French term

EXPLM Distribution

French to English Bus/Financial Transport / Transportation / Shipping
Context is the revamp of a costing system for haulage and freight distribution, creating an interface between the operational software and the accounting. The aim being to arrive at decent, separate margins on services provided.
There is no indication that this is the name of the company.
I have been able to find no "EXPLM" reference for freight.
I should really appreciate help to break through!

I have just sent these final clarifications to the client.

Hard choice - and it might get harder! I hope you have a cool deadline?
Jack Dunwell (asker) Jul 20, 2008:
Yes. le modèle d'EXPLM Distribution cible (ou présentation des marges nettes par service), valables pour les agences Réseau D.
kashew Jul 20, 2008:
I'm assuming (a pretty wild guess!) they mean Ex-PLM, formerly PLM rail-carried goods.

Pouvez vous nous donner 2 ou 3 phrases avant et après la phrase qui contient ce mot ?

Hello, Fourth

I think you will have to use your own knowledge and initiative here to answer your question.....I do not translate this sort of material!
Arnold007 seems to think it is OK!

Well, even better if you can check with the client :-)
Note from asker:
Hello Liz, thank you for "going for it" I think one reference is general SAP and the other accounts payable. Is that how you see it?
Thanks Liz for your efforts. I'm thinking more and more that this an internal reference.
Ys, Liz probably so. No problem!

agree Arnold T. : Bravo Liz : SAP a un "module" appelé SAP PLM; votre suggestion est parfairement logique : http://www.sap.com/solutions/business-suite/plm/index.epx
