Press ReleaseFOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Ref. #NRE2004-07 Leader in the Gourmet Gift Market to Implement PointForce Software to Manage Over 20,000 Orders per YearTECSYS PointForce Software to Deliver Unprecedented Information AccessMONTREAL, March 30, 2004 — TECSYS Inc. (TSE: TCS), a leading Supply Chain Management (SCM) software provider, announced today that its PointForce business unit has signed an agreement with Gourmet du Village™ to implement its distribution application suite. The PointForce software will provide Gourmet du Village with the edge in customer satisfaction and strategic processes to meet and exceed the company's complex distribution and customer requirements. "PointForce gives us immediate access to pertinent information, tightens up our business procedures with information flowing smoothly from order to shipping, and offers our customers a simpler way to do business," said Mike Tott, President of Gourmet du Village. "We realized as we grew, our steps for tracking and filling an order also grew. PointForce software lets us consolidate our processes, track information on demand, and share client and product usage information with our local and remote field reps instantly. When we went to market, we spoke to many companies, both users and non-users of PointForce solutions, and it was amazing that the PointForce name kept coming up." Gourmet du Village sells over 400 varieties of gourmet gift items to independent and retail outlets throughout the US and Canada. The company also manufactures a wide range of gourmet food products in Quebec. With double-digit annual growth, Gourmet du Village was facing a challenge in keeping up with the expanding orders from the US. The new FDA reporting and tracking requirements were another reason the company needed to find a solution able to handle its reporting needs. Kevin Tribe, President of TECSYS PointForce, stated, "Our application suite continues to demonstrate our leadership in the giftware distribution market. With our industry-leading distribution management applications running on Unix, Linux and Windows, we can clearly show a very low total cost of ownership, allowing us to maintain our lead and strengthen our position in the marketplace." PointForce software will be implemented at Gourmet du Village's 35,000-sq.-ft. warehouse in Morin Heights, Quebec. Gourmet du Village is scheduled to go live by July 2004.
