HAHT COMMERCE SIGNS "PARTNERS IN SYNC" AGREEMENT WITH UCCNET
Completion of Certification Will Grant HAHT Alliance Partner Status
Raleigh, N.C. and Lawrenceville, N.J., Feb. 18, 2002 - UCCnet, a tax-exempt, neutral foundation that provides item registry and data synchronization based on industry-developed standards announced HAHT Commerce, Inc. has entered the "Partners In Sync" Alliance Program. Upon completing UCCnet certification as an Alliance Partner, HAHT Commerce, a leading provider of Demand Chain Management applications, will offer its consumer-products manufacturers rapid integration to UCCnet`s trading partner community.
"HAHT Commerce`s vision for demand chain management applications and B2B integration is synergistic with the UCCnet initiative and provides a framework for the rapid expansion of the UCCnet trading community," said Emil Martinez, vice president of business development, UCCnet.
Incomplete or inaccurate information in sales and distribution channels can cause trading partners to order the wrong product, resulting in invoice deductions and product returns, which tie up valuable working capital. In addition, poor timing and communication of product introductions frequently can lead to spikes in inventory levels or out-of-stock situations.
HAHT Commerce meets these challenges with a comprehensive solution that includes the HAHT Channel for UCCnet. The HAHT Channel for UCCnet integrates the HAHT Commerce Suite of applications with UCCnet`s foundation services to enable trading partners to significantly improve accuracy, efficiency and profitability throughout their demand chain. Successful data synchronization ensures the right information for the right products is always available to a trading community in a secure environment.
"We are committed to providing the best demand chain management solutions for consumer products companies," said Greg Rodgers, Industry Solutions Director and former Director of eBusiness for Whirlpool. "This partnership reflects UCCnet`s and HAHT`s shared vision to create an open cost-effective community for information exchange between consumer goods manufacturers and their trading partners."
HAHT solutions for the consumer products industry have recently been recognized by Consumer Goods Technology (CGT) Magazine as winners in two categories: Top 10 Manufacturing Solutions and Top 10 Trade Promotions Solutions.
