Data Services
A company's most valuable asset today is its data. Be it a client list, inventory system, or employee records, if this information is not easily accessible and properly maintained, your competitive advantage is diluted. The speed and efficiency with which you can access critical, accurate data can make the difference between failure and success.
Our data specialists can analyze your data and integration systems and provide a solution that will not only save you time and increase your productivity, but also help in reducing repetitive or manual tasks to allow you to focus on your core business. These solutions often involve taking greater advantage of the Internet, including transfer of information via the latest in secured XML transaction, web-service integration, secured VPN setup, or SSL-enabled FTP processing.
Regardless of the process you currently have in place, count on Contac 1to1 Logistics to help identify and implement the solution that best works for you and your business.

Customized Logistics Solutions
Contac has developed a customized inventory solution, Contac Inventory Management System (iContac), which effectively automates direct-to-store order generation and inventory management. This system, which is being used today by Safeway, Disney, and many others, is available to our clients in three ways: 1) as an ASP (application service provider) model, 2) as a stand-alone hosted application, or 3) through an integrated, shared hosting model.
- Other features of this powerful software include:
- multi-warehouse tracking and ordering
- full life-cycle order tracking
- customizable user interface
- product and recipient tiering capabilities (allotment allocation)
The underlying software is based on .NET 3.0 standards and runs MS SQL 2005, which allows for seamless integration with most enterprise applications.
iContac is "white-labeled," which allows you to design the look and feel of the interface to reflect your brand.
