PRESS RELEASE

New Partnership Between TransLogix and Accellos Showcased at Refrigerated Warehouse Transport Association (RWTA) Conference 2011

Sydney, 09 August 2011:  TransLogix, Australasia's leading Transport and Logistics software provider, announces a partnership with Accellos, a global designer of innovative Warehouse Management Solutions (WMS). The two companies will be showcasing their integrated 3PL Refrigerated Warehousing & Transport software offering at the upcoming Refrigerated Warehouse Transport Association (RWTA) Conference 2011 in Launceston, August 11-13.

This new venture will deliver significant gains to cold storage operations by leveraging Accellos' product strength and flexibility with TransLogix's broad experience implementing logistics management solutions to the Australian and New Zealand market.

The Refrigerated industry requires a flexible solution that can cater to different requirements for each of its customers. 3PL solutions need to provide a functionally rich customer service interface, ensure cost control whilst maximising revenue and still delivering an efficient and practical 3PL solution. The solutions offered provide a comprehensive set of features to address these requirements to ensure a rapid return on investment.

As the leading Transport and Logistics software supplier in the local market, TransLogix has 400 customers in Australia and New Zealand with 43 specialising in temperature-controlled transport or storage such as Swire, Scotts Refrigerated and Lindsay Bros.

Accellos' software for the cold storage industry sees it dominate the international market, including members of the International Association of Refrigerated Warehousing such as Halls Warehousing (the largest in North America), Friasla (the largest 3PL in Mexico) and Commercial Cold Storage (largest in Africa).

Anselm Waterfield, CEO of TransLogix, said: "The Accellos next generation software, supported by our delivery expertise, will transform cold storage management in this market."

Ross Elliott, Accellos CTO, said: "We are excited about this partnership as TransLogix has the resources, experience and capability to ensure the delivery of a solution that will exceed expectations and provide rapid return on investment for our joint customers."

The Accellos/TransLogix solutions under the new partnership are now branded for the Australasian market as A1 for 3PL and OPAL WMS, which will be offered depending on client requirements and the size of their operations.
