Acosta Joins UCCnet
LAWRENCEVILLE, N.J. - UCCnet has announced that Acosta Sales and Marketing, a leading full-service sales and marketing agency in North America that provides outsourced sales, merchandising, marketing, and promotional services to manufacturers in the consumer packaged goods (CPG) industry, will begin implementing the organization's item registration and data synchronization services.
The subscription allows Acosta to receive data from manufacturers that is consistent with the information provided to UCCnet and retailers. Acosta will begin implementing UCCnet's standards-based services in stages during 2003, using VeriSync Trade Solutions - a certified UCCnet alliance partner.
"UCCnet will provide our clients with a single method for distribution of information to retailers and sales agents, said Gary Chartrand," Acosta's chairman-CEO. "Additionally, UCCnet will allow for an automated and electronic transfer of information versus the current process of manual paper transactions which add additional costs to our industry's supply chain and lead to inaccurate data. By subscribing to UCCnet we will ensure that Acosta, retailers and manufacturers are all working from the same information."
