挑战
Sleep Innovations 是一家价值数百万美元的泡沫寝具和睡眠产品制造商，其原有的企业资源规划 (ERP) 软件面临挑战。该软件与 Sleep Innovation 的两个主要客户不兼容，导致信息交换效率低下，有时甚至无法交换。此外，该公司意识到其现有的 ERP 不足以满足公司日益增长的需求。为了满足客户日益增长的需求，Sleep Innovations 实施了 Oracle 的 JD Edwards EnterpriseOne ERP 套件。但是，其原有的 EDI 系统无法再管理公司供应链流程中所需的所有交易。这是因为现有 EDI 系统无法处理客户要求的某些 EDI 交易。
关于客户
Sleep Innovations® 是一家价值数百万美元的泡沫寝具和睡眠产品制造商。该公司生产三个全国知名的睡眠产品品牌 - Novaform、® Personal Expressions® 和 Comfort Plus®。此外，该公司还根据自有品牌计划为 Target、Sears、Kohl's、Costco 和 Overstock.com 等主要零售商生产类似产品。2007 年，该公司收购了一个由 8 家工厂组成的新部门，使其总制造地点达到 11 个。该公司的产品通过各种渠道分销，包括 OEM 工厂和零售贸易伙伴。
解决方案
Sleep Innovations 决定实施 EXTOL EDI Integrator 来管理公司供应链流程中所需的所有交易。该解决方案能够实时简化和自动化业务流程，这对 Sleep Innovations 来说非常重要。此外，EXTOL 能够提供与各种平台上的应用程序和 IT 资源集成的 EDI 协作，这对公司的持续增长至关重要。EXTOL EDI Integrator 简化了中端市场公司管理入站和出站交易的方式。例如，当 Sleep Innovations 收到入站交易（采购订单）时，EDI Integrator 会从外部客户源获取数据并将其转换为与 EnterpriseOne 兼容的格式。同样，源自 EnterpriseOne 的出站交易（发票）由 EDI Integrator 处理并转换回客户可接受的格式。

Improving Vending Machine Profitability with the Internet of Things (IoT)
The vending industry is undergoing a sea change, taking advantage of new technologies to go beyond just delivering snacks to creating a new retail location. Intelligent vending machines can be found in many public locations as well as company facilities, selling different types of goods and services, including even computer accessories, gold bars, tickets, and office supplies. With increasing sophistication, they may also provide time- and location-based data pertaining to sales, inventory, and customer preferences. But at the end of the day, vending machine operators know greater profitability is driven by higher sales and lower operating costs.

Revolutionizing Rodent Control
From pet- and child-safe traps, to touch-free and live-catch rodent control solutions, Victor continues to stay committed to producing superior products that meet the varying needs of today’s pest control professionals. And, with a long standing history supporting customers in the food processing, service, and retail settings, Victor knew that strict regulations were costing organizations thousands of dollars in excess overhead trying to manage their rodent-control solutions. Trap inspections in these environments are often difficult and time consuming, requiring personnel to manually check a trap’s status multiple times per day, amounting to over six hours of manual labor. Victor is looking for an innovative way to increase operational efficiencies with the use of technology.
