Leading Plumbing Industry Supplier Selects Datalliance for VMI Expertise,
Industry Experience, and Customer Support
CINCINNATI--(Business Wire)--
Datalliance, the leading independent supplier of Vendor Managed Inventory (VMI)
services, today announced that Watts Water Technologies, Inc. (Watts), a leading
supplier of an extensive line of valves and related flow control products, has
selected Datalliance VMI as the platform for their plumbing industry Vendor
Managed Inventory program. Watts has worldwide sales over $1 Billion and
supplies the water quality, residential plumbing and heating, commercial and OEM
markets.

"We selected Datalliance, because of their VMI expertise and experience working
with wholesalers in the plumbing industry," stated Randy Lambert, VP Logistics,
Watts Water Technology. "Their focus on VMI and their dedicated implementation
and customer support resources was important to us. They will be able to help us
and our customers through the implementation process in the shortest and most
efficient manner. Datalliance`s ability to adapt VMI to achieve our specific
business objectives was also a critical element in our decision process."

Tom Hoar, Director of Sales - Plumbing Industry, Datalliance, said, "We welcome
Watts Water Technologies to the growing number of plumbing industry suppliers
that have selected Datalliance VMI to move their VMI programs to the next level.
Many plumbing suppliers have seen the potential value of VMI through limited
implementations of in-house VMI systems. These systems typically are not
cost-effective and are not easily rolled out to a broad range of customers. In
the plumbing industry, over 60% of our new Datalliance VMI customers are
switching over from in-house VMI systems to reduce their total cost of ownership
and expedite their implementation to a broader range of customers."
