Redington chooses i2 to optimize supply chain

i2 Technologies Inc, a provider of e-business and marketplace solutions, has announced that Redington India has chosen i2's solutions to transform and optimize its supply chain process. With supply chain solutions from i2 and IBM's e-business skills, Redington will implement demand fulfillment, platform, storefront and order management tools in order to deliver exceptional customer service. 

Redington plans to address the high-volume demands of their products from their vast network of 5,000 channel partners across the country. By using i2 TradeMatrix Demand Fulfillment, Redington will be able to engage in real-time allocation planning and order management across the dealer network.

i2's solutions will help Redington's dealers compare, size and order their requirements online. The i2 TradeMatrix Platform will allow all market place participants to integrate their enterprise and back-office systems with the marketplace for end-to-end transactions throughout the supply chain.

Redington will also implement i2 TradeMatrix StoreFront, which provides a selling enterprise with the ability to seamlessly integrate all aspects of a sales cycle on the Web for customers and sales channels, both direct and indirect. i2's supply chain consultants will help Redington deploy the solution and realize tangible business benefits from the implementation.

Through a personalized user interface, customers or sales channels can locate product catalogs, place orders, make side-by-side comparisons, view the status of orders, hold items in their shopping cart for future buys, have persistent shopping lists and finally complete the payment process.
