Radley's Synergy/DE-based hosted EDI solution certified by Honda
SOUTHFIELD, Mich. and GOLD RIVER, Calif., March 15, 2006—Radley Corporation, a leading provider of business-to-business e-commerce and automated data collection solutions for manufacturers, has announced that their Synergy/DE-based hosted EDI solution has been certified by automobile giant Honda Corporation.

Based on Synergy/DE, Radley's Honda Certified solution, iCARaS, meets all of Honda of America Manufacturing's EDI, barcode labeling, shipping, and scanning requirements as outlined in the Honda North America Logistics "Blue Book" Implementation Requirements manual. A complete turnkey solution that is maintained and supported by a single vendor, Radley's hosted solution will provide Honda suppliers a guaranteed compliant application without having to install or maintain software on their internal systems. The preconfigured EDI translation software, Honda-specific functionality, telephone support, and premium software update service are available for a single monthly subscription price. The solution can be appended to provide complete end-of-line labeling and traceability features, offering suppliers instant access to serial and lot numbers when researching production issues.

"Since iCARaS is a certified Honda solution, the hosted application allows any size supplier to become certified with Honda for EDI, bar-code scanning and label printing, and shipping requirements with no installation and no software to manage, “ states Tim Bunker, Radley’s manager in charge of new development. “The Synergex tools we've always used allowed us to migrate to a hosted solution with minimal code and application design changes."

The hosted solution enables subscribers to integrate the Radley products into their manufacturing and order entry applications using XML and Web services. Radley's hosted e-commerce solutions use the latest Synergy/DE technologies, including xfServerPlus with xfNetLink .NET for Web service calls and with xfNetLink COM for the Active Server Pages (ASP) user interface. They also use the Synergy HTTP document transport API for trading partner communications.
