Click Commerce Inc. this week added an updated Web-based warehouse management application to its supply chain suite, the latest move to fill the "white space" that remains between ERP and outside trading partners.

The warehouse management system, called Click Commerce WMX, was just one of many products that debuted at ProMat 2007, the supply chain show that took place this week in Chicago. The event also provided the platform for LXE Inc. to demonstrate its next-generation suite of mobile supply chain technology products. In addition, FKI Logistex and Rockwell Automation showed off new material-handling and logistics management offerings.

In addition to WMX, Click Commerce used ProMat to disclose a changing of the guard. The company, which was acquired last fall by Illinois Tool Works (ITW), named Nancy Koenig president. Koenig, who as executive vice president ran the company's operations in North America and Europe, is assuming responsibilities previously handled by CEO Michael Ferro, who is working as a consultant to ITW. During Ferro's tenure the position of president was vacant, said a company spokesperson, who noted that Koenig played a key leadership role during the ITW acquisition. Koenig joined Click Commerce in 1999 after spending time in sales and marketing at Motorola.
