Numeric Computer Systems, Inc. (NCS), the leading developer of
applications supporting the “Order to Cash” process for Direct
Store Delivery (DSD), announced that they are releasing eRMS,
the e-business edition of the Route Management System (RMS), its
flagship host product. eRMS delivers comprehensive back office
support for the Route Trade Distribution industry.
“eRMS
delivers an open solution to DSD manufacturers – it runs on the
manufacturer’s choice of server with their choice of user
interface – Web browser, Windows or text,” said Robert Hochberg,
President of New York-based NCS. “The product adapts directly
into existing back-end SCM and ERP systems and provides robust
Order to Cash facilities, including secure e-business
transactions directly with the manufacturer’s database. The
advanced design allows easy integration that is needed in an
enterprise environment. It is an open, scalable and flexible
solution.”
NCS
partnered with LANSA Inc., a leading development environment for
e-business and wireless solutions to develop eRMS. In addition
to delivering powerful Web and XML integration capabilities as
well as platform independency, LANSA supports dozens of
languages, including double-byte character sets, giving
independent software vendors a true global e-business solution.
“Customer-centric DSD companies must be able to handle orders or
inquiries efficiently regardless of the method they’re
received,” said Bill Benjamin, vice president of business
development at LANSA. “eRMS integrated to back-office ERP or
Supply Chain Management Systems results in a faster sales
process and a happier customer. eRMS is one of the most exciting
solutions developed with LANSA that we have seen, and we are
very excited about its potential.”
