eBOTS changes name...

Filed in archive News on December 5, 2005

eBots, a leading maker of supply chain software for "Lean manufacturing," has changed its name to Ultriva Inc., after receiving $4 million in a new round of financing.

"eBots was more a name of the '90s," Michael Coates, a company spokesperson, said in an interview. "It might even make you think of 'robots,' or something."

At the same time, the company has changed the names of its products, which are being deployed by midrange to large customers such as IR-Hussmann Corp., Ingersoll-Rand Co. Ltd. and Invensys to reduce inventory levels, increase on-time delivery and cut manufacturing costs.
