Answerthink, Inc. (NASDAQ: ANSR), announced today that
EzDistribution�, an SAP� All-in-One solution, has been qualified as
an offering for Wholesale Distribution companies. The qualification
allows Answerthink to provide an SAP solution that includes
functionality specifically for growing Wholesale Distribution
companies. Answerthink�s EzDistribution solution enables wholesale
distributors to meet their fundamental business and IT challenges.
EzDistribution is a pre-packaged SAP solution that streamlines
sales order management, sourcing, procurement, warehouse logistics,
and inventory management operations with capability to monitor
financial performance. This solution allows distributors to
recognize these benefits with a predictable, low-cost SAP
investment. Answerthink is experienced with the new solution in the
Wholesale Distribution marketplace. One of the many wholesale
distributor customers is New Jersey based, M. Tucker, a
family-owned food wholesaler. M. Tucker is one of the largest
eastern seaboard independent distributors and has a warehouse
facility of over 170,000 square feet. M. Tucker realizes the power
of SAP with the benefits of EzDistribution. According to Jim Bopp,
CIO of M. Tucker, "The core distribution functionality built into
SAP allowed us to address nearly every aspect of our business
within the scope of a single project. From simple order entry to
complex pricing agreements, warehouse management, vendor and
customer rebates � we got it all done in phase one. The Answerthink
approach allowed us to really focus our time and energy on the
parts of our business that are truly unique, rather than
re-inventing the wheel." John McGrath, Answerthink SAP Solutions
Group Managing Director states, "We are excited to build on the
success of our SAP All-In-One LifeScience solutions with the
release of our EzDistribution All-In-One solution for small to
medium distributors. Through our EzLifeScience� solutions, we have
demonstrated that an SAP solution is within the reach of a
mid-market customer base who might not normally evaluate an SAP
solution. With our distribution SAP All-In-One solution, we aim to
take our extensive knowledge and skills to serve customers in this
market segment.� SAP All-in-One solutions are industry-specific
