Commercial Grounds Care, Inc. Selects ARI's Suite of e-Catalog Products and Services.

ARI's Fast Deployment Capabilities Key to Relationship

MILWAUKEE -- ARI (OTCBB:ARIS), a leading provider of technology-enabled business solutions that help equipment dealers build sales and profits, today announced that Commercial Grounds Care, Inc. (CGC, Inc.), of Johnson Creek, WI, has selected ARI's EMPARTweb[TM] and PartSmart([R]) electronic parts catalogs, along with ARI's Shopping Cart and WarrantySmart[TM] for use by its 1,800 dealers and distributors throughout the U.S. CGC, Inc., an affiliate of Schiller-Pfeiffer, Inc. manufacturer of Little Wonder, Mantis and Classen brand outdoor power equipment, recently acquired the BOB-CAT[R], Brouwer[R], Bunton [R], Ryan[R] and Steiner[R] brands of power equipment from Textron, Inc. These brands have an enviable reputation in the Outdoor Power Equipment Industry.

Under the new, three-year exclusive agreement, ARI will host EMPARTweb and provide an interface to the CGC dealer intranet for Bunton, BOB-CAT and Ryan to provide on-demand access to its parts and service catalogs by dealers and distributors. PartSmart, will be used to deliver offline access to CGC parts. In addition, users will be able to easily submit online purchase orders using ARI's Shopping Cart feature, making the procedure more efficient and less time-consuming. ARI's WarrantySmart[TM] enables users to streamline product registration and warranty claim submission and processing, as well as to check claim status online.

"After Commercial Grounds Care, Inc. completed its acquisition of these brands we were faced with a major dilemma. We had only 45 days to deploy a CGC, Inc. parts catalog and ordering system of our own, since we no longer could use ARI products under the Textron umbrella," said Thomas Schwarz, chief financial officer for Schiller-Pfeiffer. "Working in conjunction with the CGC team, our goal was to make sure that CGC's dealers did not experience any interruptions during this transition, so we needed a company that could deploy these services quickly and efficiently. After looking at a number of vendor offerings, we selected ARI for four reasons. First, ARI was already publishing the commercial grounds care equipment catalogs for Textron, so our dealers are already using PartSmart today. Furthermore, ARI's web and CD catalogs have very similar functionality and user interfaces, so adding an online dimension to our approach was very straightforward. Third, ARI has been providing top-quality products, services and customer support in the Outdoor Power Equipment Industry for more than two decades. And, finally, ARI is a proven partner who is committed to working with us to meet our tight deadline," concluded Schwarz. According to Schwarz, CGC will update PartSmart on a quarterly basis and EMPARTweb as needed.

"When CGC came to us and asked for a fast deployment of our services, their needs became a top priority for us," said Brian E. Dearing, chairman and chief executive officer of ARI. "We have the proper support and ability to quickly install and activate our products and services in order to meet their upcoming deadline. We value CGC's business and we will do all that we can to exceed their expectations and add value to their business," concluded Dearing.
