Edgenet announced today that Noble Supply & Logistics, a leading provider of integrated supply, procurement, and logistics solutions to Government and businesses worldwide, has selected Edgenet to provide a Data Collection Program. This initiative will enable Noble and its suppliers to exchange marketing product content and logistical data in a way that is seamless and error-free.

Edgenet will provide Marketing, Private, and GS1 GDSN™ data services and is the only company that offers a complete data management solution that incorporates these aspects of product data in a single offering.

Thomas Noble, Jr., Noble’s Chief Executive Officer said, “For more than a year, we have been investing heavily and struggling internally with the collection and cleansing of product data. We investigated many solutions and ultimately we found the integration we needed through Edgenet. Their solutions not only successfully collect and distribute product data; they provide a pathway to manage the on-going maintenance of the data. Additionally, as we continue to add supply chain contracts for the military and Government; Edgenet provides an easy, simple interface for us to review and source from to fulfill these opportunities. We are excited about our new partnership with Edgenet and believe it will strengthen Noble’s ability to provide our customers with the product information they need to find the right product for the job, the first time, every time".

“Our customers receive significant competitive advantage from our quality data”, said Tom Frederick, President and Chief Executive Officer of Edgenet. Frederick went on to say “Edgenet is committed to providing exceptional value to the MRO and Government Supply Chain verticals. We are very pleased to provide added value to our Edgenet customers who are actively synchronizing data in Industrial Supply and Hardlines Industries”.

Noble is looking for suppliers to start loading their products immediately to ensure a 4th Quarter of 2009 access of that data as they source to fulfill the many contracts in hand and to be awarded over the coming months.

The Noble Supply & Logistics announcement marks a significant event for Edgenet with its official entry into both the Maintenance Repair and Operations (MRO) and Government Supply Chain verticals. This expands the Edgenet Network and adds value for existing and future Edgenet customers and media partners. The Edgenet Network consists of product data management and applications that bring together manufacturers, distributors, retailers and consumers to provide enhanced buying and selling experiences.
