Then he had a message come through from one of his senior technical advisers.
"We are pleased to announce that new software is available for both Stations and traders.Here is the first that we can implement immediately,with the following instructions....
"Oi recon we shud use these." He mused to himself.COMMODITY LOGISTICS SOFTWARE MK1
Commodity Logistics Software MK1
Version: 3.3.01; Scripter: Lucike; Abbreviation: “the CLS MK1”
Overview
This software supports the pilot in coordinating his internal production logistics.
It will enable a pilot to collect orders from different consumers within your enterprise and coordinate them with chosen suppliers.
Therefore, it is possible to deliver the products from several suppliers of a single resource to different consumers.
Consumers will generally be sorted and supplied according to how urgently they need the wares. Stations will only be considered for a delivery if they have less than 95% of the storage space filled.
The same principle applies to your producers, who will only be allowed to ship wares if their stores are at least 10% full.
Put in a different way, stations will not receive wares if they are almost full,and suppliers will not send out wares if they are almost empty.
Over time the pilot will learn to use this software more efficiently, because nobody starts out as an expert.
Additionally, he might participate in special training courses.
These training courses are offered in the pilot’s home base at certain time intervals.
The software was originally developed by an Argon software engineer and as such is being sold in every Argon Equipment Dock.
It is also available in the Trading Station located in Herron’s Nebula.

Hint:
If you buy the Commodity Logistics Software at the software
producer’s offices at the Free Argon Trading Station in Herron’s
Nebula, the producer tries to provide qualified personnel. If you
actually start the software at the trading station you might get
lucky and receive qualified pilots from the very beginning.
