eZCom Lingo Is Hosted EDI Provider of Choice for Housewares Vendors
Flora Forte, Jonathan Adler and Pillivuyt streamline transactions with retail partners via easy-to-use SaaS application
ENGLEWOOD, NJ, MARCH 15, 2010 —
eZCom Software Inc., a leading Software-as-a-Service
(SaaS) provider of multi-enterprise business-to-business integration (B2Bi) solutions, announced today
that its hosted Lingo™ service is the preferred EDI choice for leading housewares vendors, such as Flora
Forte, Jonathan Adler and Pillivuyt. eZCom's Lingo is helping these companies and others improve their
supply chain operations and increase their opportunities to sell into national retail chains.
"eZCom Lingo helps Jonathan Adler meet the EDI requirements of our major department store accounts
Bloomingdale's, Nordstrom and Saks 5th Avenue," said Tracey Thomas, wholesale manager, Jonathan
Adler, creators and vendors of decorative home accessories for a happy chic home. "We built our
business selling to boutique shops, and this marks our second year needing to use EDI for shipping large
volumes to large department stores. Lingo's ease of use made it the perfect solution for us to start with,
and the application's power and management of our business process supports our dramatic growth."
As retailers large and small mandate EDI transactions as a pre-requisite to joining their supply chain,
housewares vendors are under pressure to adopt EDI whether they have the infrastructure to support it or
not. eZCom Lingo is the first enterprise level SaaS B2Bi application that gives small to mid-sized
businesses (SMBs) the tools they need to successfully manage the EDI aspects of their supply chain
process. Since Lingo is hosted, there are no expensive hardware or software investments necessary.
"eZCom Lingo's superior search and visibility tools make managing our EDI relationship with
Bloomingdale's extremely easy," said Ingerid Mohn, managing partner at Pillivuyt USA, an internationally
known provider of versatile, practical, and beautiful culinary porcelain recognized for its exceptional
quality and design. "The hosted Web-based interface enables us to access the system no matter where
we are. In addition to Lingo being a great system, eZCom's courteous and friendly customer support staff
is amazing."
"We replaced a previous EDI service with eZCom Lingo two years ago to meet Bed, Bath & Beyond's EDI
requirement," said Sean Nass, president of Flora Forte, designers and distributors of a portfolio of
branded product lines that introduce beauty and well being into customer's daily lives. "Hands down,
Lingo is the best hosted EDI offering available. It's written so that a lay person can use it and process
hundreds of documents with the click of a mouse. With the constant release of new features that make
managing our supply chain easier, eZCom clearly is passionate about helping its customers succeed."
With its large library of retailer EDI translation maps, eZCom Lingo creates a "plug and play" environment
that significantly reduces implementation time while its support for multiple translation standards and
communications protocols shields vendors from complex and confusing technologies. eZCom's Lingo
enables housewares vendors to quickly establish trading connections with retail partners, accelerate
testing and effectively manage document processing associated with exchanging production EDI
documents far quicker and less expensively than attempting to implement an in-house application.
