Business Editors/Hi-Tech Writers

BRACKNELL, U.K.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 21, 2002

Manugistics Group, Inc. (Nasdaq:MANU), the leading global provider of Enterprise Profit Optimisation (EPO) solutions that help companies enhance margins by lowering costs and improving revenues across their supply-demand networks, today announced that DHL Aviation - the transportation division of DHL Worldwide Express, the global leader of the international air express industry - will implement a Manugistics Pricing and Revenue Optimisation (PRO) solution as the foundation for an advanced network planning process.

DHL Aviation will use the solution to produce more accurate network plans that can better determine the attractiveness of serving a particular sector, then assign suitable aircraft and allocate capacity to meet customer demand. DHL Aviation's objective is to plan its operations for profitability rather than on the more traditional volume and availability basis typical in the express industry.

Terry Nord, Managing Director, DHL Aviation said: "The Manugistics solution will give us the visibility to more quickly identify our excess capacity, determine the opportunity costs of entering a new market, and then apply capacity to the market at price points that satisfy the customer. Manugistics proved to us that their solution aligns with the requirements of our business, and that they are firmly committed to our strategic growth objectives."

The solution will initially be centred out of DHL Aviation's European operational headquarters in Brussels, encompassing more than 100 aircraft. The company is exploring a world-wide roll out of the solution across its fleet of more than 250 aircraft.

Greg Cudahy, executive vice president of pricing and revenue optimisation for Manugistics, commented: "Manugistics has deep domain experience in offering differentiated Pricing and Revenue Optimisation solutions to the airline, travel, transport and hospitality markets, along with a proven track record of delivering quick return on investment. DHL joins a growing number of international businesses that have turned to Manugistics PRO solutions to build and sustain a critical competitive advantage."
