ATA - Advanced Technology Attachment Retail Services has selected LumenVox's Speech Driven Information System (SDIS SDIS Switched Digital Integrated Service (FTS2000) SDIS Speech Driven Information System SDIS Satellite Digital Imaging System (Civil Air Patrol) SDIS SIMNET Database Interchange Specification ), for its new automated merchandise ordering and shipment system servicing more than 800 field merchandising personnel.

Mike Gilson, Vice President of ATA Retail Services states, "By using a speech enabled system, our merchandisers realize significant time savings through 24-hour-a-day telephone access to information, from delivery status to new delivery days and product opportunities. The new system will enable us to continue our rapid growth and at the same time improve the efficiency of our ordering system - without adding additional staff." As part of ATA's store ordering process, merchandisers in the past visited a store on a weekly or semi-monthly basis, then called in and left a voicemail with the items that needed to be restocked. That voicemail was manually transcribed and the order then sent to a warehouse for processing. Several days later, 25-40% of merchandisers generally placed a follow-up call to learn the status of their order. Under the newly automated system, the merchandiser calls an order into the speech-enabled system, which translates their speech into text and creates a warehouse order within an hour. Once the order is shipped, a Text-to-Speech message is generated so that the merchandiser can easily confirm shipping status. The system also provides a UPS tracking number, enabling workers to easily look up the time and date the merchandise is delivered to the store. "ATA's system is a perfect example of the efficiencies created by a high quality speech enabled system that is possible for other companies," states Chris Lotspeich, Director of Marketing at LumenVox. Also, the inclusion of NeoSpeech's VoiceText product, and the development expertise of COHM Technologies, provides the complete solution that ATA requires."

The SDIS is supported by LumenVox's Speech Recognition Engine (SRE SRE Secretaría de Relaciones Exteriores (México) SRE Sex and Relationship Education SRE Serum Response Element (biochemistry) SRE Software Reliability Engineering SRe Seychelles Rupee ) and Intel telephony cards.
