Kaman Industrial Technologies Selects FullTilt to Provide Product Information Management (PIM) Solutions to Optimize Supply Chain Processes


FullTilt's Perfect Product Suite(TM) Will Improve Collaboration both Internally and between Kaman and their Trading Partners to Help Drive Efficiencies, Reduce Time to Market and Support Growth Initiatives

Wayne, PA. (August 31, 2006) - FullTilt Solutions, Inc., a leading provider of enterprise Product Information Management (PIM) solutions, today announced that Kaman Industrial Technologies, Corp. has selected FullTilt's Perfect Product Suite(TM) to provide a product master data management (MDM) solution to support company wide processes for the collection, management and communication of product information and pricing throughout the company and with external trading partners.

"FullTilt is an important component in our strategy to create a centralized product information repository to help increase Kaman's ability to provide industry leadership with our kamanDirect.com e-commerce program" said Carlos Ingram, vice president, business systems for Kaman Industrial Technologies. "We found FullTilt's Perfect Product Suite to be the richest functional product with the necessary scalability."

Internet-enabled purchasing requires the aggregation, rationalization and normalization of incompatible, inconsistent and error-prone product data. FullTilt will help Kaman to transform product data and optimize business processes.

"We've been very impressed with FullTilt's understanding of our product information needs," Ingram added. "FullTilt worked closely with the Kaman team to extend the FullTilt commercial product offering to provide very sophisticated tiered pricing specific to individual trading partners. We believe that this will provide great value to Kaman."

"Managing product information has been a daunting task for the distribution industry given the lack of standards and the need to identify millions of products needed by thousands of customers using many different purchasing practices," says FullTilt President Bob Moyer. "FullTilt's Perfect Product Suite will play an important role in helping Kaman optimize collaboration with their trading partners and to synchronize that product information throughout their supply chain."

Forrester Research's Report "Product Information Management Leaders Emerge" ranked FullTilt's Perfect Product Suite as the market's top Product Information Management solution. The software automates the internal and external data collaboration and synchronization processes necessary to eliminate conflicting item definitions, outdated item information, duplicates and other errors contained in multiple enterprise databases and applications.
