RedTail Solutions Named to the Eighth-Annual Supply & Demand Chain Executive 100 List for 2009
Winners Recognized for Providing Strategic IT Solutions that Help Customers Thrive During Difficult Economic Times
WESTBOROUGH, Mass., – June 29, 2009 – RedTail Solutions, Inc., which delivers managed services for electronic data interchange (EDI) and global data synchronization (GDS), to mid-market suppliers, today announced that it has been named by Supply &
Demand Chain Executive magazine to the eighth-annual listing of the Supply & Demand Chain
Executive 100. Final recipients are featured in the cover story of the June/July 2009 issue of
Supply & Demand Chain Executive, as well as online at www.SDCExec.com.
Supply & Demand Chain Executive has identified leading providers of supply chain services and
technologies who are helping their customers and clients both respond to the downturn and, more
importantly, position themselves for growth ahead. Based on submissions to the "100" from end
users and solution providers, the judging committee for the "100" has compiled a list of leading
supply and demand chain innovators.
"Our readers turn to Supply & Demand Chain Executive to learn about solutions and best
practices for enabling the supply chain to weather the current economic storm in which we find
ourselves, and also to position themselves for growth when recovery takes hold," explained
Andrew K. Reese, editor of Supply & Demand Chain Executive. "The corporate executives and
line-of-business leaders who rely on the magazine want to know what the different supply chain
solution and service providers are doing to help them meet these critical, corporate 'life-or-death'
challenges."
RedTail Adheres to Customers' Needs
Because RedTail's customers are mid-sized manufacturers and distributors, conducting business
with large global trading partners like The Home Depot, Costco and Wal-Mart is daunting and
requires a unique set of skills.
"EDI is a very complex and costly technology for mid-sized companies to maintain in-house,
especially during this tough economic climate. By handling the entire EDI process for our
customers, we enable them to focus on their core business requirements. They do not have to
worry about compliance issues with trading partners or maintaining complex IT solutions," said
Bob Gleason, RedTail's president and CEO. "Our Managed Services solution is uniquely
designed to scale to each customer's needs, whether it is growing as their EDI volumes increase
or ratcheting down as their EDI volumes decrease during lean times."
RedTail's Managed Services solution offers the flexibility needed to help its customers navigate
today's challenging economic environment in a way that does not jeopardize their ability to scale
as the economy rebounds, including:
- Replacing Lost Customers: As supplier sales teams land new customers to replace
retailers going out of business, it's imperative to quickly enable electronic commerce.
RedTail handles all EDI and GDS connections quickly so business can flow seamlessly.
- Loss of Business: As orders and revenue decline, RedTail's "pay-per-transaction" model
enables customers to cut costs by paying only for those EDI transactions processed.
- Compliance: When consumer demand decreases, retailers tend to impose more stringent
trade compliance demands on suppliers. RedTail's EDI and GDS solutions sustain high
compliance levels, minimizing chargebacks imposed on suppliers.
- Improving Operations: Key to RedTail's success is the solution's seamless integration
with today's most popular mid-market business accounting solutions from Microsoft,
Sage Software and AccountMate. Integration reduces labor and improves accuracy.
- Scalability: Just as easily as RedTail customers can ratchet down transaction costs in a
downturn they can grow their EDI volume as business picks up. RedTail uses the same
technology platform and delivers the same exceptional customer service regardless of
customer size and transaction volume.
