  Trade Stone Software : In the past 10 years, the definition of private label has evolved significantly from that of a simple "generic" or "store" brand. Today, more than two-thirds of global consumers are not only buying private label products, but consider them to be a "good alternative" to other brands; while nearly as many believe such products offer quality that's "at least as good as that of the usual big brands." Private label goods are important to retailers because not only are they more profitable and cheaper to source and produce, but they provide the opportunity to increase brand awareness. TradeStone’s award winning software is recognized by Wall Street analysts as a superior tool to help retailers and wholesalers deliver exciting, quality merchandise that sells through at full price. TradeStone’s Merchandise Lifecycle Management technology uses Web services to leverage and layer across an organization’s existing infrastructure to blend planning, product development, sourcing, ordering, quality, logistics and finance to provide a single view, access and interaction across the supply chain.
