Based Registry and Data Synchronization Solutions
CLEVELAND, Sept. 5 /PRNewswire/ -- Advanstar Communications, Inc., today
unveiled the upcoming Frontline Solutions' Supply Chain Week symposia that
focus on the retail and consumer packaged goods industries. These symposia
provide attendees with a detailed look at standards that help optimize
effective supply chain solutions in the retail and consumer packaged goods
markets. According to AMR Research in the Retail Market Trends Report, 2001-
2003, "Retail companies, like others, are now focusing on ways to reduce
expenses. Industry standards and standard based applications are essential
for reducing the transmittal of incorrect data and associated costs throughout
the supply chain. Increasing efficiency in the supply chain with Supply Chain
Management (SCM) applications is one way to quickly achieve this goal. Larger
retail companies have already recognized the cost reduction possibilities of
SCM applications and are devoting 25 percent of their applications budget to
SCM. Midsize retailers are not far behind, dedicating 17 percent of their
budget to (supply chain management)."
