Press Release Summary = Natela chose Made4net\'s WarehouseExpert to manage its new
distribution center in Johannesburg. Natela's recent implementation of Made4net's
warehouse management system has already shown a marked improvement for the DC as
well as a hefty ROI.


Press Release Body = Made4net, a leading Supply Chain Execution solutions provider,
has recently completed the implementation of its Warehouse Management System,
WarehouseExpertT in the new central DC of Natela Importers (PTY) Ltd., South
Africa\'s leading food distributor. The new distribution center in Johannesburg,
sprawls on an area of 10,000 square meters, and was designed to meet the
distribution challenges of supply chain leaders.

Made4net began the implementation of WarehouseExpert in late September 2006. Upon
completion in February 2007 Made4net successfully launched WarehouseExpertT in
Natela's distribution center, empowering the new central DC with total end to end
management of its operational process. The DC can now capitalize on WarehouseExpertT
for superior inventory visibility capabilities and optimized resource utilization.

WarehouseExpertT controls all the operational processes in the Natela's distribution
center, starting from receiving, through optimized storage, picking, replenishment,
stock control & counting, Quality Assurance and loading. The warehouse staff uses RF
mobile terminals from PsionTeklogix, enabling real time inventory management,
process and resource utilization, and higher level of visibility.

The newly-implemented WMS also provides Natela with complete inventory
synchronization owing to WarehouseExpertT's ability to interface with Syspro
(Natela\'s existing sales & order processing and accounting systems, and one of South
Africa\'s leading ERP\'s).

\"This is a new era for us. Having the ability to be in control of every operation on
the warehouse level, contributes significantly to the efficiency of the business.\"
said Marius Lange, IT and Logistics Director at Natela Importers. \"Our cost
associated with picking has already been decreased, with an increasing growth in
revenue. In addition, we have become much more responsive to the needs of our
clients, and this has significantly increased our service level and customer care.\"

\"This is a major milestone for Made4net in the South African market\" said Amit Levy,
Director of Made4net. \"This implementation was accomplished in less than 5 months,
which proves once again that our powerful solutions can meet the budget and
requirements of not only the huge companies, but also small and medium logistic
players. We are committed to providing our customer with innovative supply chain
solutions that help increase profitability and improve efficiency.\"

WarehouseExpertT is part of the SCExpertT product suite, built with Made4net\'s
advanced technical architecture. The technology is completely Microsoft based,
web-native, database independent, and built using advanced Service Oriented
Architecture (SOA) design principles. As a result, Made4net customers receive a
flexible, easy to implement solution that provides high initial ROI and the ability
to adapt quickly to changing requirements over time.
