At the annual National Retail Federation (NRF) show (Jan. 15-18)— GXS customer, Piggly Wiggly Carolina, will discuss GXS’ role in automating the company’s supply chain and in preparing the company to support Radio Frequency Identification (RFID).

With more than 100 stores and more than 600 suppliers, Piggly Wiggly has improved both trading partner relationships and the quality of its customer experience through GXS’ solutions.

Also at NRF, GXS (Booth # 345) will announce two new products, both of which help retail suppliers adopt emerging B2B e-commerce technologies.
