Haldex Selects Datalliance VMI Solution

• VMI to help build stronger customer relationships through electronic collaboration and sharing of inventory and order information.
• Haldex is a leading supplier of components to the commercial vehicle systems industry.

Cincinnati, Ohio, October 5, 2007 - Datalliance announced today that Haldex, a leading supplier to the commercial vehicle systems industry, has selected the Datalliance Vendor Managed Inventory (VMI) Solution. Haldex is a global company headquartered in Stockholm, Sweden. Besides the headquarters, production takes place in Brazil, China, Germany, Great Britain, Hungary, India, Mexico, and the USA. Haldex had previously been using a commercially available, non-hosted system. Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) was a key factor in the decision to switch to Datalliance.

"After our experience with an 'off the shelf' solution we concluded that we needed VMI experts to help us fully realize the benefits of VMI," said Brian Long, Business Development Program Manager at Haldex. "We decided to go with Datalliance and 8 weeks later we were up and running. We really like the SaaS model because it allows us to focus on our core business while maintaining end-customer service for our products and close relationships with our key customers."

Carl Hall, President of Datalliance, stated, "We are excited to have Haldex as a Datalliance customer. Their decision to switch to Datalliance is a testament to the effectiveness of SaaS model. We look forward to working with Haldex and strengthening their ties to their distributors."
