Cyclone Commerce and Velosel to Accelerate Collaborative Product Information Management
SCOTTSDALE, ArIz. and SANTA CLARA, Calif., Oct. 5–Cyclone Commerce and Velosel Corporation today announced a partnership to streamline Collaborative Product Information Management (CPIM) and Global Data Synchronization (GDS) projects between large retailers, consumer products and pharmaceutical companies. Since manufacturers and retailers synchronize information at the edge of their enterprises, this partnership is focused on scaling this collaborative B2B process.
As part of this effort, Cyclone and Velosel will share information, technology and testing resources for the joint deployment of sophisticated CPIM solutions. Given the two companies‚ success and established customer base in the retail, consumer products and pharmaceuticals industries, this partnership is ideally positioned to synchronize the retail supply chain and help prepare these organizations for key future initiatives such as RFID.
"Velosel and Cyclone are working together to offer our customers the first CPIM solution with multi-modal, simultaneous synchronization across all certified data pools including WWRE, Transora, UCCnet and the Global Registry," said Daryl Eicher, general manager of retail and consumer goods solutions for Cyclone Commerce. "Companies that rapidly scale their GDS programs to include their key trading partners achieve a quicker return on their investment. This partnership provides a smarter, simpler way for joint customers to ramp and gain value from their GDS programs."
"We are excited to be working with Cyclone, based on its proven track record of managing some of the largest and most complex retail and consumer products trading communities,‰ said Russ Henry, senior vice president of marketing for Velosel. „As these industries prepare for strategic initiatives like GDS and RFID, the foundation is a Collaborative Product Information Management solution. This partnership will accelerate our joint customers‚ ability to successfully deploy and scale solutions to reach their business performance goals."
For the hundreds of business-to-business processes in retail and consumer goods industries, Cyclone provides Smarter B2B solutions that help enterprises manage these processes from the edge of their infrastructure rather than relying solely upon back-end systems.
