2007Outstanding Speed of Gica Systems - the base of success
Since the rollout of the Internet based Gica Systems, we have been implementing and demonstrating Gica systems to many logistics enterprises, some of which with over 10,000 staff across Hong Kong, China, South East Asia, UK, and US. All are astonished at the fast responding speed of the systems, as well as the completeness of the system functions & features which can well cover the business needs of different regions & offices.
The responding speed is the bottleneck of Internet based solution. Any project or system just cannot get around with this key issue before delivering any application solution. Many companies including software companies and industries are still suffering from such dilemma situation - the software of highly invested is completed in terms of business flow but the whole system is not acceptable because of the speed. The bigger trouble is, nobody knows when such problem can be 'fixed', and even if the problem is fixed, the whole application may have to re-write due to the change of technology path. After years of hardworking, sufferings, failures and further continuous hardworking, Gica has successfully overcome such bottleneck and is leading the technology.
We are calling for cooperation from logistics industry, other industries, software firms, as well as providing ready-made and proven powerful logistics solutions. So far, Gica systems have been running in over 24 cities through normal Internet environment, including Hong Kong, Shanghai, Ningbo, Nanjing, Xiamen, Fuzhou, Wenzhou, Hefei, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Zhongshan, Singapore, Bangkok, Felixstowe, Southampton, Thamesport, London, Spain, Tokyo, Osaka, Seoul, Panama, and so on. Languages that are being operated include English, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Japanese, Korean, etc. Gica systems can well cover different business needs of different logistics offices.
We welcome the opportunity to present & demo Gica systems to operation managers, managers, and IT engineers. We also welcome the opportunity to help you compare Gica systems with any other solutions either of Internet based or non-Internet based, on technology or business, on English version or Chinese version.

******* STORY OF GICA SEARCHING ENGINE
This version is the third version of Gica systems under the Internet environment. As early as 1996, the key developers of Gica participated in the development of several major Internet projects for New Zealand Police and Hong Kong Government. Those systems were mostly information publishing platforms instead of online operation systems which require fast response time as the technical base.
After that, we started to develop Internet based Logistics Systems under J2EE environment. The first result turned out to be not successful again due to the unacceptable response time for operation functions.
After couple of years trial, development, experiment, struggling, and failure, we turned to .Net and developed the first version of our Ocean/Air Freight Systems. The result was still unacceptable like all other Internet based solutions on the market - application part is perfect but the system is too slow for online operations.
Without fast response time, any Internet solution will have to be discarded as 'unacceptable', no matter how 'powerful' or how 'beautiful' the solution is.
The current fast and poweful Gica systems are the co-working result of many professionals in many years. Actually quite some of the participants are professors and their Master/PhD students from Tsinghua University (清华大学) the top university of China and the Chinese Academy of Sciences (中国科学院), and of course research engineers from Gica.
The technology we achieved is applicable to both J2EE and .Net.
