IT VISION
INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY
IT MasterPlan
Computerisation
Richland has taken the initiative and has invested
heavily in its computerisation programme.
We started with acquiring an in-house developed
system to automate our invoicing and billing
process.
Programme & Software
Currently, we are using the SUNRAY V
programme for management of the FCL (Full
Container Load). This powerful programme allows
tracking of containers movement and accurate
billing information.
We have engaged a logistics and supply
chain software developer to customise a
proprietory programme that will help to
plan and optimise trucks routing for loose
cargoes. This web based programme will
enable customers to place booking
instructions and check the location and
status of their cargoes on-line. This system
is scheduled to be in placed in early 2001.
Future Plan
In future, we will house a powerful IT
infrastructure which allows for interface
capabilities to link up with our customers’
systems.

OUR QUALITY PROGRAMS
PEOPLE QUALITY PROGRAMS
We believe that good customer service can only
be derived from a healthy, friendly and closelyknit corporate community. Hence, the most
important ingredient to a company’s success is
our human resources. To retain talents and
groom potential successors of the company, we
invested in the following people quality
programs.
PEOPLE QUALITY PROGRAMS
 TRAINING
Irregardless of the rank, file or post, all staff from
the Managing Director to the drivers and cargohandlers receive specific training at least twice a
year. We have in place, a total company training
plan (TCTP) which is revised every year in
accordance to the training needs of every
individual staff. Our TCTP includes a training
calendar that lists out all the in-house and
external training programs designed for each
staff.
In April 2000, we were recognised by The
Singapore Productivity and Standards Board
(PSB) for our efforts in organising an in-house
training program for our truck-drivers and cargohandlers at the start of the millennium year.
 CORPORATE DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS
In our strive to compete in the ever-challenging
market, the management sets forth its vision for
the company for the next five years, in its annuallyrevised Strategic Business Plan.
This plan consists of our long term mission,
coupled with a list of short term goals and
objectives to facilitate the fulfillment of our mission.
To complement and realise these visions, we
engaged a business coach to assist us in a “10
steps to Successful Business Perfection” program,
one which has helped over 1000 workgroups to
achieve their goals

tools such as pareto charts, cause and
effect diagrams, pie charts and checklist

reports to support proposed solutions.

To cultivate team spirit and a people friendly
environment, staff and family day outings
are organised on a regular basis. All staff

progress and developments via an internal
newsletter. Recently, our company was
recognised by the media as the first SME to
