CHEETAH SOFTWARE WINS 2006 TOP SPOT AS LOGISTICS IT PROVIDER

Affordable logistics software offers the antidote to the high cost of transport

Westlake Village, CA (April 24, 2006) - As a top provider of logistics solutions, Cheetah has been setting the pace with real-time logistics solutions for the transportation industry and has been selected as an Inbound Logistics Top 100 Logistics IT (Information Technology) Provider for 2006. With oil prices hitting a record $75 a barrel this past week and Diesel pushing $3 for what experts predict to be the next several months, implementing technology solutions to raise efficiency is critical for most companies. Oil prices have increased 40% over the same time last year. There is a great deal of anticipated trouble and speculation over Iran affairs and depleting US oil supplies, forcing companies to find alternative solutions like Cheetah to maintain operations.

"Competition is tight and with overhead costs soaring, the transportation industry is increasingly going to Cheetah to help solve their problems", said Stephan Karczag, VP Sales & Marketing for Cheetah Software Systems. "We can help an LTL (less than truckload) or Distribution and Delivery company realize a tremendous increase in efficiency and profits by making more stops in fewer miles. Using logistics software is vital for these companies to retain customers and improve operations without having to pass along higher fuel costs."

Customers like Watkins Motor Lines, swear by Cheetah and the results obtainable. Cheetah provided Watkins with real-time supply chain visibility into driver routes as one of its many features. The overall result was significantly improved route optimization, customer service and stops-per-hour performance.

After implementing the software, the results were immediate. "Cheetah has given us a low-cost solution with many benefits," said Steve Smith, Watkins' VP of Performance Standards. Unlike many incomplete systems that are out there, Cheetah incorporates real time routing," said Smith. "It provides an integrated customer workflow and logistics system that manages dispatch, delivery and customer service."
