The selection of Edict by these outstanding newspapers is an exceptional achievement in the emerging and rapidly growing market of scan-based trading, according to Mike Bevis, President of Edict Systems. He adds: "This wide recognition of Edict's innovative services allows our growing company to showcase our expanding suite of solutions and increase our strong customer base." Edict's solution delivers point of sale data immediately to suppliers thus improving billing accuracy and payment reconciliation. The technology also boosts efficiency by eliminating the need to have stock checked-in when delivered to the store. Since store check-out sales are recorded and analyzed daily, next day's deliveries can be adjusted to better meet the store's actual needs. Alliances such as these, meeting the unique requirements of both suppliers and retailers, offer Edict Systems new avenues for growth and expansion. Edict's Web EDI solutions increase productivity as well as save time and money for suppliers, manufacturers and retailers. About Scan-Based Trading: Scan-based Trading (SBT) is rapidly becoming a leading-edge solution to the critical supply chain needs of the retail and grocery industries. With SBT, suppliers retain ownership of their products until the product is scanned at the register. Retailers provide their suppliers with daily scan data that enables them to better plan their deliveries. This initiative almost instantaneously reduces the cost of doing business with suppliers who deliver directly to the store. Studies involving retailers using SBT indicate significant reductions in invoice deductions, increases in sales for both retailers and suppliers, improved shrink control, and measurable time savings for both store staff and suppliers' delivery personnel by eliminating check- ins.
