Axway and WebConcepts Partner to Integrate Business-to-Business, Demand Management and Replenishment Solutions

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. and LOS ANGELES, Calif. - Axway, the leading global provider of multi-enterprise solutions and infrastructure, and WebConcepts, a widely recognized provider of innovative supply chain planning and replenishment solutions, today announced an agreement to integrate WebConcepts' demand management and replenishment solutions into Axway's business-to-business (B2B) gateway and business activity monitoring (BAM) solutions. Together, they will help simplify consolidation, connection and collaboration between trading partners.

The joint solution enables trading partners to share business-critical information in a fast, safe and reliable way through Axway's industry-leading technology, while providing access to WebConcepts' advanced demand management and replenishment platform. The integrated offering includes a full range of resources necessary to meet the challenge of deploying supply chain planning and execution strategies across a critical mass of trading partners. The solutions will be available in a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) delivery model or as traditionally licensed software.

"This is another significant step for WebConcepts as we continue to build high-value supply chain planning and execution capabilities to help connect and improve collaboration between suppliers and retailers in dynamic consumer products industries," states Ray Young, Chairman of WebConcepts. "With the integration of Axway's solutions and technology, we can now accelerate the seamless integration of data between suppliers and retailers through a reasonable, pay-as-you-grow pricing model to meet today's challenging economy."

Young continues, "Under the terms of the agreement, Axway will offer programs tailored to meet various business needs, including full-service management of on-boarding initiatives and a quick-start program for fast ROI (return-on-investment). By integrating with Axway's Synchrony™ platform for supply chain visibility and the ease of enabling new partners, the joint solution will also afford cost reductions for our customers by providing better overall inventory management."

"Our agreement with WebConcepts puts both companies in a position to provide an affordable on-demand solution for complete source-to-shelf retail inventory management — from small retailers to the largest multinational manufacturers," said Christophe Fabre, CEO of Axway. "WebConcepts is the leader in retail inventory planning and replenishment automation for the home entertainment industry; together, the integration of our solutions will allow both companies to broaden our footprint in the retail consumer products marketplace."
