Amadeus Consulting, a leading custom software development company, today announced the completion of a series of technology development projects for Spyder Active Sports, an international manufacturer of high-performance apparel for skiing and other outdoor sports. The projects are part of a strategy to position the business for a period of accelerated growth following the July 2004 acquisition of Spyder by Apax Partners, one of the world's leading private equity groups.

The primary initiative, a “Dealer Extranet,” is a secure Web-based system for processing product orders from Spyder's sales representatives and distributors in over 50 countries. The Extranet represents a significant improvement to the way sales orders are handled. Instead of exchanging via email, sales order forms are managed and processed through the Extranet which handles multiple versions of the order forms for over 15,000 different products.

Because of the size and diversity of the company's dealer network, adoption of the Extranet and new order process was expected to take some time. However, the rate of adoption exceeded expectations, and the system was quickly expanded to handle digital asset management, including the secure distribution of pre-season product images and marketing materials.
