Cary (ots)

Partnership Will Enable Retailers To Reduce
Inventory, Improve Customer Service And Streamline The Creation Of A
Global Supplier/Trading Partner Network
BridgePoint, Inc. (www.bridge-point.com), the leading provider of
global, multimode supply chain visibility announced today that it has
been selected by The WorldWide Retail Exchange (WWRE), the premier
Internet-based business-to-business exchange in the retail
e-marketplace, to provide global supply chain connectivity,
visibility and data quality services to its members and in-turn their
trading partners. The announcement coincides with the signing of an
alliance that enables the WWRE to offer BridgePoint's supply chain
visibility services to its members and their trading partners.
Through the alliance agreement, WWRE member companies can gain
access to critical status information for scheduled inbound, outbound
and in-transit shipments moving on any mode of transportation
globally. This information will be collected using BridgePoint's
existing trading partner network and retail-focused business model
that will be tailored specifically for WWRE members by BridgePoint
and the WWRE.
"By deploying our proven retail business model, the WWRE can
deploy this solution to dramatically accelerate the financial benefit
each member receives from the exchange," says Stephanie Miles,
general manager at BridgePoint. "This approach leverages the
synergies between BridgePoint's retail solution and the WWRE's other
services."
BridgePoint's solution includes a private logistics trading
partner network that will simplify the collection, validation,
interpretation and aggregation of data from suppliers, carriers,
freight forwarders and other partners from around the world. As a
part of the WWRE® WorldWide Trade Logistics solution, BridgePoint
will extend these services to Exchange members and will then manage
this network, utilizing its data quality engines to power the overall
solution. BridgePoint's other services including order and product
tracking, alerts, exceptions and analytical reporting will also be
offered by the WWRE as part of this service offering.
"BridgePoint's ability to demonstrate a successful data management
solution was a critical decision factor in entering into this
alliance," said Colin Dyer, CEO at the WWRE. "Their ability to
automate the collection and validation of data from numerous, global
sources clearly sets them apart from all other providers."
Immediately available, the joint solution offering reinforces the
commitment of both the WWRE and BridgePoint to provide measurable
financial benefits through supply chain efficiency. Value for
customers include:
· Reduced network creation costs.
· Accelerated order delivery and improved cycle times.
· Lower inventory and transportation costs.
· Improved customer service.
· Decreased technology investment.
· Improved supplier and carrier coordination.
