TRADING PARTNER LIST

From The CEO

Dear Customers and Partners,

Since the onset of the economic downturn, DiCentral’s goal was clear; to provide cost cutting solutions to help our clients maximize efficiency. We realize that our clients in the retail segment are examining ways to increase productivity with fewer resources. They also struggle to increase sales, while encountering ongoing challenges associated with retail programs such as Scan Based Trading (SBT) and Vendor Managed Inventory (VMI). DiCentral offers a solution to help these suppliers. DiReplenish is a demand-based supply chain application for effective implementation of SBT and VMI. It can synchronize EDI point-of-sale data and workflow processes for optimal collaboration. DiReplenish can increase productivity by automating many day-to-day tasks such as order generation, exception management, and order planning. Not only will DiReplenish save valuable resources, it can also expand business and sales opportunities from enhanced trading partner relationships. Leveraging DiReplenish to support your SBT or VMI relationships can provide complete visibility into your sales. This will allow you to adjust your inventory for maximum sales and fewer stock shortages.

Now it is more important than ever before to cut costs but sell more; we are here to help you meet these challenges.

Thuy Mai, CEO

DiReplenish for Simplified, Efficient Scan Based Trading and Vendor Managed Inventory

It’s great when a simple and cost–effective solution can be found for the kind of complex problems that scan–based suppliers face daily. Problems like managing point-of-sale data, verifying in–store inventories, and calculating in–transit merchandise versus what is actually on the selling floor can be resolved easily with DiReplenish.

DiReplenish is a comprehensive, demand–based supply chain application for suppliers. It can help strengthen trading partners’ relationships for increased sales and reduced inventory costs. Active participation in Vendor Managed Inventory (VMI) or Scan Based Trading (SBT) is now fast to implement, easy to operate and financially rewarding. In addition, DiReplenish support and services includes all trading partner profiles, bringing value to the supplier by reducing labor requirements. The DiReplenish solution requires no additional technology staff to support your VMI or SBT efforts. This provides the most reliable path to quantifiable results by bundling comprehensive EDI and supply chain tools, structured implementation, and superior expertise.

DiReplenish provides a full range of VMI/SBT capabilities. This features a high level of automation for virtually any product mix and scales from 50 to 50,000 locations. Item–specific inventory is analyzed and orders are produced according to your customer’s rules. Scan Based Trading improves supply chain efficiency due to labor savings and reduction of non–value added costs such as store level receiving.

As trading partners are increasingly implementing more sophisticated relationships with their vendors, it is paramount that suppliers synchronize their EDI point–of–sale data and workflow processes to make Scan Based Trading invaluable. Never before have the expectations of your trading partners been more demanding, and never before has an opportunity to differentiate your organization been so visible as through Scan Based Trading and Vendor Managed Inventory.
