The web + satellites + cell phones = efficient delivery networks
Description: On an average day, Stacy`s Florist, a member of the FTD network, delivers 50 to 75 orders from its two shops in the southeastern coastal town of Hinesville, Ga. Business is good, but it takes more than pretty flower arrangements to keep customers happy, owner Herbert Stacy says. Because customers often want flowers delivered by a certain time to mark special occasions, Stacy`s may get dozens of calls each day inquiring about delivery status. "We would waste so much time taking those calls, it took up 25% or more of our time," he says.

For American Eagle buyers, its more fashion, less paperwork
Description: Selling apparel fashions to teens and young adults takes a lot of both art and science--the art in knowing what fashions will sell and the science of getting those fashions in front of shoppers while they`re still interested. The effort puts time constraints on retailers like American Eagle Outfitters Inc., which tries to delay final buying decisions as long as possible to get the right mix of fashion treatments for its private label apparel. "We really push the envelope in terms of each product execution," says Dave Repp, director of supply chain technologies.
