ASSIST Corp. Announces Release of ASSISTics Software Product

DOWNINGTOWN, PA - November 1, 2001 - ASSIST Corp., a leading solutions provider for the Process Manufacturing industry, announces the release of ASSISTics v1.1. ASSISTics fills a much-needed void in the Warehouse Management Systems (WMS) space through leading-edge technology for Process Manufacturers.

In the past three years, ASSIST has earned a reputation of providing leading technology solutions to manufacturers worldwide. With more than 30 clients in North America and Europe, ASSIST has extensive experience working with manufacturers in many industries including food, chemicals, and agriculture.

In continuing to address the needs of manufacturing companies, ASSIST created the ASSISTics Warehouse and Inventory Management solution to fill the void in the marketplace. Built on a J2EE-compliant architecture and using the latest bar-code scanner technology, ASSISTics takes the warehouse into the 21st century.

As a company that provides solutions to process manufacturers, ASSIST leveraged their experience and knowledge to create a best-of-breed solution that addresses the pains felt in the warehouse today.

"Our clients continually expressed the need for a Warehouse solution that moved beyond the traditional text based screens and data-segregated environments of current WMS solutions," says Mark Scanlon, President of ASSIST. "In our continued focus to address the needs of our clients and the broader marketplace, we created a solution that can move manufacturing companies and their warehouses into today's complex environment."

ASSISTics is a true client-server intranet based system. The only installation required on the client is a web-browser. This results in significant time and cost savings during implementation. Once installed, ASSISTics provides a number of standard transactions for data collection, shipping and receiving. Additionally, ASSISTics is customizable for specialized needs.

ASSISTics also comes standard with the Task Management Console (TMC). The TMC provides the supervisor a complete real-time view of all the activities being performed in the warehouse. This includes the ability to monitor order fulfillment, production, receiving, and cycle counting. All activity can be monitored from anywhere - warehouse, front office, or even at home - by a PC with a web browser installed.

ASSISTics' Product Architect, Scott Melcher, is confident that all of these attributes add up to the ultimate goal - quick return on investment. "Based on our experience working with this product and others, we expect our customers to see a return on investment in a matter of months as opposed to years. ASSISTics raises the bar for Warehouse Management Solutions."
