RedTail Adheres to Customers' Needs

Because RedTail's customers are mid-sized manufacturers and distributors, conducting businesswith large global trading partners like The Home Depot, Costco and Wal-Mart is daunting andrequires a unique set of skills.

"EDI is a very complex and costly technology for mid-sized companies to maintain in-house,especially during this tough economic climate. By handling the entire EDI process for ourcustomers, we enable them to focus on their core business requirements. They do not have toworry about compliance issues with trading partners or maintaining complex IT solutions," saidBob Gleason, RedTail's president and CEO. "Our Managed Services solution is uniquelydesigned to scale to each customer's needs, whether it is growing as their EDI volumes increaseor ratcheting down as their EDI volumes decrease during lean times."

RedTail's Managed Services solution offers the flexibility needed to help its customers navigatetoday's challenging economic environment in a way that does not jeopardize their ability to scaleas the economy rebounds, including:

• Replacing Lost Customers:As supplier sales teams land new customers to replaceretailers going out of business, it's imperative to quickly enable electronic commerce.RedTail handles all EDI and GDS connections quickly so business can flow seamlessly.

• Loss of Business:As orders and revenue decline, RedTail's "pay-per-transaction" modelenables customers to cut costs by paying only for those EDI transactions processed.

• Compliance:When consumer demand decreases, retailers tend to impose more stringenttrade compliance demands on suppliers. RedTail's EDI and GDS solutions sustain highcompliance levels, minimizing chargebacks imposed on suppliers.
