ATLANTA December 16, 2003 - Inovis, a provider of business commerce automation solutions, today announced that it has added sixty companies to its growing installed base of UCCnet customers. With more major retailers requiring suppliers to comply with UCCnet — which provides an open platform for trading partners to exchange product data — many companies are turning to Inovis. New customers of Inovis’ BizManager for UCCnet Services solution include Aspen Pet Products, Uniden America Corporation, Memorex Products Inc., Prime-Line Products, and SIMKAR LLC.

“Inovis has been our EDI solution provider since 1997. We needed to get up to speed quickly on the requirements for exchanging information with UCCnet’s GLOBALregistry,” said Charles Sharp, director of information technology at Aspen Pet Products. “Inovis came through in a timely manner with information and technology to help us understand how to address requests from major retailers. Thanks to our long-standing relationship, they were very responsive to our own business needs.”

“When evaluating several software packages for UCCnet compliance, Inovis’ offering was the obvious choice. We knew the company had the expertise and services we could rely on. Inovis provided us with a comprehensive solution that will enable us to quickly achieve the mandates for UCCnet item synchronization,” said Mike Drzycimski, information systems manager at Uniden Corporate, a leading manufacturer of consumer electronic products.

Developed by Inovis' IPNet business unit, BizManager for UCCnet Services, which includes BizSync, MapPack for UCCnet, BizSync Monitor and BizCatalog, is a complete, certified solution supporting UCCnet 2.2.1. The software gathers, validates, manages and publishes item information into the UCCnet GLOBALregistry. 

“These wins demonstrate the growing confidence in our UCCnet solutions within small to mid-size business and large enterprises. This is a testament to the expertise and innovative approach that Inovis brings to the table in meeting the needs of our customers,” noted Ilaria Derr, president and chief operating officer for Inovis. “We understand that UCCnet compliance is a business critical issue for many suppliers and are committed to providing solutions that make the process fast and easy for them.”
