Revenue Up 40% at Transalis

Transalis, the leading provider of global OpenEDI and freeVAN EDI solutions, announced continued revenue growth up 40 percent on its previous year in its interim 2010 results.

The UK based company, which provides web-based and integrated OpenEDI Managed Service supply chain solutions to high street brands and SMEs, welcomed many new brand customers and provided innovative new services to existing customers. Growth was attributed to increased take-up of Transalis SaaS (Software as a Service) and Cloud service offerings, adding customers including sports brand Mitre Sports, award winning British product design company Grey Technology, British clothing brand TM Lewin, and global audio brand Bowers & Wilkins.

Aniello Sabatino, Director, Transalis solutions, commented on the company’s continued growth “in the current economic climate businesses are seeking major cost-savings and looking to their IT solution providers to help them realise these savings by rationalising their existing systems and removing outdated and redundant pieces of middleware in favour of solutions like Transalis SaaS and Cloud managed service solutions, and we expect this trend to increase considerably during 2010 /11.”

Continued investment in R&D to produce innovative new service offerings also increased sales revenues. Transalis is rolling out its freeVAN EDI Supply Chain service to retail organisations, to deliver EDI documents with zero VAN traffic costs. The service enables B2B (business-to-business) electronic document exchange between any trading organisations, from the largest retailers to the smallest, independent suppliers.

Transalis is expanding its Channel Partner growth in Europe generating a further 3,000 OpenEDI users during 2010/11 in sixteen countries across Europe, including new OpenEDI customer the stationery brand Helix, through Transalis channel partner, Technology Management Ltd, based in Birmingham, UK. 

Transalis also added a further 1,600 UK Garden Centres to its HEBE (Horticultural Electronic Business Exchange) service in partnership with the HTA (Horticultural Trades Association), based in Reading, UK.

Transalis also made its OpenEDI services available on iPhone and iPad, expanding its mobile business data sharing offerings, allowing business critical data to be accessed by mobile users anytime, anyplace, anywhere with the ability to integrate data with systems in fixed locations at anytime.

Reviewing Transalis expectation for 2010/11, Adam Swanson, Transalis business development, commented “The powerful combination of Transalis OpenEDI and freeVAN managed services allows large companies to trade electronically with all suppliers for 100% supply chain EDI enablement with considerably reduced costs, higher productivity and optimised processes plus managed services for web, integrated and supply chain EDI. We have an ever increasing sales pipeline proving Transalis offerings are providing what the market needs and we will continue to provide solutions to meet those needs.”
