CINCINNATI, OH — (Marketwire) — 07/26/11 — Datalliance announced today that Carl Buddig & Company has selected the Datalliance VMI service as the foundation technology for their (VMI) program. Buddig is a leading manufacturer of branded and private label sliced lunch meats which are available at retail food outlets such as Walmart, Kroger, Aldi, Supervalu/Albertson-s, Safeway, Food Lion, Meijer, Publix, HEB, Giant Eagle, Roundy-s, and many others. While Buddig has considerable experience with co-managed inventory with Walmart, this is their initial VMI implementation. Buddig has already gone live with Kroger and will continue the roll-out of VMI with other key retail partners.
Dan Wynn, Chief Operating Officer, Carl Buddig & Company, commented on their VMI selection process and the choice of Datalliance VMI. “We conducted a thorough evaluation of what we considered to be all of the major VMI alternatives in the consumer goods arena. Datalliance was chosen based on their lowest total cost of ownership, quick and easy implementation path, application functionality, and their demonstrated track record of success in our industry. Throughout our initial implementation with Kroger, Carl Buddig-s users and IT support team rated Datalliance-s training and customer support as outstanding and second to none. Many software and service providers will commit to a smooth, on time, and on budget implementation. It was our experience that Datalliance actually delivered on these commitments.”
Scott Kleinert, Director of CPG Industry Sales, Datalliance, stated, “We are excited to have the Carl Buddig Company as part of our growing Consumer Products Goods community of customers. The addition of Buddig is another example of CPG companies expanding their VMI participation in both branded and private label products. We look forward to working with Buddig and their key trading partners on the implementation of VMI.”
