Building on its long standing relationship with Inovis Catalogue™, the retail industry's premier centralized repository of product information, Goody's will also migrate to Inovis' next-generation VAN. The new network provides a powerful engine for end-to-end control and visibility of business-to-business (B2B) transactions and trading partner relationships. In addition, the new Inovis VAN offers an innovative customer portal. Inovisworks.net serves as the single interface for all Inovis interactions, providing round-the-clock customer support for all of Inovis' offerings, including VAN and managed services as well as software solutions.

Rounding out the complete Inovis platform, Goody's has purchased BizManager™ BizLink™, a comprehensive B2B gateway solution for enterprise business-to-business integration (B2Bi), messaging and connectivity. The combined resources of these Inovis solutions enable Goody's to meet its data synchronization needs, ensure seamless communication with its global trading community and drive improved supply chain efficiency.

"In order to best serve our customers, we strive to lead the industry in efficient business operations," said James Walker, Director Quick Response, Goody's. "Partnering with Inovis to maintain data integrity and enhance relationships across our trading community are mission critical elements of that strategy. We chose Inovis as our preferred provider based on the proven reliability of its solutions, its deep retail industry expertise, and the company's ability to provide Goody's with a complete end-to-end solution."

"We offer our customers a rich portfolio of solutions to manage the flow of critical e-commerce information for global trading communities," said Mike Croxton, Inovis' senior vice president of marketing and product management. "Inovis is one of the only integration vendors that can provide all of the technology and services necessary to implement a truly 'any-to-any' commerce platform. Goody's decision to select Inovis as their primary B2B provider, demonstrates their commitment and confidence in the reliability of our solutions."
