Members to Help Steer Development of Solutions and Services

YARDLEY, PA, March 30, 2005 - Distributors know best what will help them in their day-to-day operations. Understanding this, Prophet 21 regularly asks distribution leaders to serve on industry advisory councils. These councils meet regularly with Prophet 21 staffers and suggest different features and functionality that will help increase sales, improve customer service, and reduce operating costs.

"The best way to develop the tools distributors need to improve their businesses is to listen and learn from them," said Chuck Boyle, Prophet 21 president and CEO. "Prophet 21 developed CommerceCenter, the leading enterprise software solutions, based on our years of experience working with distributors, and we plan to continue to increase the functionality of CommerceCenter based on our distributors' changing needs."

The Fluid Power Advisory Council recently held its kick-off meeting at Prophet 21's corporate headquarters in Yardley, PA. In addition to discussing industry trends and business processes, the council will offer feedback and guidance to help Prophet 21 develop stronger solutions and services for the fluid power industry.

Tom Nicholson, manager of finance and operations of the Wisconsin-based GS Hydraulics, Inc., attended the meeting. "This gave us a formal opportunity to get involved in helping to steer the development of the solution we use every day," he said. "We got a chance to dig into different issues and talk about different features and functionality that will help fluid power distributors do business better."
