AUTOCRIB ANNOUNCES ITS PARTNERSHIP WITH AFFILIATED DISTRIBUITORS
Santa Ana, CA - AutoCrib, Inc. has joined Affiliated Distributors service provider program effective immediately. Additionally, Affiliated Distributors has selected AutoCrib as its exclusive supplier for all of its members "point of use dispensing" and "integrated supply" software needs. Steve Pixley, President of AutoCrib, stated that AutoCrib's broad product offering coupled with the AutoCrib.net platform is a natural for an organization like AD. The combined efforts of many like minded distributors working together on one technology platform will allow AD members to significantly increase their chances to win large "multi plant" integrated supply agreements. V.P. Sales & Marketing, Bruce Weaver, remarked that AutoCrib has installations in many of the world's largest manufacturing companies, however increasing the penetration throughout these organizations from the viewpoint of a local distributor has been challenging. Affiliated Distributors large network will allow us to assure these large clients that we have the distribution replenishment capability to handle their plants over a large geographical area.
AutoCrib also offers AutoCrib.net, giving users the ability to manage the system from a secure website while eliminating the need for AutoCrib's traditional client/server based software package and its associated maintenance. The system uses data synchronization; transactions at the machine level are updated at the website and updates from the website are also reflected at any machine constantly. "AutoCrib.net provides the ability to manage inventory at a corporate level. Users have total inventory visibility from the bin level, all the way to an enterprise wide view. Information detailed in the reports menu promotes item sharing among different plants and the ability to consolidate purchases." said Bruce Weaver, V.P. Sales & Marketing.
AutoCrib President, Steve Pixley also commented "The new system will open up the point-of-use market to many smaller businesses. This is especially true for companies who want to take advantage of our system's many benefits, but were having difficulty cost justifying the up front expense of a client/server software license. In many cases, AutoCrib.net can reduce the initial system investment by as much as 50%."
