The Next Dimension in Technology for Real-World, Real-Time Control

TrackAbout^® and TECSYS^® form partnership to provide distributors of fixed and portable assets with leading-edge technology to manage their assets, maximize their rental, and gain visibility into their business processes.

Orlando, FL, October 13, 2006—TrackAbout, a technology leader in asset tracking and management for the packaged gas industry and TECSYS, an industry-leading supply chain management software company, announced a technology partnership combining best-in-class software solutions to enable distributors of fixed and portable assets of all kinds to better run their entire business.

Recognizing the need in a market that has long been held hostage by old technology, TrackAbout and TECSYS have joined forces to deliver a best-in-class software alternative for distributors. The combined solution, delivered via a web-browser, provides real-world, real-time control with minimal IT involvement. “Now distributors can be assured of the quality and accuracy of data collected in the field, have confidence that their rental balances are correct and gain real-time visibility to the information needed to make better business decisions,” said Jim Glessner, Chairman of TrackAbout.

This next dimension in technology delivers three key benefits to allow distributors to take control of their complex, transaction-rich businesses:

• A culture of accuracy—continually corrected and reliable asset data provides a single, unified view of the truth and contributes to a culture of accuracy within an organization
• Supply chain excellence—effectively addresses the many challenges of transaction-rich businesses by providing instant visibility, processing power and access to pertinent, real-time information
• Informed decision-making—provides a shared resource of accurate information with easy-to-access reporting and analysis, ensuring distributors have the information they need to make the best decisions.

This unified solution takes the complexity out of data accuracy, provides focus and operational clarity across the distribution processes, and ensures distributors have the right information to make the right business decisions. “I have been waiting a long time for a solution that meets the needs of gas distributors in today’s world. The TrackAbout/TECSYS combined solution is it,” says Myles Dempsey, from TechAir.

“By utilizing our combined technology, distributors with fixed and portable assets of all kinds can quickly turn real-world data into actionable information for better business control and results,” concludes Peter Brereton President & Co-CEO of TECSYS.
