QUAKER OATS

HOPES TO MOVE SNAPPLE ELECTRONICALLY

Over the past several years, Quaker Oats has been on a beverage buying spree, buying both Gatorade and Snapple. Today, Quaker is the third-largest beverage company after Coke and Pepsi and it's the largest vendor of noncarbonated beverages.

But being the biggest today doesn't mean that you'll always be that way. So, Quaker hopes to sell even more Snapple through technology. Quaker plans to create an interorganisational system that will connect it to the top 50 distributors of Snapple. Then Quaker will tap into the distributors' databases, monitor their inventory levels and replenish Snapple supplies at a moment's notice.

This sort of IOS that supports information sharing between organisations is not uncommon.
