SourceDay Unveils Partnership with SPS Commerce to Power 100% PO Delivery

Proprietary API extends customers’ SourceDay system to their EDI suppliers, giving manufacturers a single workflow and real-time visibility across the entire PO lifecycle

Today, SourceDay launched SourceDay EDI, Powered by SPS Commerce, the first and only supply chain collaboration platform to provide manufacturers and distributors insights and mitigation workflows to resolve high-impact supply chain issues across all suppliers, including those who work in other technology workflows, such as EDI.

  • In today’s volatile economic landscape, marked by global disruptions and shifting market demands, effective supply chain collaboration has become critical for maintaining business continuity and competitive advantage. Our partnership is a proactive response to these challenges, offering a solution that enhances agility, reliability, and responsiveness in the supply chain.
  • Integrating EDI, technology companies have used for decades, with the new age of supply chain collaboration that is SourceDay offers a way to connect manufacturers to all of their suppliers without investing in a technology that only a few of their suppliers use.
  • SourceDay EDI, Powered by SPS Commerce, is the final piece in SourceDay’s puzzle of 100% PO delivery. No more missed orders. No more missed changes to date quantity or prices. And no more missed parts that will undoubtedly shut down production lines. SourceDay is the solution that streamlines all critical PO-related communication in one place for modernized supply chain collaboration.

SourceDay x SPS Commerce Partnership
The SourceDay and SPS Commerce partnership signifies a leap forward in supply chain visibility and collaboration, offering businesses the unparalleled ability to manage their supply chain with precision and agility.

CordovaCann (CSE:CDVA)(OTCQB:LVRLF) Announces Letter of Intent to Acquire Majority Stake in Washington Cultivation and Manufacturing Operator

Acquisition To Expand Production Capacity and Product Lineup

CordovaCann Corp. (CSE:CDVA) (OTCQB:LVRLF) (“Cordova” or the “Company”), a cannabis-focused consumer products company, announced today that the Company has entered into an arm’s length transaction by executing a non-binding letter of intent (the “LOI”) on March 19, 2021 to purchase Washington based company, WoW Industries, LLC (“WoW Industries”), which both cultivates cannabis flower and manufactures cannabis derivative products for wholesale and retail distribution in the State (the “Transaction”). The Transaction will enable Cordova to materially expand its production capacity and product lineup in Washington under well-known brands with a strong customer base.

WoW Industries, headquartered in Springdale, Washington, operates a Tier II production facility and 8,000 square foot manufacturing facility that sits on a 15-acre property. The operation cultivates numerous cannabis strains sold under the brand LuvIT Farms and manufactures a variety of cannabis derivative products sold under the brand Altus Concentrates, both of which are sold in dispensaries throughout the state of Washington. WoW Industries is led by a strong operational team that will retain significant ownership and operate the business post-closing. Cordova and the WoW Industries team plan to expand the cultivation canopy and the manufacturing capacity of the operation throughout the remainder of this year, which will position the business for significant growth and margin expansion. The Transaction as contemplated is expected to close on or before June 1, 2021 (the “Closing Date”), subject to certain closing conditions, including but not limited to satisfactory due diligence and board approval of the Company.

Pursuant to the terms of the LOI, Cordova has agreed to purchase 51% of WoW Industries, which includes, but is not limited to, ownership of cultivation and manufacturing equipment, intellectual property, and contracts with customers.

“We are looking forward to expanding our footprint in Washington and are excited to work with the WoW Industries team to meaningfully grow their operation,” said Taz Turner, Chairman and CEO of Cordova. “The growing demand for the LuvIT and Altus products provides a strong tailwind to quickly grow the revenues and cash flow of the business, which should make the acquisition nicely accretive for Cordova.”

Product Data-Sharing Cloud Technology Now Available to Manufacturers and Distributors

News and business headlines alike have recently begun touting the popularity and importance of Cloud Computing. Amazon, Microsoft, Google to name a few are working to gain ground in the cloud computing market. Minneapolis-based Anarus™, Inc. is bringing the next generation of Cloud Computing to the world of manufacturing. Their product, GrandAnar™, is a secure cloud-based portal that provides a bridge for manufacturers to easily and securely share their product data seamlessly with their customers.

“Our platform eliminates the need for manipulating cumbersome spreadsheets or limited update capabilities to controlled industry databases.”— Prashubh Batham

With GrandAnar’s cloud technology data portal, manufacturers share their product information securely and electronically only with the customers they choose to give access. GrandAnar becomes the “single source of truth” by providing a centralized repository for product information; updated as often as a manufacturer chooses.

GrandAnar provides a direct data connection between manufacturers and their distributor customers. The manufacturer’s rich product information – including data and customer-specific pricing – gets securely stored in their private account in the cloud. Once they give them permission, their retail or distributor customers can access the data; specific to their account; to use with their eCommerce, pricing, etc. The technology also allows distributors to automatically connect to the Cloud database and keep their ecommerce database updated with latest product information from manufacturers.

“It’s a decades old problem dating back to the start of technology in industry,” states Anarus Founder and President, Prashubh Batham. “Distributors need current, quality product data in order to sell to their customers and manufacturers spend tons of dollars and man-hours to provide information that is obsolete as soon as it’s sent out. Our platform eliminates the need for manipulating cumbersome spreadsheets or limited update capabilities to controlled industry databases.”

As an added benefit, Anarus has developed a Contractor mobile app – FriskerIt™ that is designed to provide the GrandAnar cloud data for contractors to search in the field. The design is that users can access specific product data, specs, pricing, etc. and then locate the supplier nearest their location to purchase it.

Anarus was founded in 2019 by Prashubh Batham. With more than 25+ years of experience, Batham has been instrumental in four successful software company startups, including the company in the business of developing, selling and maintaining B2B and B2C eCommerce and catalog software to wholesale distributors and manufacturers that he founded, successfully ran and sold.
