WESTBOROUGH, Mass. - (BUSINESS WIRE) - RedTail
Solutions, which delivers managed
services for electronic
data interchange (EDI) and global
data synchronization (GDS) to mid-market suppliers and manufacturers
today announced that it has been named by Supply & Demand Chain
Executive magazine to the eighth-annual listing of the Supply &
Demand Chain Executive 100. Final recipients are featured in the cover
story of the June/July 2009 issue of Supply & Demand Chain Executive,
as well as online at www.SDCExec.com.
Supply & Demand Chain Executive has identified leading
providers of supply chain services and technologies who are helping
their customers and clients both respond to the downturn and, more
importantly, position themselves for growth ahead. Based on submissions
to the "100" from end users and solution providers, the judging
committee for the "100" has compiled a list of leading supply and demand
chain innovators.
"Our readers turn to Supply & Demand Chain Executive to
learn about solutions and best practices for enabling the supply chain
to weather the current economic storm in which we find ourselves, and
also to position themselves for growth when recovery takes hold,"
explained Andrew K. Reese, editor of Supply & Demand Chain Executive.
"The corporate executives and line-of-business leaders who rely on the
magazine want to know what the different supply chain solution and
service providers are doing to help them meet these critical, corporate
'life-or-death' challenges."
RedTail Adheres to Customers' Needs
Because RedTail's customers are mid-sized manufacturers and
distributors, conducting business with large global trading partners
like The Home Depot, Costco and Wal-Mart is daunting and requires a
unique set of skills.
"EDI is a very complex and costly technology for mid-sized companies to
maintain in-house, especially during this tough economic climate. By
handling the entire EDI process for our customers, we enable them to
focus on their core business requirements. They do not have to worry
about compliance issues with trading partners or maintaining complex IT
solutions," said Bob Gleason, RedTail's president and CEO. "Our Managed
Services solution is uniquely designed to scale to each customer's
needs, whether it is growing as their EDI volumes increase or ratcheting
down as their EDI volumes decrease during lean times."
RedTail's Managed Services solution offers the flexibility needed to
help its customers navigate today's challenging economic environment in
a way that does not jeopardize their ability to scale as the economy
rebounds, including:
-
Replacing Lost Customers: As supplier sales teams land new
customers to replace retailers going out of business, it's imperative
to quickly enable electronic commerce. RedTail handles all EDI and GDS
connections quickly so business can flow seamlessly.
-
Loss of Business: As orders and revenue decline, RedTail's
"pay-per-transaction" model enables customers to cut costs by paying
only for those EDI transactions processed.
-
Compliance: When consumer demand decreases, retailers tend to
impose more stringent trade compliance demands on suppliers. RedTail's
EDI and GDS solutions sustain high compliance levels, minimizing
chargebacks imposed on suppliers.
-
Improving Operations: Key to RedTail's success is the
solution's seamless integration with today's most popular mid-market
business accounting solutions from Microsoft,
Sage
Software and AccountMate.
Integration reduces labor and improves accuracy.
-
Scalability: Just as easily as RedTail customers can ratchet
down transaction costs in a downturn they can grow their EDI volume as
business picks up. RedTail uses the same technology platform and
delivers the same exceptional customer service regardless of customer
size and transaction volume.
