They want a platform that's proven, but they also want to leverage the innovative new capabilities we've been building into the VMI process. This recognition is evidence that our customers are, in fact, achieving their goals of closer relationships with their retailers, improved service, increased scalability and reduced operating costs using the Datalliance platform."
