Recently Established Vroozi Division to Implement Project
Valued at Approximately $1 Million in Fiscal 2012
CALABASAS, Calif., Jan. 23, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- NetSol
Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq:NTWK), a worldwide provider of global IT and
enterprise application solutions, today announced a new professional
services contract with LTC Supply Source, an emerging partner in the
long-term care industry's procure-to-pay arena based in Mesa, Ariz., to
implement the SAP purchasing platform and smartOCI Marketplace via
NetSol's Vroozi division.
Under the agreement, NetSol will assist LTC Supply Source in building a
fully automated portal using the SAP Supplier Relationship Management
platform and the smartOCI marketplace, which allows multiple facilities
and corporate offices to seamlessly connect with vendors and ancillary
service providers, as well as purchase goods and services for facility
operations. The agreement is valued at approximately $1 million, which
includes license and ongoing service fees.
"By combining our SAP professional services expertise in supply chain
and procurement technologies with our own smartOCI e-commerce
marketplace, we are able to help LTC Supply Source build upon its
leadership position in providing procurement services for the long-term
care industry," said Shaz Khan, senior vice president NetSol
Technologies, COO and co-founder of Vroozi. "We look forward to a long
and mutually beneficial relationship."
In addition, the parties have agreed in principle to build an industry
solution extension for the smartOCI Marketplace, which will incorporate
business processes and best practices in the long-term care industry.
Terms for the solution extension have not yet been determined.
"We chose NetSol because of their years of experience in SAP
implementation and the power of their smartOCI software to streamline
the procurement process in an intuitive, easy-to-use interface," said
Stephen Olds, CEO of LTC Supply Source.
NetSol's smartOCI product is designed to facilitate the B2B procurement
process by providing companies with a powerful e-commerce search engine
that improves purchasing efficiencies and delivers a compelling B2C
like user experience in the B2B eProcurement space. The software allows
companies to access their global suppliers and retrieve competitive
pricing information to meet their purchasing requirements, as well as
collaborate with their suppliers to exchange and publish catalog
content.
