What Fellow Professionals Are Saying

³Thank you for this excellent reference book. We find it comprehensive, clear and expertly laid out. It is a valuable asset in assisting our incursion into this industry and market.²

- William Rest, Project Manager, EM Data Consultants

³IDII is to be congratulated for the enormous achievement of bringing together almost all of the Å’jargon¹ of the Supply Chain business and technical world in one easy to use reference! I was surprised to find that the author had many abbreviations in the Warehousing and Distribution area that even I, after 32 years in the field, had not encountered.²

- Art Avery, Distribution & Warehousing Consultant

³This book is exceedingly helpful in coming to common, real world, feet on the street understanding. A great resource. I thought the idea and execution of this is great. I have always thought the EDI numbering system standards to be incomprehensible. I thought it was like the secret language that the I/S guys used to talk.²
