(PR NEWSWIRE) RollerBall Announces International Dealer's Business-to-Busines
RollerBall Announces International Dealer's Business-to-Business Web Site
Addition
LOS ANGELES, Jan. 24 /PRNewswire/ -- RollerBall International Inc.
(OTC Bulletin Board: ROLL) today announced the addition of its Dealers Direct
Information Service (DDIS) to its Web site, RollerBallSkates.com. DDIS allows
International accounts, such as distributors, wholesalers, buying groups and
consortiums, and direct buying retail and hypermarket accounts, to log onto
the Company's Web site and access current information about the year 2000
product line, including all product technical specifications. The DDIS System
also features the "EZ-Info(TM) Request", which provides RollerBall's
international customers convenient interactive avenues for obtaining further
information such as: available inventory by sizes, order timing, logistics,
RollerBall's procedures and guidelines for opening up letters of credit, and
information on the RollerBall Asian-based manufacturers. DDIS and EZ-Info
will basically function as RollerBall's international Electronic Data
Interchange.
"DDIS was launched to coincide with the January and February International
trade fairs in Hong Kong, Nuremberg and Munich", says Jack Forcelledo,
RollerBall President and C.E.O. "Along with our products being on prominent
display at these shows, we wanted to provide a real time method to disseminate
information about our products, ordering procedures, factory production
timelines, order tracking and inventory availability from our Los Angeles
warehouse as well as our Asian manufacturing facilities. Now, any qualified
distributor, dealer or retailer will have access to this site, via a special
URL, and receive information instantly via the Internet, rather than waiting
for catalogs or mailings. Plus, the information will always be current."
Mr. Forcelledo continues, "This is our Company's first step in providing a
comprehensive, Internet based 'Business to Business' solution for our retail
accounts. In the near future, all of the information that a dealer needs to
investigate our product line, inquire about model availability, order and then
track the order will be available in real time, online. Stage two will be to
add the domestic side of the site including inventory inquiry and order
management for our US dealers. We are extremely excited about the
implementation of DDIS as it will be an expedient and extremely cost effective
way to communicate and service the needs of our dealers and distributors."

including Dunham's, MVP Sports, G. I. Joe's and selected Jumbo Sports stores.
