(Torrington, CT) InterGis and GBG announced today that the two companies have formed a strategic alliance to provide routing software solutions to GBG's more than 750 customers that distribute soft drinks, beer, wine, spirits, water, coffee, snacks, candy and tobacco. Global Beverage Group (GBG) is the largest, most successful provider of sales and distribution software for Direct-Store-Delivery (DSD) of consumer packaged goods. InterGis is the premier developer of routing, scheduling and dispatching software including its Visual Control Room (VCR) product.

"InterGis is a key partner providing the base applications that drive the GBG Software 4 Life (SW4L) Routing program. Routing is becoming increasingly important to GBG customers as they manage more complex customer delivery demands," said Ted Hastings, GBG CEO. "GBG is devoted to preserving customer investments. We add to existing application functionality, while upgrading technology and developing new opportunities for customers to reduce costs and increase operating efficiencies. Intergis' VCR is the foundation in our drive to improve the routing capabilities and efficiencies across our customer base," Hastings added.
"We are very excited about forming this strategic alliance with GBG," said InterGis president, Steven Brown. "By combining our routing solution with GBG's route accounting and settlement applications, we are uniquely positioned to offer significant improvements in operational efficiencies and substantially reduce transportation related costs for the beverage industry."
