SHIPXACT.COM GOES LIVE IN ONLY 45 DAYS WITH MOTEK® WAREHOUSE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
Advanced software and product delivery methodology combine to reduce implementation time from months to days.

BEVERLY HILLS. CA (January 24, 2000) - Motek, the leading provider of supply chain execution systems for Microsoft Windows®, announced today the successful implementation of ShipXact.com's Norcross Georgia distribution center in only 45 days from the contract signing to the go-live date.

Priya®, Motek's award-winning Warehouse Management System (WMS) is the cornerstone of ShipXact.com's new fulfillment system. Priya is responsible for managing all of the activity within the walls of the warehouse and interfaces to ShipXact.com's all new, web-enabled enterprise application that can effectively match customer requirements with supplier resources, and manage the relationships between each. The ShipXact.com system is event driven distribution technology designed to organize and enable the thousands of unique relationships between their clients and their clients' customers, vendors, warehouses, shippers, and banks. The new system will determine specific sourcing rules and procedures, line-by-line, based on who ordered it, where they want it shipped and who will pay for it. Running under Microsoft Windows and SQL Server, the system is e-commerce ready via Internet, extranet or intranet connectivity.

"Priya was the perfect WMS to compliment our enterprise solution. We looked at more than 15 WMS vendors and found Priya's functionality and technology head and shoulders above the rest", said Brian Anderson, Director of Information Systems for ShipXact.com. "I've been involved with many system implementations of this scale, and implementing a system this powerful in only 45 days is nothing less than amazing"! "The Motek team did a great job of coordinating their efforts with both our internal resources and third-party project managers, which resulted in an exceptionally smooth system implementation."

"In addition to investing a lot of time in developing Priya, our WMS product, we've also spent a lot of time perfecting Tycan®, our exclusive product delivery system", said Ann Price, Motek CEO. "In more than ten years of implementing these systems, we've determined what works and what doesn't. We've taken the best of our most successful implementations and incorporated them into a fool-proof, rapid product delivery methodology that allows us to deliver such a robust solution so quickly".
