InterTrade acquires GXS Active Catalog
June 7, 2010, InterTrade announced that it has completed the acquisition of all GXS Active Catalog assets. GXS elected to sell Active Catalog to InterTrade, a company known to serve its customers with passion and quality. With this acquisition InterTrade becomes the second largest catalogue service provider for apparel and footwear in North America.
Impact for Active Catalog Customers
Both InterTrade and GXS have agreed to make sure the transition is as seamless as possible for customers. GXS will continue to support existing users of Active Catalog for the duration of the transition period so there is no immediate impact to them.
GXS Active Catalog has been sold to InterTrade Systems, Inc., effective immediately and all Active Catalog contracts and subscriptions in North America are now owned by InterTrade.
No short term changes are expected to happen in the way current customers are using the Active Catalog. Trading partners will continue to use the same interface to upload product information into the catalogue. Retailers will continue to pull information from the application as they have been doing over the years.
