Intermec Puts Some Fizz Into Dubai Refreshments Company with Their Sales Automation Solution For release: 8th November 2004 High resolution pictures available from editorial contact EDITORIAL CONTACT: Jo Gay NettResults Media Relations +971 4 331 1593 [email protected] Intermec puts some fizz into Dubai Refreshments Company with their Sales Automation solution • Intermec 700 mobile computers to be used across DRC fleet of more than 100 vehicles • Fully arabised route accounting and sales van delivery application software to be utilised • Solution to improve the streamlining of DRC supply chain Dubai, UAE, 8th November, 2004 - Intermec Technologies, announced that they have been selected to supply the Dubai Refreshments Company (DRC), with a total Van Sales and Route Accounting solution. DRC are the sole bottlers and distributors in Dubai and the Northern Emirates of over 15 beverages, including Pepsi, 7UP, Miranda, Mountain Dew, Shani & Aquafina. The Intermec solution includes the provision of Intermec 700 mobile computers, 6820 Printers as well as a fully arabised RoutePro32 software, Intermec’s market leading van sales and route accounting software. The solution will be implemented throughout Dubai and the Northern Emirates. Tony Nasr, Intermec UAE Area Manager commented “We were selected by DRC because of our proven Middle East installed base and track record. We understand the business issues of managing large distribution fleets and mobile sales; we’ve successfully deployed systems for many of the world’s leading fast moving consumer brands as well as many of the leading brands in the Middle East”. He continued “Add to that the superlative performance of RoutePro32 Software, running on what is now recognised as the industry’s leading mobile computer, combine it with the availability of local hardware and software support, and you come up with the best possible solution for DRC i.e. Intermec!” With more than 100 distribution trucks supplying around 12,000 outlets in the UAE, it is essential that DRC are able to manage the data collected from their mobile operations as efficiently as possible. Implementation of the solution will enable DRC to improve the streamlining of their supply chain. ”Our supply chain cannot function properly unless it has accurate and timely data on which to base decisions” stated GV Rao, IT Manager for DRC “the effect of inaccurate data can be costly, it can lead to lost sales from out-of-stocks or excess product which will eventually spoil and have to be thrown away" . General Manager for DRC, Alan Salem stated 'Our bottling technology and product range has experienced enormous growth since we were established some 4 decades ago. With this growth more demands have been made on our Sales, Distribution and Finance departments. The Intermec solution will enable us to gain better visibility and control of our sales force, giving us tighter control on cash collections and on receivables. We will have a faster competitive readiness to pricing and promotions, allowing us to respond to the market through targeted and specific customer and product marketing programmes” .He continued “The solution will provide more effective management of Key ‘Performance Indicators’ such as the number and type of products sold by customer per route, which is of vital importance within our industry”. Mirnah Technology Systems, an Intermec Premier Solutions Partner for the Middle East, will deliver DRC with a comprehensive software and hardware support scheme, from their new Dubai sales and support centre. Intermec will work with both Mirnah & DRC to ensure provision of the best possible service. Intermec & Mirnah have a long established and successful partnership, with Mirnah having extensive experience in deploying Intermec solutions for numerous food & beverage and general consumer goods distribution companies. They are providing their RoutePro32 software, which is the region’s leading route accounting and sales van delivery application software package and now has an installed base of thousands of users. RoutePro32 will be utilised by DRC in a fully Arabised version. Colin Summers, Intermec Regional Manager for the Middle East concluded “DRC are operating within an extremely fast moving market, where their competitive landscape is changing rapidly. With their market leading approach DRC will be able to successfully use our solution to achieve real ROI by improving their operations and supply chain management, ensuring they maintain their no. 1 position in the region. We’re extremely pleased and excited to be working with such a market leader”. ends 700 series colour mobile computer Intermec’s 700 series colour mobile computer with Microsoft Windows Powered Pocket PC combines the processing power of Intel XScale with application software to reduce labour costs and increase drivers’ efficiency by connecting them to the rest of the enterprise.

  • What Have I Learned? William E
    Journal of Business Case Studies – First Quarter 2006 Volume 2, Number 1 What Have I Learned? William E. Matthews, William Paterson University E.J. (Roy) Knaus, (Email: [email protected]), William Paterson University Do you remember our old marketing professor? What did we call him? "Tumbleweed" … that was it because he always looked as if rolled across the prairie somewhere. He was good. One of the things I learned from him was that you should always ask questions. "You never know less than when you started," was his favorite saying. We'll over the last few days, I have asked a lot of questions. And my question is: what have I learned? It was Tuesday evening in April 2003 and Peter Caswell and his good friend, Alan Dawes, were having a well-earned latte at the local Starbuck's. This was their regular racket ball night and they had played together virtually every Tuesday since they were roommates in college. Peter continued: As I mentioned a couple of weeks back, I received a call from a guy who does business brokerage with the information that the Brustlin Bottling Company for sale. I knew Tom Brustlin when I worked for my father. He's a nice guy but he must be in his late seventies now. So, I guess he's retiring and putting the business up for sale. Anyway, I went out and took a look at it. It is old but perfectly functional. And I think he's take $250,000 for it. So, I did some research on the bottling industry and also made calls to a number of local bottlers to get a feel for what's going on in the industry.
