DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 17, 2002

Independent WMS Market Study Touts EXE's 45% Ownership

of Asia/Pacific Region, Expertise in Vertical Markets, and

Leading Service to Top Tier Companies

EXE Technologies(R), Inc. (NASDAQ:EXEE), the global leader in supply chain execution, today announced that ARC Advisory Group has recognized EXE(TM) as the only supplier of warehouse management systems (WMS) software and services with a leading position in all three global regions. According to the analyst firm's recent "Warehouse Management Systems Market Analysis and Forecast," EXE remains the global presence leader for the third consecutive year. EXE is also named as the number one WMS supplier to the Asia/Pacific market and to "Tier 1" customers worldwide - companies with over $1 billion in annual revenues. Additionally, EXE is acknowledged for its leading position in servicing distribution and retail, manufacturing and third party logistics (3PL) markets. The total WMS market surpassed $738 million in 2001 and is expected to grow to more than $1.17 billion by the end of 2006.

With EXE's is prominence in all regions - North America, the Europe, Middle East, Africa region (EMEA), and holding nearly half the Asia/Pacific WMS market - EXE continues to be the most global of the WMS suppliers based on regional market shares. Additionally, EXE is uniquely positioned in these markets with the largest number of local offices staffed by resident professionals, and products which include multi-currency and multi-language capabilities.

"To be successful in the WMS market, companies must establish global sales, implementation, and support capabilities," said Steve Banker, director of Supply Chain Solutions for ARC and author of the study. "EXE continues to have the most extensive worldwide implementation capabilities in this marketplace."

The ARC Advisory Group anticipates that the ability to offer vertical specific solutions to multiple industries will be increasingly valuable in the coming years. EXE again holds a strong presence in all three industrial sectors: distribution and retail, manufacturing and 3PL. ARC shows that in 2001, EXE gained a significant market share increase in the 3PL sector with a 21 percent share of the market in 2001, over 17 percent in 2000. EXE increased its share of the grocery market in 2001 to 34.4 percent, as well as in the general merchandise retail sector with a 12 percent market share. Additionally, EXE holds the largest market share of WMS software and services to the high tech manufacturing vertical, and is the clear leader in indirect channels. In addition to global leadership, for the third consecutive year EXE is the leading WMS supplier to Tier 1 customers that have over $1 billion in annual revenues. Tier 1 customers traditionally utilize highly sophisticated solutions that bridge the gap between supply chain planning systems and warehouse execution.

"In 2001, EXE executed a business plan that drove full-featured, adaptable applications to our customers in the vertical markets. We have built a strong market share in various segments around the globe with our EXceed(TM) product suite, giving our customers a competitive advantage in supply chain execution," said Raymond Hood, chairman and CEO of EXE Technologies. "As EXE moves through the year 2002 and beyond, we will continue our disciplined approach of defining application requirements and stay focused on "execution," keeping EXE at the forefront of customers' vertical needs."
