CARY, N.C., Oct. 8, 2007 -- Supply Chain Intelligence, an innovative provider of logistics optimization systems, announces that Price Chopper has selected Outbound Shipment Intelligence(TM) to replace their existing routing & scheduling system. This decision was made after comparing the solutions generated by both systems.

"We were skeptical that there was a system that could produce justifiable savings over our existing solution, especially due to our recent efforts to fine-tune our solution. Supply Chain Intelligence has proven the savings with their grocery expertise," says W. Thomas Bird, VP of Transportation, The Golub Corporation. "Supply Chain Intelligence worked diligently to understand our business, and in the end, showed how their solution will save tremendous dollars."

Outbound Shipment Intelligence(TM) will be deployed on a central server and accessed by the users at the distribution centers using standard web browsers. Price Chopper chose Supply Chain Intelligence's solution after an extensive review process in part because of the ease of use, flexibility to address different processes at each distribution center, and the ability to reduce overall transportation costs.

"Price Chopper is operated by an exceptional group of individuals and has been squeezing the transportation budget as best they could with the tools available to them. With Outbound Shipment Intelligence(TM), they now have a system that fits their grocery process and allows them to continue their efforts in streamlining transportation," says Karl Hatt, Vice President, Logistics Systems, Supply Chain Intelligence. "The grocery industry has long been in search of ways to reduce costs to combat ever-shrinking margins. Our solution provides grocers a means to reduce the cost of transportation without changing their process, where they might believe none exists with their current routing system. Outbound Shipment Intelligence(TM) is proven to generate savings over other existing routing systems."

"We weren't even looking for a new routing system but became curious once we saw Supply Chain Intelligence at a tradeshow. We felt it was worth pursuing if the savings were there," says Bird. "We look forward to this relationship and the prospect of implementing additional modules in their transportation suite in the future."
