"Magic Software Enterprises (Nasdaq: MGIC), a leading provider of state-of-the-art application development technology and business solutions, announced today that it has signed a deal with Compass Group PLC, a major worldwide foodservice organization, to deliver an e-procurement solution. The e-procurement solution, which is being developed and implemented by Magic's French subsidiary at Compass Group France, will be built using Magic's award-winning business-to-business e-commerce solution, Magic eMerchant. The new application is expected to become operational in June 2000."
"The e-procurement solution being developed by Magic for Compass Group will provide the company an intranet data infrastructure to better manage and follow the procurement of food in each restaurant. The objective is to streamline the flow of business between national buyers, providers and local unit managers in order to increase productivity, equalize pricing and raise overall order quality."
"To be called, "Intranet Mercuriales," it will include the ability to build a providers network in which price lists can be negotiated on a regional level and regional product catalogs can be generated. In addition, it will allow local unit managers to create their own catalogs containing information on product preferences,
product turnover, special restrictions and conditions, required authorizations, etc. To ensure the consistency of the overall system, the new Magic solution will be integrated with Compass Group's existing Oracle ERP."
