EAST RUTHERFORD, NJ, July 25, 2006 -- Management Dynamics, a leading provider of global trade management solutions, today announced that Glazer’s Wholesale Drug Company, the second largest distributor of wine and spirits in the U.S., has implemented its Supply Chain Visibility and Event Management solution for use throughout its domestic and international supply chain operations. The solution provides Glazer’s with complete, real-time order and shipment visibility; synchronizes critical logistics information across Glazer’s supplier and trading partner network; and measures and analyzes the performance of Glazer’s vendors and service providers using comprehensive scorecards and reports.

Since going live in April, the system has already delivered a number of key benefits including better visibility of inbound inventory, a better understanding of supply variability leading to fewer stock-outs, and improved communication and collaboration with global vendors, and eventually suppliers. Management Dynamics’ visibility solution was selected from more than 20 other competitive solutions for its functionality, reliability, and user-friendliness, as well as its ability to ultimately integrate with Glazer’s core purchasing and replenishment system.

The Web-based solution will replace manual order and shipment tracking processes, which frequently led to significant delays and difficulty in determining accurate inventory levels and expected arrival dates for shipments. With this implementation, users have access to real-time data on shipment dispatches and warehouse receipts, enabling them to better manage safety stock levels at each distribution center, avoid expediting and reduce domestic transportation costs.

“This project is a groundbreaking initiative and will place Glazer’s at the forefront of supply chain best practices for our industry,” commented Gregg Mitchell, Glazer’s Vice President for Corporate Logistics. “Management Dynamics has been an invaluable partner in supporting our vision for a true collaborative trading partner network, and we look forward to working with them as we seek to leverage this solution to forge deeper links with our vendor and carrier community.”

Management Dynamics’ comprehensive Supply Chain Visibility solution supports the key objectives of Glazer’s global logistics program, including:

• Closer collaboration with the vendor community to manage system-wide inventory
   
• Linking orders with shipments and in-transit status updates to better manage international, domestic and intra-company movements
   
• Event alerting capabilities based on milestone plans that anticipate potential fulfillment issues and prompt rapid resolution
   
• Measurement and analysis of vendor and carrier performance using scorecards and ad-hoc reporting tools
  

“We’re delighted that Glazer’s, one of the largest and most respected distributors of wine and spirits, has chosen Management Dynamics to help them manage their global trade processes,” said Jim Preuninger, CEO of Management Dynamics. “Glazer’s selection of our supply chain visibility solution further validates our ability to deliver global trade management solutions that enhance visibility and control, while lowering inventory levels and logistics costs. We welcome Glazer’s to our growing customer base and look forward to helping drive continued value to their business.”
