13 Customer Success We used to look at EDI as a cost center but now see it as the means to drive business efficiency and save resources John Perrin, Director of IT Distributor of food products and equipment to convenience stores throughout the Midwest Farner-Boken needed a way to aggregate customer point-of-sales data for analysis, reporting and replenishment, without creating and maintaining RPG programs. After solving their point-of-sales data integration problem, Farner-Boken used the EXTOL solution for integration of order-to-cash transactions with customers and vendors. Farner-Boken values their ability to integrate multiple document formats and types for multiple systems, using EXTOL Business Integrator

14 Customer Success After implementing EXTOL, we can now process orders and invoices in any format thru an integrated process that best suits us Stuart Macklin IT Manager Food service distributor with over 12,000 national brand and private label products. Delivers product to restaurants and also operates a chain of more than 100 retail stores. GFS acquired EXTOL Business Integrator to replace custom-coded integration with non- EDI trading partners. GFS now integrates a wide range of document types without coding, and has eliminated their non-edi integration backlog.

15 Customer Success We are able to on-board new trading partners in hours, not days Dovia Flagg, EDI Analyst Independent foodservice distributor, operating in the Northeast, with annual revenues approaching $3 billion Provides food products, supplies, and equipment to restaurants, educational and healthcare institutions, and other businesses. Originally acquired EXTOL Business Integrator in response to a request from a large customer to exchange and integrate proprietary XML order-to-cash transactions Also used the EXTOL solution as part of a project to rehost and reintegrate their enterprise applications

16 Customer Success We initially purchased EXTOL as a single source tool to aggregate the variety data which drives our fuel purchases. The success of that project enticed us to extend the use of EXTOL for a myriad of integration projects in merchandising and inventory replenishment Jim Xenos, VP-CIO $17B operator of travel stops and convenience stores with 290 locations in 39 US states. Love s fuel services division originally acquired EXTOL Business Integrator to access and integrate multiple sources of fuel pricing data for a predictive analytics application. Love s retail division has since used the EXTOL solution for integration of vendors using EDI and non-edi document formats. The ability to automate manual data entry for 1800 small suppliers will enable Love s to redeploy 5 people and improve the accuracy and speed of vendor interactions.
