Yard Tries To Make Peace

The first order of business for the new manager at Tualatin Valley Builders Supply, South Salem, Or., has been healing rifts with the yard's residential neighbors.

Locals have been complaining to the business and to the city about the noise and lack of landscaping since the business opened last year in the midst of their residential neighborhood. But, they say, the city and the manager gave them the cold shoulder.

But since Joe Leathers took over as manager in February, a compromise has begun with thick shrubs all hope will one day grow tall enough to screen TVBS' l7-ft. high racks of lumber.

"Before the new manager came, the situation was intolerable," said one resident. "But now, for the first time since they came, I am hopeful."

EDI Over The Internet

For the first time, orders from an on-line catalog can be sent in EDI format over the Internet.

Currently, on-line orders are typically E-mailed to the supplier, who then prints out the order for entry into an order processing or other system.

Electronic Commerce Systems' new "Retail Catalog" transforms orders into EDI documents, which are then securely transmitted via the Internet to the appropriate supplier. By eliminating data entry, errors, labor and other costs are reduced.
