SVCDQ...thanks Trade & SSP...more news here...worth a serious look IMO.... stockpoint.com\255u9575.htm&Mode=NEWS&Source=Comtex&Symbol=SVCDQ Opening up existing systems to the Web can pay off in other ways, too. Service Merchandise Co., a $2 billion multichannel retailer focused on jewelry and home products, spent the last year adapting dozens of business systems so they could be accessed via the company's extranet by internal buyers, external vendors, and carriers. One of the largest of these applications is Service Merchandise's new Web-based load optimizer, a technology that was previously available only to the store's own analysts. Now, the company's vendors, transportation carriers, and buyers can work collaboratively on the Web. Together, they find the most economical delivery routes between facilities. By collaboratively optimizing deliveries nationally, Service Merchandise ends up footing the bill for fewer and shorter routes. This provides enormous savings. "We have driven in excess of 10% of inbound freight costs out of our supply chain from this one application alone," says Danny Schunk, VP of IT for Service Merchandise, in Brentwood, Tenn. "That's probably up in the seven-figure range in terms of savings." seems as though the web site, which looks pretty good is going to save their bacon...may be out of chapter 11 sooner than later.... servicemerchandise.com
