Elko Group Automates Point of Sales Information Flow using GridNode's Schema-Based GridNode
GridNode announces availability of schema-based solutions for next generation RosettaNet Partner Interface Process (PIPs®)
Redwood City, CA (PRWEB) May 26, 2004 --- GridNode, Inc., a leading provider of secure business-to-business integration software, today announced that ELKO Group, the leading computer components and solutions distributor in Central and Eastern Europe, has selected GridNode as its strategic inter-enterprise communications backbone. By automating its business processes with GridNodes solutions, ELKO expects to improve overall operational visibility internally and with its business partners.
"In the highly competitive electronics distribution industry, ELKO Group continues to focus on providing our customers with excellent service, while enhancing our ability to work with our suppliers and internal divisions to rapidly respond to changing market conditions" said Jens Hartmann, CEO, ELKO Group. "GridNodes reliable standards-based solution, supported by its top-notch implementation team, empowered ELKO to achieve faster and more accurate enterprise-wide visibility of our trading partners and multiple locations."
ELKO Group leveraged GridNodes GridTalk for RosettaNet communications software primarily to improve point of sales information flow with its trading partners. Point of sales information, which was previously exchanged on a weekly basis, can now more easily be exchanged on a daily or even real-time basis if desired. Business benefits include more accurate and timely information, at a fraction of what it used to cost for ELKO to exchange weekly reports over EDI.
ELKO is also able to leverage RosettaNet standardized business processes for value added supply chain services to their customers on behalf of the OEM manufacturers. Technical benefits of the new RosettaNet standards-compliant solution, which supports schema-based messaging, include the flexibility and scalability to plug-and-automate processes easily with extensive RosettaNet trading partner communities. In addition, this direct end-to-end solution supports international transliteration and is not encumbered by information brokers and transmission bottlenecks.
The implementation also leverages the next-generation RosettaNet Partner Interface Process® (PIP®) for Sales Reporting, PIP 4E1, which provides both human and machine-readable interfaces for exception management and straight-through processing.
GridNodes GridTalk communications platform will provide high-growth companies like ELKO Group with a lasting eCommerce foundation for both their supply-and-demand side strategic initiatives." Peter Kohayan, VP of Sales, GridNode. With GridNodes proven solutions, ELKO Group is well positioned to reap tremendous return on technology investments, further streamline operations and deliver more value-added services to customers through a flexible and scalable IT infrastructure."
