CAS Signs Reseller Agreement with Vision Chain; Partnership Integrates CAS Trade Funds Management Solution with Vision Chain's Delivery Engine for Multi-retailer POS and Syndicated Data.

ATLANTA -- CAS, the leading global provider of enterprise Trade Promotions Management software for the Consumer Packaged Goods industry, today announced that it signed a reseller agreement with Vision Chain, a pioneer in demand data networks and supply chain solutions for the world's largest consumer goods companies. The multi-year agreement enables CAS to provide its customers with demand-enabled trade promotion management driven by Vision Chain's point-of-sale (POS) and syndicated data repository and infrastructure.

"We've partnered with the industry's undisputed leader in demand-enabling technology to give CAS customers a competitive edge," said Johannes Dorsch, chief operating officer of CAS, "the ability to integrate normalized POS data and syndicated data on demand with trade promotion management will significantly improve our customers' capabilities for collaborative planning, prioritization of forecasting and replenishment , understanding 'out-of-stocks' and distribution voids, and avoiding end-of-season inventory build ups. Bottom line - this partnership delivers a proactive, one-of-a-kind solution to monitor trade promotions that will improve our customers' bottom line," continued Dorsch.

The partnership also enables Vision Chain to broaden its global footprint as CAS has over 180 customers in over 5 continents. "CPG companies are increasingly looking to create demand data networks that enhance existing applications," said Shawn Dolley, CEO and president at Vision Chain, "and CAS will be instrumental in quickly extending our technology to European companies. This is not only due to CAS' global presence - it also speaks to the strength of their product architecture's flexibility and ease of integration with other systems and applications," continued Dolley.

Specifically, CAS and Vision Chain will integrate their solutions to enable seamless data flow in which consumption data from Vision Chain will be passed to key CAS CPWerx applications, including Customer Planning/Forecasting, Promotion Planning, Management and Optimization, Retail Execution, Funds Management, Deduction and Payments Management. CAS will offer a joint CAS/Vision Chain solution for creating demand data networks to empower retailer collaboration for CAS' key customers.
