5/1/2001 - Four51 today announced that the company is offering a new pricing program for independent distributors, their suppliers and their customers. Four51's FlashPointSM program helps distributors and suppliers benefit from Four51's e-solution while promoting flexibility, autonomy, and self-sufficiency. Four51 defines FlashPoints as system users and individual products. Instead of charging fees on a per-customer or per-transaction basis, Four51 offers distributors and suppliers the opportunity to make manageable incremental investments in additional users and products as they scale with the e-solution. User ID and product implementation fees are waived if the distributor or supplier elects to attend Four51 training classes. Otherwise, Four51 implements user IDs and product FlashPoints for a flat fee at the time the FlashPoints are implemented. Four51's current customers will be given the option to transition to the new pricing program or to continue with Four51 under their current agreement. The company is already presenting current customers with the new FlashPoint pricing program for evaluation and review.
