Coca Cola Bottler’s IT Organization Selects Mariner for BI Expertise and Continuity

November 8th, 2011 – Charlotte, NC – Mariner, a leading data management, business intelligence and analytics company, has successfully completed release 1 of a sales and delivery management data warehouse project with Charlotte-based Coca-Cola Bottling Co. Consolidated (NASDAQ: COKE).

In a contract signed earlier this month, CCBCC and Mariner will continue collaborating to integrate critical business metrics into a data warehouse that supports key business areas including sales, delivery and distribution. The data warehouse is built on Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 technology.

“We selected Mariner because they are the right partner to help us grow. They are part of our community, which is as important to us as their technical and business skills,” said Onyeka Nchege, Vice President/Chief Information Officer at CCBCC.

“We are very pleased with the positive reaction to release 1 and the foundation it created for our work on release 2”, commented Peter Darragh, Vice President, Mariner’s Core Group. “Release 1’s scope of time-recording, loading, invoicing and route planning created a performance management and analytics platform to drive compliance and continuous improvement discussions between a driver, their supervisor and dispatch”.
