RedTail Solutions Announced Eighth Straight Year of Growth

RedTail Solutions, a provider of managed cloud services for electronic data interchange (EDI) and global data synchronization (GDS), has announced its eighth consecutive year of growth.

"Mid-sized companies that supply retail goods compete not only for product placement, but also for preferred supplier status," said Bob Gleason, RedTail's president and CEO. "Trade compliance with retailers is extremely difficult to master – especially Advance Shipping Notice (EDI 856) accuracy. Our customers know that they can rely on RedTail EDI to achieve top EDI compliance without diverting resources from their primary missions."

"RedTail EDI delivers efficiencies that are not possible with packaged software or web portal applications," Gleason continued. "Our cloud has people – EDI experts who implement trading relationships and monitor EDI transaction flow to and from our customers' accounting systems. That service level is distinctly different from and superior to technology-only providers.

The RedTail EDI outsources order-to-cash transactions for a customer. The EDI can handle invoices, orders and advanced ship notices (ASN). The company's clients include Wal-Mart, Kroger, Bed Bath & Beyond, Home Depot and others.

The EDI can integrate with other accounting software and ERP systems from vendors including Microsoft, Sage, Infor and Accountmate.

Gleason sees the applicability of managed services and EDI beyond large corporations.

"Managed cloud services make complete sense for mid-sized companies. More and more businesses see the advantage of sticking to what they do best while offloading EDI chores. We see only increasing demand for EDI, and RedTail is the only company delivering outsourced, integrated EDI to mid-sized companies with a sustainable approach that can scale for rapid growth," said Gleason. "Customers that sign on with RedTail EDI reduce total cost of operations and improve trade compliance. That's why they stay with RedTail too. Customer retention is a key to solid growth for transaction-based business models like RedTail's," he added.
