Business news : Leading Motorcycle Parts Manufacturer Selects ARI to Connect Dealer and Distributor Network Worldwide

Solution Will Help Manufacturer Increase Sales, Improve Customer Satisfaction and Streamline Operations

MILWAUKEE, WI – July 30, 2013 –  ARI Network Services (OTCBB:ARIS), a leading provider of website, software, and data solutions that help dealers, distributors, and manufacturers Sell More Stuff!™, announced today that a leading manufacturer in the powersports industry has selected ARI to build a web-based dealer and distributor portal.

“ARI’s solution will allow this manufacturer of high performance aftermarket parts to more effectively manage its distribution channel while improving customer satisfaction and increasing sales,” said Roy W. Olivier, President and Chief Executive Officer of ARI.

The manufacturer was seeking a web-based solution to facilitate dealer and distributor order management worldwide. ARI will provide the manufacturer, its dealers, and distributors with self-service order entry, status reports and message boards. The solution will be integrated with their ERP so users will have access to real-time product availability. Prior to choosing ARI, the manufacturer depended on multiple on-premise solutions that would not scale to meet its growth objectives.

“ARI has proven industry knowledge, breadth of experience and expertise in deploying integrated eCommerce and order fulfillment systems. This solution will scale to meet the manufacturer’s future needs and allow it to efficiently conduct business globally,” added Olivier.
