Dominic tells us how it feels to receive the award, as well as outlining the firms overall mission and what steps the company plans to take in order to reach their goals. “At Asolute, we were stunned and incredibly excited to hear that we have been selected to receive this prestigious award. Of course, we enjoyed our moment of glory. This award certainly adds value to the company. One of the main reasons for our success is the experience and the innovativeness of our key team members in identifying the needs of our customers and the industry.” “The company’s overall mission is to enhance our client’s experience by helping their customers.

Being able to not only implement a solution for clients but also being able to provide solutions for them is something that Dominic believes helps them to stand out within the industry.

There is no doubt that there are a number of competitor’s solutions out there but they are normally solo solutions in their own industry. We have resources and experience in the respective logistics industry itself; this helps us to not only implement but also to help provide solutions for clients. We believe if we are the best in at least one way, we are the best option for the people who value variety.” Dominic tells us about Malaysia, the region that the company is based in, highlighting the different cultures and languages within the country. The firm is constantly having to adapt and work around installing the solutions in the country that they will be deployed in, as not all solutions are replicated in other countries. “In this multi-cultural region, each country has its own culture and languages. Thus, to cope with inherent trade-offs, a wide variety of different technologies and approaches are being explored and practiced. When it comes to doing business here, we also practice localized requirements and processors which are not replicated in other countries in the region. This means we have to provide solutions specific to the country that we deploy the solutions in. Our business is always gearing up to tap into opportunities and investment from logistics companies across the world and since we already have a foot hold in this region, we are well ahead in terms of the implementation and deployment of our solutions.” One of its main goals, the company works hard to ensure the team and its staff can provide the best possible service to its clients. Integral to this is a good working environment. Dominic tells us about the internal culture within the firm, how the company engages with staff as they are a powerful asset and the keystone to company growth. Regarding recruitment, Asolute examine potential employees’ aspirations and attitude, rather than experience. “Culture matters in our company. We believe our staff are a powerful asset and they are the keystone to company growth. We allow our staff to be all they can be. When there are issues and obstacles, we encourage forums and discussion. We also like to have team building activities to encourage them to think outside the box. When we recruit, applicant’s aspirations and attitude is what we look at first rather than qualifications and experience.” “ Culture matters in our company. We believe our staff are a powerful asset and they are the keystone to company growth.”
