Idapta®, Inc., formerly known as Intelligent/Digital, a leading provider of enterprise-level operating systems and trading applications for business-to-business (B2B) e-commerce, announced today that LiveListings.com, the premier online trading community for truck, automotive and industrial parts, has selected Idapta’s B2B emarket solutions to power its online marketplace. LiveListings.com will use Idapta’s Commerce O/S(TM), an open, scalable B2B emarket operating system, and MarketExchange(TM), the only software application offering multiple trading mechanisms through a common interface, to enable real-time trade among its more than 1,500 current subscribers and future marketplace members.

“LiveListings.com searched for the strongest technology partners in developing our current systems and future infrastructure,” said Jim Weisfield, executive vice president of LiveListings.com. “Our business is experiencing explosive growth, and Idapta’s products offer us the versatility and depth that we were looking for. As a leader in the online aftermarket parts industry, the ability of our e-commerce engine to perform now and into the future is critical to our success.”
“Idapta is pleased that LiveListings.com has selected Commerce O/S and MarketExchange as core components of its emarket architecture and trading platform,” said Biri Singh, president, CEO and founder of Idapta. “Idapta will help LiveListings.com achieve immediate liquidity because our solutions are designed to both drive transactions and expand as their business grows.”
LiveListings.com was founded in 1998 to expand on the services offered by MultiFax Services, a pioneer in the field of subscription based Internet and Fax services for the heavy duty truck parts aftermarket. In 1999, LiveListings.com acquired MultiFax Services in an effort to deliver integrated services to a rapidly growing user base. The company also recently completed a $5 million seed round of funding. Currently, LiveListings.com is in the final stages of constructing what promises to be the largest exchange, auction and cataloguing site for aftermarket truck, automotive and industrial parts.
With 1,500 subscribing companies and nearly $500 million in listings in 1999, LiveListings.com is looking to Idapta to move its marketplace to the next level. Lante Corporation, an Internet services company and leader in building electronic marketplaces, will provide system integration services for the project, which is scheduled to be completed with the launch of the new LiveListings.com Web site in the third quarter of 2000.
