Robyn, there are several Nexcom's but I assume you mean the U.S. Navy Exchange. Not to ask a leading question but are you looking to purchase a VMI package or are you developing it in house? I don't know a lot of details specific to NB but the retail industry is working to get delivery of offshore manufactured products quicker which would tie into VMI. One of your major competitors was in the press lately as I'm sure you are aware of on these issues. There are a number of logistics and warehousing magazines that periodically have articles on VMI. Have you checked with the NRF for publications? One of the big problems of implementing VMI is getting historical sales data to help do the forecasting. Are you trying to get this up for the holiday season? As a free testimonial I have been running with NB shoes for about 20 years and I just took off a pair.
