BEVERLY HILLS, CA (March 01, 2000) - Motek, the leading provider of supply chain execution systems for Microsoft Windows®, announced today that Owner and CEO Ann Price has been honored as Best Employer in Working Woman's Entrepreneurial Excellence Awards. The 2000 Working Woman Entrepreneurial Excellence Awards program, sponsored by Bank One®, Office Depot®, Fed Ex®, Salt River Project® and US West® is the first-ever national campaign to specifically identify, recognize and celebrate the achievements and contributions of women entrepreneurs. Out of the 9.1 million women-owned businesses in the United States, there are 360,300 business women in the Los Angeles metropolitan area. To recognize their accomplishments, Working Woman magazine held its second annual Working Woman Entrepreneurial Excellence Awards. Recognized as Best Employer, Price was among the 19 regional winners honored.
In 1991, Price built Motek for the sole purpose of developing Priya®, a Warehouse Management System designed to control the entire warehouse operation in facilities from 100,000 to 1 million square feet. With customers like Borden, Yoplait, General Electric and Heinz, Motek is the technology leader in that market today. Price maintains that attracting and retaining world class talent in the technology industry requires playing by new rules. That's why Motek's innovative employee benefits include a one-month paid personal leave policy for all, catered lunches from local restaurants, and the opportunity to earn paid vacations to exotic destinations. The Wall Street Journal® and Good Morning America® have recognized Price for her innovative management practices. Price has also been written about in a book entitled Lean and Meaningful by Roger Herman and Joyce Gioia.
