GA eXpress has announced that it will enable Relco Corporation, a Kansas-based wholesale distributor of speciality automotive after-market accessories, to launch a comprehensive eBusiness strategy.
Relco will use GA eXpress’ eTools™ XML (eXtensible Markup Language) and eTools OLE DB to share data with trading partners using different software platforms via the Internet, allowing the company to engage in business-to-business eCommerce.
“GA eXpress’ eTools XML and eTools OLE DB enable us to better service our customers, while more efficiently working with suppliers and other partners,” said Alise Miner, Relco’s director of information technology.
“We carry more than 60,000 SKUs of automotive accessories and can special order another one million SKUs from our suppliers. By utilizing eTools XML and eTools OLE DB, our customers as well as our sales staff will be able to access data on our product offerings in seconds.”
Relco’s long-standing relationship with GA eXpress was another factor in Miner’s decision to utilise eTools as part of its eCommerce solution. “GA eXpress has been our partner for years and provided us with outstanding products and service. After carefully considering all alternative strategies, we opted for GA eXpress’ eTools. Not only did the company have the best solution for bringing our business into the 21st century, but experience shows us we can rely on GA eXpress to provide us with continual feedback and responsive support.”
According to Jane Christie, GA eXpress president and chief executive officer, “We’re proud to provide Relco a path to build an industry-compliant foundation for migrating critical business information to the Internet seamlessly. eTools XML is based on an industry-standard technology that is forming the backbone of business-to-business eCommerce.”
