Mid-Tier Office Chair Manufacturer Picks MercuryGate TMS

Cary, NC (January 2, 2006) - MercuryGate International Inc., a leading supplier of web-based transportation management software, announced today that SitOnIt Seating, Inc., a mid-tier office seating manufacturer, has selected MercuryGate's Transportation Management Solution (TMS) to manage its logistics transactions.

Using a process that combines the latest in lean manufacturing techniques with absolute attention to quality control, SitOnIt has 99% complete and on-time delivery. SitOnIt wanted a TMS that would allow the consolidation of customers' orders and provide meaningful data to help it discern freight cost drivers.

Monica B. Wooden, CEO of MerucryGate, said, "It's exciting that the key strength of our software supports SitOnIt's mission of speed and dependability in delivery. The power of real-time information in a consistent format for all users in the transportation management process is what our software does and strenghtens SitOnIt's competitive advantage."

MercuryGate's Web-based, end-to-end solution manages a company's entire shipping and transportation process and streamlines logistics procedures and costs by linking suppliers and customers through the Internet without the additional expense of a lengthy implementation. The MercuryGate TMS executes and monitors all shipments both inbound and outbound. Additionally, MercuryGate provides relevant, real-time information to all the parties involved. Depending on the security roles set by the user, MercuryGate allows the sharing of information and resources among suppliers, shippers, and partners; thus, reducing the loss of data that normally results from transferring data from one system to another.
