Xelus and One Network Unite Service Parts Planning With Precise Execution Cooperative Sales and Marketing Agreement Combines Xelus Planning Solution With Incremental Decision Support Technology From One Network ROCHESTER, N.Y., Jan. 19 /PRNewswire/ -- Xelus, Inc., the leading provider of Service Parts Management and Reverse Supply Chain solutions to Global 1000 corporations, today announced it has signed a memorandum of understanding for cooperative sales and marketing with One Network Enterprises, whose network services and applications transform slow-moving supply chains into responsive supply networks. The companies will jointly promote, sell and implement their software into new and existing accounts. Xelus and One Network believe that there are significant benefits for their customers. The ability to make intelligent execution decisions, mindful of planning targets and objectives, can significantly accelerate inventory velocity and reduce cycle times. Combining the Xelus parts planning solution with One Network's Intelligent Execution Manager facilitates the convergence of planning and execution. "We firmly believe that the future state of parts planning is one where the lines between the development of the plan and its execution become blurred, making planning and execution interactive," said Ed Wodarski, VP of Marketing and Strategy at Xelus. "Our focus is to align ourselves with other world-class companies to complete that vision and provide the next plateau of benefit to our customers." "The key to great service is to start with a good plan, and then rapidly respond to real-time demand changes throughout the service parts network," said Stan Beal, VP of Industry Marketing at One Network. "One Network offers the industry's first incremental decision support technology, using business rules integrated with transaction management to react quickly to events. This way, day-to-day execution decisions support long-term plans and business objectives." About the One Network solution One Network created and hosts an internet-based supply network with many- to-many connectivity, built on next-generation technology delivered in a flexible on-demand model. Rather than simply accelerating point-to-point data exchange along a traditional linear supply chain, the One Network is a highly distributed supply network where any participant can see and react to what is happening at any point in the network. Beyond visibility, the solution integrates transaction management with execution and real-time planning. Network participants create and share multi-company business processes, and can quickly adapt them in response to changing conditions. Incremental decision support allows partners to resolve issues as they arise in real-time, and automatically guides operations towards business objectives. About One Network Enterprises, Inc.
