YARDLEY, PA, July 25, 2007 - Heads & Threads International LLC (HTI) has joined Trading Partner Connect, Activant's Internet trading network for distributors and manufacturers.

"Activant is thrilled to welcome Heads & Threads International to Trading Partner Connect," said Steve McLaughlin, senior vice president and general manager of Activant. "Several of our customers have urged us to expand Trading Partner Connect in the fastener marketplace and we worked with our Fastener Advisory Board to communicate the value of Trading Partner Connect to Heads & Threads."

Trading Partner Connect expedites sourcing, expands geographic reach, and streamlines transactions between distributors and manufacturers. Distributors also find it to be a valuable tool in reducing dead stock and improving customer service.

"We view Trading Partner Connect as a great way to streamline our relationships with distributors," said Rob Ludwig, CIO of HTI. "Our customers tell us they want suppliers that are both easy to do business with and provide value. Through the use of collaboration technology, we have found new ways to do business that are easier, cheaper, and more accurate. Our customers are our partners; anything that helps them improve their processes while at the same time reduces costs, benefits the entire supply chain."

HTI joins more than 50 manufacturers and 450 distributors currently using the solution to source stock. What makes Trading Partner Connect especially unique is the rationalized database that allows members to use their own item numbers while using the network.
