Adesso Expands its Solution to Top Food Service Companies

Arlington Heights, Il (February 6, 2006) - Adesso Solutions, LLC. announced that Solo Cup Operating Corporation of Highland Park, IL will implement Adesso's entirely web-based Trade Promotion Management (TPM) application with enhanced reporting features to administer its trade promotion programs for their customer base. This newly created partnership will provide Solo Cup with improved program tracking and enhanced reporting for its management and field sales teams.

Solo Cup will benefit from the audited program approval and payment request processes in Adesso and will meet their internal audit and Sarbanes-Oxley mandates. The Adesso TPM solution is known in the industry as the easiest to use by field sales and business administrators and has been SAS 70 certified to meet all auditing standards.

Nightly import and export batch routines will quickly and effortlessly keep both their Adesso and ERP application up-to-date with the latest customer, product, and invoice information. Users will have access to customer performance tracking on a daily basis within the application and through reporting. The integrated payment functionality in Adesso will automate the settlement with distributors and will provide results for post program analysis and financial management reporting.

Solo Cup will experience reporting brought to the next level while using the Adesso Analytical module. In addition to providing reports in Tabular, Matrix, and Chart styles, standard presentation formats include HTML, HTML w/ Office Web Components, Excel, Web Archive, Adobe Acrobat, CSV, and XML File with Report Data imbedded. Users will be able to drill-through summary program data, down to the customer level to view detailed customer statements quickly and easily. The Document Map in the Adesso Analytical reports will allow the users to quickly navigate through a multi-level report, and open / collapse data within the report eliminating their current process of running multiple reports that tie up system resources at key period ends. Reports can be generated On-Demand or on a subscription basis in response to a prescribed data event or time and automatically emailed. Users without access to the Adesso program can run and retrieve reports by submitting a URL with specific parameters and criteria embedded within.

Established in Chicago in 1936, Solo Cup is a global leader in the manufacture of plastic, paper, and foam foodservice products including disposable tableware and packaging. Solo Cup brands have grown to incorporate the Sweetheart, Fonda, Hoffmaster, and Lily brands, with facilities in Europe, Asia, and The Americas.

Adesso provides TPM, Forecasting, and Deduction solutions to both Retail and Food Service companies who need to manage a myriad of promotional programs, ranging from traditional retail programs, to revenue-based rebates, and growth and income programs.
