Softshare to Showcase Softshare Delta at AIAG’s AUTO-TECH 99

SANTA BARBARA, CA. – September 13, 1999 – At the AUTO-TECH 99 conference in Detroit this week, Softshare will showcase Softshare Delta. Softshare Delta is a data mapping and translation application that integrates EDI documents into an enterprise’s existing line of business applications.

Softshare Delta’s ability to translate EDI documents into flat file and database formats makes it an ideal software candidate for members of the auto industry. Acting as a bridge between EDI systems and traditional MRP (Manufacture Resource Planning) and ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) systems, Delta will seamlessly integrate business operations. Using Delta, the data from incoming EDI documents can be instantly mapped to warehouse, manufacturing, or bar coding databases. As well, EDI documents can be instantly created from warehouse, manufacturing, or bar coding databases.

Mike Kittel, Sales Manager of A & R Metals, an EDI trading partner of Paccar Inc., has been using Delta to translate EDI documents to and from his Visual Manufacturing MRP application and had this to say about it: "Delta is a great software application - easy to navigate with good functional graphics … definitely in a class by itself."

Available for $3600-$5800, Softshare Delta also supports XML and HTML data formats. Its drag-and-drop interface makes mapping data elements easy while its Expression Builder allows users to incorporate functions, conditions, variables, and constants into the mapping rules.
