Catania Spagna Using RedTail Solution's RTTM-XC™ SaaS Platform to Satisfy Global Data Sync Requirements with Retailers

Joins Other RedTail Customers in Leveraging Single Solution for EDI and GDS

WESTBOROUGH, Mass., Jan. 23, 2006 -- RedTail Solutions, the leading provider of outsourced solutions for supply chain visibility including electronic trading and global data synchronization (GDS), today announced that Catania Spagna Corporation has become the latest company to adopt RedTail’s GDS Software as a Service (SaaS) platform: RedTail Transaction Manager with Xpress Conveyor (RTTM-XC)™ .

RTTM-XC gives middle-market and enterprise level companies fully integrated solutions that comply with standards for EDI, GDS and radio frequency identification (RFID).

Catania Spagna, an industry leader in supplying retail, foodservice, and industrial customers with high-quality branded and private label oils and vinegars, had been meeting its EDI needs by outsourcing them to RedTail. It recently adopted the new RTTM-XC platform to help satisfy retail trading partner requirements for synchronizing item data. A long-time customer of RedTail and user of RTTM for EDI, the company quickly moved forward with RTTM-XC for synchronizing item data. It leveraged existing knowledge and business processes to perform global data synchronization activity through a single, integrated solution. Catania Spagna selected RTTM-XC because it realized that integrating EDI and data sync requirements directly to the back office reduces the huge costs of managing multiple applications, recruiting internal resources and changing existing business processes.

“RedTail and Catania Spagna have a relationship that dates back several years, and we are always able to count on RedTail for strengthening our competitive position with applications and processes that complement our existing platform,” said Jennifer Basile, retail sales coordinator for Catania Spagna. “Having a single solution to manage EDI as well as our new GDS requirement saves us the time and expense associated with finding and implementing stand-alone, non-integrated solutions. RedTail Solutions provided us with out-of-the-box GDS functionality that is basically an extension of what we are already doing today without having to alter existing business processes.”

The first release of RTTM-XC was designed to satisfy the needs of manufacturers that require a simple, easy way to load, maintain and publish product data through certified data pools such as 1SYNC. By combining EDI and GDS into a single solution, RedTail’s SaaS platform enables customers to conduct electronic business with their key accounts through automatic integration with their back office systems. The platform enables this in a way that complies with all standards and meets evolving industry requirements.

“While electronic data interchange and global data synchronization are b2b processes required by our customers, the process doesn’t have to be complicated,” said Patricia Meisner, CEO of RedTail Solutions. “We are happy to see Catania Spagna join RedTail’s growing list of EDI customers that are now leveraging RTTM for GDS. The release of RTTM-XC in October 2005 completes the first step along RedTail’s technology roadmap to provide manufacturers like Catania Spagna with end-to-end supply chain visibility in a true SaaS platform that eventually will integrate business processes between trading partners.”

RedTail’s RTTM application now serves as a single-source system for EDI and GDS that is integrated with the supplier’s product information. It is available with transaction-based pricing for suppliers that wish to perform EDI and with subscription pricing for those in need of data synchronization capabilities.
