Sale of Channel Insight(TM) to This Global Technology Leader Will Reduce Costs and Improve Accuracy of Its Channel Point-of-Sale Marketing Efforts Through Deployment of Inventory and Special Pricing Services DENVER, July 26 /PRNewswire/ -- InfoNow Corporation, a leading provider of channel visibility and location service solutions, today announced a multi-year agreement with one of the world's largest semiconductor companies, to globally deploy InfoNow's suite of Channel Insight(TM) solutions beginning in August. The client, who provides an extensive range of optoelectronic components to customers worldwide, will utilize InfoNow Channel Insight along with InfoNow's recently released Pricing Insight(TM) module to provide timely and accurate processing of worldwide point-of-sale (POS) transactions. Channel Insight processes POS data in multiple languages from partners in North America, Europe and the Asia-Pacific regions to quickly and accurately identify customers and products sold through the channel, validate catalog and quote pricing, determine sales margins, and provide actionable reports to support channel sales and operations. "We process millions of sales transactions representing billions of annual sales dollars for our clients through Channel Insight," said Mark Geene, CEO of InfoNow. "We give them the information they need to optimize sales, marketing and channel operations. This semiconductor leader will be able to use that data to help them more accurately track special product pricing and quotes. By utilizing InfoNow's solution, they get 'commission grade' point-of-sale data to help them manage pricing, incentive and commission programs by having sales data they can trust." Since its introduction in 2002, Channel Insight has been providing accurate and timely POS and channel inventory data to companies that distribute their products through indirect sales channels. The company recently rolled out Channel Insight Release 7(TM) (Channel Insight 7), which enhances the Channel Insight solution with new functionality and makes it available to a broader range of clients by reducing implementation time and cost through a subscription-based, on-demand model. Channel Insight 7 appeals to a broad range of businesses -- whether they process millions or only thousands of transactions each month. "The robust, accurate data that Channel Insight 7 provides helps our clients to not only lower operational costs but to grow revenues as well," added Geene. "We are pleased to add this firm to our growing list of Channel Insight clients and we look forward to helping them meet their strategic objectives." InfoNow signed this agreement in the first quarter of 2006. Terms of the agreement were not disclosed.
