CHAMBERSBURG, PA— November 11, 2008—A U.S. business method patent (Patent No. 7,451,106) that will change the way organizations buy customized goods or services has been awarded to e-LYNXX Corporation, one of the leading procurement management firms in North America.
"U. S. Patent No. 7,451,106 is revolutionary because it forms the backbone for any electronic system that manages the procurement of a customized good or service. Systems are available today through such companies as SAP, Ariba and Oracle that manage the procurement of inventoried items — those items that are mass produced and kept in a warehouse until they are ordered, such as through an on-line catalogue. A customized good or service is very different. It must be ordered to precise specifications at the time of purchase. Examples, to name a few, include commercial print, construction services, direct mail, labels, machined parts, marketing materials, product packaging, temporary staffing, textiles, transportation, trucking, and more," said William Gindlesperger, inventor of the methodology for which the patent was awarded and founder and chief executive officer of e-LYNXX Corporation.
