ISN Deploys Jagged Peak's EDGE Solution to Deliver Perfect Orders for Major Automotive Client
TAMPA, Fla., Oct. 17, 2005 -- Jagged Peak, Inc. (BULLETIN BOARD: JGPK) , a Demand Management solutions provider, today announced the successful deployment of an online integrated order management solution for Integrated Supply Network, Inc. (ISN) of Lakeland, Fla.
ISN, a wholesale distributor of automotive tools, equipment and supplies, won a major contract with one of the big three Detroit Automakers in June to supply automotive tools and equipment products to their dealers nationwide. The company chose Jagged Peak's EDGE web-based software application to enable the dealers in over 2000 U.S. dealerships to order tools and equipment online. The EDGE application allows ISN to quickly and accurately process customer orders, streamline fulfillment processes, and manage inventory in a totally web-based environment. To further support the dealers, the Jagged Peak solution included the development of an integrated call center portal. This enables the ISN customer care team the ability to capture, process, and provide order disposition and product information in virtually real-time.
"The minute we received notification of the contract, we requested solution proposals from several national software firms to provide a web-based solution that would enable us to deliver perfect orders to our client," said Scott Pilkenton, Vice President of Marketing for ISN. "Jagged Peak's EDGE application was evaluated against the other solutions and was found to be superior in every way. It gave us the breadth and depth of functionality we needed, seamlessly integrated with our legacy systems, and easily configured to support complex demand-related business processes and rules."
Jagged Peak built, tested and deployed ISN's solution within 45 days -- on time and on budget.
"When ISN approached us for a solution, they had just landed a major automotive manufacturer contract," said Paul Demirdjian, CEO of Jagged Peak. "It was made clear to us what was at stake and the importance of having a perfectly working solution from the start. One of the challenges was we had to deliver the solution within a very short timeframe. This required close collaboration between our respective IT groups. We are, of course, pleased to report and proud of the fact that we delivered the solution on time and on budget. EDGE now allows ISN to deliver perfect orders without exception, every time."
