PLYMOUTH MEETING, Pa. & ROCKVILLE, Md.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 14, 2002

GATX affiliate ChemLogix LLC, a leading supplier of chemical logistics and inventory management services to the chemical industry, and Manugistics Group, Inc. (Nasdaq:MANU), the leading global provider of Enterprise Profit Optimization(TM) (EPO) solutions, today announced that Manugistics logistics management solutions are being used to help power the ChemLogix Transportation Management Center (TMC).

ChemLogix's TMC is designed to provide mid-market chemical manufacturers and distributors with Web-enabled, hosted access to the same advanced transportation technology used by major producers and distributors. Using Manugistics logistics management solutions, TMC can enable chemical companies and their trading partners to: reduce costs by consolidating loads, optimizing mode selection and planning continuous moves; reduce phone and fax time by electronically tendering loads and communicating with carriers, as well as automatically reconciling and paying freight bills; view in real-time load status, carrier performance, non-conformance alerts and reports; and enhance decision-making and carrier negotiations with complete, accurate and easily accessible historical data and customized reports.

"ChemLogix continues to adopt industry-leading technology like that of Manugistics to enable us to optimize transportation assets and shipments, reduce empty miles, and provide our clients with succinct, actionable management information," said J. Stephen Hamilton, president and CEO of ChemLogix. "Manugistics logistics management solutions are enabling some of the best known chemical and energy companies to save tens of millions of dollars in freight costs while maintaining or improving customer service. We now offer mid-market chemical companies access to these robust solutions on an ASP basis, which can be a less-costly alternative to the larger IT investment typically required to implement these solutions within the enterprise."

"Manugistics solutions have a long and proven implementation success record across many of the chemical and energy industry's leading global companies," said Jeff Smith, Manugistics group vice president of chemicals and energy. "As the key technology behind ChemLogix's TMC, we look forward to helping their mid-market chemical industry customers align their logistics costs with those of the major producers and distributors."

Manugistics' chemical and energy industry clients include 4 of the top 5 in the Fortune 500(R). Industry leaders such as BASF, BP, Cabot, DuPont, Elemica, ExxonMobil, Mitsui Chemicals, Repsol, Rhodia, Rohm and Haas, Royal Dutch Shell, Van Waters & Rogers, and Vulcan Chemicals are all utilizing, or in the process of implementing, Manugistics solutions.
