HARTFORD, CONN. — A new enterprise service assists small- to medium-sized manufacturers that want to offer customers the ability to find, order and check delivery status of standard or custom-configured components via the Internet.

The real-time service from i-MARK, SmartSITE RTE, provides an automated platform for manufacturers to run their entire business, from product discovery through distribution. "It helps bring our customers' products to market quicker," says Del Merenda, i-MARK CEO.

According to AMR Research and real-time enterprises, manufacturers using services such as SmartSITE RTE, can potentially reduce inventory by 15 percent and cut total transaction time by up to 90 percent.
