Celerity Implements Advanced Supply Chain Planner.

CONCORD, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 30, 1998--Celerity Solutions, Inc., (Nasdaq:CLTY), a leading single-source solution for supply chain and warehouse management software, announced today the first implementation of it advanced planning system Supply Chain Planner at United Liquors Ltd. United Liquors is a $500 million liquor wholesaler with headquarters in Bridgewater, Massachusetts.

Supply Chain Planner is based on a patented planning algorithm that enables companies to respond quickly and automatically to changes in supply and demand, a critical element to the success of their clients. The product allows a company to capture supply and demand changes in real time in order to re-plan automatically and respond immediately. Such responsiveness allows companies to improve customer service and reduce inventory levels.

At ULL, Supply Chain Planner maintains a demand forecast as well as a model describing United Liquors' supply chain. The model includes sourcing rules, shipping and calendar constraints, order policies, lead times, safety stock and excess stock level policies. A schedule of planned supply orders is maintained continuously as supply, demand and planning rules change. Several options are provided for transitioning planned orders into open orders. The Load Building facility within Supply Chain Planner is used to group planned purchase orders from California wineries to full truckloads. When the routing for the truck is confirmed, purchase orders are created automatically.

According to Art Edelstein Director of Purchasing "The Planner has dramatically reduced the time required to plan and issue purchase orders. Our buyers will be able to shift their focus from ordering to forecasting. We expect the improvements in productivity and inventory planning to contribute significantly toward our bottom line this year."
