New Composite Applications To Improve Demand Forecasting and Streamline Order Fulfilment Processes
THAILAND and MONROVIA, December 14, 2004 — SeeBeyond (Nasdaq: SBYN), provider of the world’s first fully integrated composite application network (SeeBeyond ICAN) for advanced integration and composite applications solutions, today announced that Thai Yamaha Motor, one of the largest manufacturers and distributors of motorcycles in Thailand, has chosen SeeBeyond’s eGate? Integrator, eVision? Studio and eInsight? Business Process Manager — all components of the SeeBeyond ICAN 5 Suite. The products were selected to automate data exchange among the Company’s extensive dealer network and to deploy new Web-based composite applications to achieve better sales forecasting, production planning and customer service.
“Customer Service is our number one priority. In order to serve our customers and dealer network well, we needed accurate and up-to-date information to make critical production and supply decisions,” said Mr. Charlie Kasuwan, Information Support Manager, Thai Yamaha Motor. “We required a solution that would automate our business processes easily and enable us to work collaboratively with our dealer partners. Timely and accurate information was key. We wanted an accurate snapshot of demand, production and inventory levels at any moment in time.”
Thai Yamaha Motor will use SeeBeyond’s solutions to achieve tighter integration with the dealers’ business systems. By enabling automatic and accurate data exchange with dealers, it eliminates the need for dealers to manually input stock movement and sales data, which greatly improves accuracy and timeliness.
Going beyond data integration, Thai Yamaha Motor will be leveraging SeeBeyond’s ICAN 5 Suite to build Web-based composite applications to enable dealers and Thai Yamaha Motor’s sales and production teams to work collaboratively on sales forecasting, stock replenishment, production planning and customer service. These critical functions streamline and increase the efficiency of Thai Yamaha Motor’s business operations.
Mr. Kasuwan added, “After going through an extensive evaluation process, we chose the SeeBeyond suite because it enabled the rapid development of composite applications needed to automate our workflow and business processes. SeeBeyond provided a versatile integration backbone for sharing our critical data in real time among our dealers, departments and business systems. Now we will have real-time access to information, and greater visibility into our demand chain to make informed business decisions. This greatly reduces inventory levels, maximizes sales and enhances overall customer service. SeeBeyond’s solution gives us a strong competitive edge and will allow us to position ourselves well for future growth.”
Kevin O’Reilly, Vice President, SeeBeyond Asia Pacific said, “Many Asian companies still rely on manual or paper-based business processes. Thai Yamaha Motor’s selection of SeeBeyond ICAN 5 illustrates how leading Asian corporations can rapidly improve their bottom line by automating data flow and optimizing business processes to enable a clear path to revenue growth, reduction in inventory carrying cost and greater collaboration across the extended enterprise.”
The SeeBeyond ICAN 5 Suite is a proven solution that helps global companies enable a single view of information across the enterprise, from sales and marketing to production. For more information about the SeeBeyond ICAN 5 Suite, please visit http://www.seebeyond.com/software/ican.asp.
