Leading Home Improvement Retailer Implements JDA’s Transportation & Logistics Management Solutions to Improve Overall Transportation Capabilities
Scottsdale, Ariz. – May 28, 2009 – JDA® Software Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: JDAS) announced today that leading home improvement retailer based in Mooresville, N.C., Lowe’s Companies Inc., is in the final phases of upgrading the cutting-edge JDA Transportation & Logistics Management solutions throughout its global transportation operations to support the company’s import logistics initiative. The final phases include regional rollouts in China as it strives to synchronize its international transportation business operations. The company has already gone live with the solutions in the United States, Southeast Asia, India, Israel, Europe and South America.
Lowe’s began utilizing JDA’s Transportation & Logistics Management solutions to optimize its domestic transportation operations. As the company increased its import business, the need developed for an all-inclusive platform to support the complexity of its import operations.
“With the growth of our import business, we found the need to obtain a comprehensive platform to manage both domestic and international import operations,” explained Steve Palmer, vice president of transportation, Lowe’s. “As we evaluated various vendors we soon realized that JDA could best support this business objective.”
Due to JDA’s transportation solution focus and expertise, Lowe’s collaborated with its long-time solution partner, JDA, to further develop the cutting-edge solution suite to manage and synchronize its global transportation operations. During its upgrade Lowe’s focused on the expanded functionality of JDA® Logistics Sourcing, JDA® Transportation Planning and JDA® Shipment Execution solutions.

Additionally, JDA Shipment Execution’s Web-based platform enables Lowe’s to interact with its carriers on booking, sailing schedules and status messaging in near real-time and is a key part of the transportation planning and execution solution.
Commenting on the partnership with Lowe’s and the solutions’ advanced capabilities, Wayne Usie, senior vice president of retail, JDA Software, said, “Our valued relationship with Lowe’s has led to a win-win situation in terms of helping improve its global operation and extending our solution leadership.

Weber Distribution Celebrates its 85-Year Anniversary
SANTA FE SPRINGS, California – May 28, 2009 – Weber Distribution, a
leading third party logistics and supply chain management provider,
celebrates its 85th anniversary this year. This marks the company as
one of the longest operating privately-held third party logistics
providers in the industry today, while continuing to expand its
service offerings with supply chain modeling and network optimization
solutions.
In 1924 Weber Distribution began its operations as a single warehouse
and trucking company and today it is a full service, complete
logistics provider offering contract logistics, shared facility
warehousing, nationwide LTL and TL services, freight management, and
transloading/cross docking, along with a wide-variety of value-added
services such as pick-pack, packaging, light assembly and full
automation. Weber specializes in working with importers, retailers,
food, beverage and CPG companies, and chemical and paper
manufacturers.
“We have longevity and a solid reputation in the markets we service,
which is always a positive for customers, especially in these
challenging economic times,” said Bill Butler, Weber’s president and
CEO. “Many logistics and transportation companies have merged or have
been acquired by other businesses as a result of insufficient funding,
but we have continued to invest in our employees, new technologies and
innovative and value-added services for our customers.”
“The 3PLs who are surviving and even thriving in this economy have an
industry knowledge that allows them to expand their existing solutions
and find new ways to service their customers such as with supply chain
modeling, network optimization and other value added strategies,” said
Butler. “Because of Weber’s staying power in the market, many
manufacturers have recently looked to us for non-traditional services
to save them money and improve cash flow.”
One such customer is California Innovations who recently asked Weber
to assemble its product at Weber’s Fontana, California-based facility.
“We have peace of mind with Weber,” said Carlos Garrido, California
Innovations’ director of operations (logistics & distribution). “They
have been in the business a long time which is indicative of their
ability to adapt and prosper in the 3PL industry. Their 85 years gives
us the confidence that we are partnering with someone who is not a
fly-by-night operation.”
Butler said that Weber has also worked hard to create a stable working
environment for its employees, even in tough times. “This offers a
tremendous advantage to our customers because from warehousing to
customer service to drivers to senior management, we have employees
who have been with Weber for 15, 20, even 30 years.”
As a result, Weber has been doing business with many of its customers
for more than a decade, including VONS/Safeway (20 years), Arkema Inc.
(18 years), ISP (18 years), Capsugel (12 years), Agfa (10 years),

NFI Launches New Brand Identity
One of America’s Leaders in Integrated Supply Chain Solutions Announces New Branding Campaign Just in Time for National Transportation Month
CHERRY HILL, NJ, May 26, 2009 – One of the country’s most diverse supply chain solutions companies is announcing the launch of its new brand identity in celebration of and in coordination with National Transportation Month which takes place annually in May. NFI, formerly known by a number of different names – National Freight, National Distribution Centers, NFI Interactive Logistics - is launching a new brand campaign, logo and Web site to more effectively convey the wide range of services provided by the company.
“Our new brand identity is intended to address the fact that our history and success as a trucking company often obscures the full range and diversity of NFI’s services,” said Sid Brown, NFI’s CEO. “The excellence we bring to our transportation division extends across all aspects of the supply chain: distribution, warehousing, packaging, logistics, intermodal and real estate. NFI is a one-stop resource for integrated supply chain solutions, and our new brand exemplifies that fact.”
NFI is a family of companies dedicated to serving the supply chain industry by offering logistics, distribution, truckload and dedicated freight, warehousing and intermodal services across the U.S. In 1932, the company, then known as National Hauling, was started with one dump truck by Israel Brown. Today, run by the third generation of the Brown family, NFI has grown to become one of America's leading integrated supply chain solutions providers. Customers include Anheuser-Busch InBev, Nestle Waters North America, Vought Aircraft, Hanesbrands Inc., Wal-Mart, Lowes, Trader Joe’s and more.
NFI’s new brand will be featured in trade publication advertisements and on its tractors, trailers, and distribution and terminal facilities. The company is also launching a newly enhanced web site -www.NFIindustries.com - to coincide with the new brand roll out.
Currently, eight divisions operate under the NFI umbrella: Logistics, Distribution, Transportation OTR, Transportation Dedicated, Intermodal, Global Services, Contract Packaging and Decorating, and Real Estate. All of NFI’s divisions share a commitment to the environment and to social responsibility. NFI is a pioneering member of the Environmental Protection Agency’s SmartWay Transportation Partnership program, a cooperative effort between the EPA and the transportation industry to increase energy efficiency and reduce the impact on the environment. In recognition of NFI’s commitment to achieving their EPA SmartWay energy efficiency goals, NFI won the prestigious EPA’s SmartWay Excellence Award in 2006 and 2008.
"We've invested hundreds of millions of dollars in new equipment," said Ike Brown, NFI Vice Chairman who runs the company with his brothers, Sid and Jeffrey. "We are responsible to the motoring public to be on the forefront of the technology available to us, to put a safe truck and driver on the road, and to cut down on our emissions as much as possible."

“Our new brand identity is intended to address the fact that our history and success as a trucking company often obscures the full range and diversity of NFI’s services,” said Sid Brown, NFI’s CEO. “The excellence we bring to our transportation division extends across all aspects of the supply chain: distribution, warehousing, packaging, logistics, intermodal and real estate. NFI is a one-stop resource for integrated supply chain solutions, and our new brand exemplifies that fact.”
NFI is a family of companies dedicated to serving the supply chain industry by offering logistics, distribution, truckload and dedicated freight, warehousing and intermodal services across the U.S. In 1932, the company, then known as National Hauling, was started with one dump truck by Israel Brown. Today, run by the third generation of the Brown family, NFI has grown to become one of America's leading integrated supply chain solutions providers. Customers include Anheuser-Busch InBev, Nestle Waters North America, Vought Aircraft, Hanesbrands Inc., Wal-Mart, Lowes, Trader Joe’s and more.
NFI’s new brand will be featured in trade publication advertisements and on its tractors, trailers, and distribution and terminal facilities. The company is also launching a newly enhanced web site -www.NFIindustries.com - to coincide with the new brand roll out.
Currently, eight divisions operate under the NFI umbrella: Logistics, Distribution, Transportation OTR, Transportation Dedicated, Intermodal, Global Services, Contract Packaging and Decorating, and Real Estate. All of NFI’s divisions share a commitment to the environment and to social responsibility. NFI is a pioneering member of the Environmental Protection Agency’s SmartWay Transportation Partnership program, a cooperative effort between the EPA and the transportation industry to increase energy efficiency and reduce the impact on the environment. In recognition of NFI’s commitment to achieving their EPA SmartWay energy efficiency goals, NFI won the prestigious EPA’s SmartWay Excellence Award in 2006 and 2008.
"We've invested hundreds of millions of dollars in new equipment," said Ike Brown, NFI Vice Chairman who runs the company with his brothers, Sid and Jeffrey. "We are responsible to the motoring public to be on the forefront of the technology available to us, to put a safe truck and driver on the road, and to cut down on our emissions as much as possible."
