an industry standard inventory, supply and logistics value chain and data management utility. This announcement is an important milestone referencing the successful expansion of Virtualstock beyond the retail sector."
