GOING THE DISTANCE

We are pleased to welcome Energizer to our line-up of presenters for the next EPG, scheduled for March 23-24, 2010. Larry Lazar, Energizer Retail Operations Manager, will share insights about performance reporting utilizing consumption data, and how their strategy is impacting the company's success.

We continue doing some notable work for several other customers to solve some of their key challenges - and are seeing stellar results. Whether initiating in-store execution solutions, developing innovative applications, or customizing dashboard reports to unique needs, providing solutions to everyday challenges is at the core of RW3's business.

Even more important to our business is the dedication and work ethic demonstrated by our Team. In this newsletter, we acknowledge 7 employees who have worked hard on behalf of RW3 for over 10 years.  As a small company, that is a significant number!  Our policy of developing talent and promoting within whenever possible also ensures that our Team becomes even more versatile as we grow.
