DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 7, 2001

Canadian Tire Corporation Achieves New Operational Efficiencies with

EXE's Supply Chain Execution Software

EXE Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq: EXEE), a leading global supply chain execution solutions provider, announced today that Canadian Tire Corporation, Limited has implemented the EXceed(TM) software solution and is now successfully fulfilling online and catalog orders. EXceed coordinates order management, receiving, stocking, replenishment, allocation, picking, shipping, and inventory management throughout Canadian Tire's distribution facilities.

Canadian Tire launched its consumer online business, www.canadiantire.ca, in November 2000 and quickly became one of the ten most visited e-Commerce sites in Canada. The organization has become one of few Canadian retailers to offer multi-channel retailing including in stores, by catalogue and by phone. Canadian Tire distributes approximately 10 million copies of its catalog each year and this spring the company doubled its online product assortment to more than 12,000 online products, nearly half of which are featured in this year's Canadian Tire catalog. As one of the most utilized retail catalogs and most frequented online retail Web sites in Canada, Canadian Tire needs to provide a shopping experience that creates repeat buyers. Doing so requires that the right products be delivered to the right place at the right time.

"EXceed, implemented at Canadian Tire with implementation support from Cap Gemini Ernst & Young, has proven to be highly functional and very versatile," stated Bruce Johnson, vice president, Distribution and Express Auto Parts, Canadian Tire Corporation, Limited. "The success of the implementation is directly attributable to effective project management, limited customization to the product and the easy conversion to support. With EXceed, we can get products to the customer accurately and on-time."

In addition to the core EXceed solution, Canadian Tire utilizes EXceed Value to customize the packaging and labeling of orders.

"Meeting customer expectations through a variety of retail channels is the business challenge facing companies like Canadian Tire," stated Raymond Hood, chief executive officer, EXE Technologies. "We're committed to helping retailers streamline supply chain processes in order to meet customer demand and improve customer loyalty. Our product functionality and industry expertise make us the obvious solution for this dynamic industry."
