PackManagerTM and SPSCommerce.net Integration Maximizes Supply Chain Efficiency for Universal Container - "We are continuously seeking to improve our processes..." said Cameron Dube

TORONTO – June 1, 2010: Nulogy Corporation, the leading provider of Enterprise Performance Management solutions for contract packagers and manufacturers, announced today with Universal Container & Packaging, LLC (UCPACK) and SPS Commerce (NASDAQ: SPSC), the successful implementation and utilization of the PackManagerTM Application Programming Interface (API) at UCPACK's California site.

"We are continuously seeking to improve our processes," said Cameron Dube, Owner and President of UCPACK. "PackManager has given us the ability to extend beyond our four walls, and integrate with our trading partners' systems for seamless workflow automation. On a day-to-day level, the instant API-enabled information exchanges have helped us reduce labor effort and errors, and cut unnecessary costs."

The new solution allows companies utilizing PackManager, such as UCPACK, to easily integrate with their customers’ ERP systems, further deepening partner relationships and adding value throughout the supply chain. Using Nulogy's PackManager API, SPS Commerce’s on-demand supply chain solution is able to automate information flows via EDI between UCPACK and its customer, a large international consumer brand. The streamlined workflow captures a key process step as data is introduced into and outputted by the PackManager system. An easy-to-use interface allows PackManager users to quickly adopt the new, advanced technology.

The Nulogy and SPS Commerce teams worked quickly and closely to build an effective API/EDI framework. Both companies operate on the leading Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) platform, allowing UCPACK to immediately deploy and benefit from the solution. After experiencing notable time and cost savings, plus data entry error reduction, UCPACK has decided to increase the points of integration to further harmonize and coordinate the supply chain network of the contract packager and its customers. "Our goal is to provide our customers with a total solution that optimizes their operations," says Jason Tham, CEO of Nulogy. "After a successful implementation, we are thrilled to be working with SPS Commerce again to help both UCPACK and their customer maximize efficiency."

"SaaS, or on-demand, services continually deliver rapid deployment and results for its users," stated Archie Black, president and CEO of SPS Commerce. "We are pleased to team with Nulogy to help UCPACK streamline its supply chain by improving visibility and communications with its customers."
