New automation, recruitment and search functionality drives latest Tentoe launch Simplified product launch features the centerpiece of latest SKU Launcher and SKU Finder products Pleasanton, CA :: October 20, 2005 Pleasanton, CA— (October 20, 2005) — Tentoe, Inc., a leading software service connecting products to channels, announced the launch of its new version. The latest Tentoe offering brings additional functionality to SKU Launcher, a solution for manufacturers to deliver and communicate with channels, and SKU Finder, a solution that allows channels to easily acquire content and communicate with manufacturers. The new SKU Launcher introduces an intuitive and highly customizable product announcement and recruitment feature, Partner Communication Center. The new feature allows manufacturers to upload channel contacts, create customized emails announcing new products and customized landing pages designed to encourage acquisition of new content. “New products are just a click away for channels thanks to this new feature,” says Tom Fristoe, Chief Executive Officer at Tentoe. “By making it easier to connect manufacturer product information to channels, Tentoe increases site stickiness and revenue potential.” SKU Launcher has also added Product Launcher, a feature that makes it easier for manufacturers to identify new products to its channels. Used in concert with the Partner Communication Center feature, manufacturers dramatically increase exposure to their preferred channels. SKU Finder, for channels (etailers, distributors, resellers), also has new enhancements. The first, Image Search, makes it easier to search and retrieve manufacturer images. The new search functionality includes vendor name, product name, part number or SKU. If an image is not found, the channel partner can request it from the manufacturer. And for added convenience, channel partners can queue up desired images and Tentoe will deliver the images to an FTP server for easy download. Channels now have instant access to the latest product releases from their preferred manufacturers through the Recently Launched Products feature in SKU Finder. All products launched within the past 14 days are showcased in this window and also have a “new release” icon next to the product listing in the Tentoe online product catalog.
