Press Release Summary = Encompix ETO ERP Improves Inventory Management at AXH
Air-Coolers

Press Release Body = To cope with this explosive growth, AXH needed ERP software to
support their engineer-to-order business. \"We started with QuickBooks and
spreadsheets, but soon realized that we needed an ERP system to give us control over
the business,\" said Lynch who undertook the role of project manager. The initial
phase of the implementation was completed in 60 days. \"One of the advantages of
being a small company is that we could get all of the users involved with the
implementation, and this contributed to our success,\" said Lynch.

AXH is looking forward to accurate costing and improved inventory management. \"The
real-time costing information Encompix provides will enable us to understand and
control our costs,\" said Lynch. \"As a growing company, it is essential that we can
accommodate this increase in volume without adding more indirect staff. We believe
that Encompix will help us achieve these objectives.\"

AXH air-coolers (AXH) combines more than 40 years of experience and leadership in
the air-cooled heat exchanger industry. This fast-growing company went from zero to
275 employees in less than one year. \"We started as a sales and engineering company,
but in 2005 we started manufacturing our own products,\" said Jim Lynch, plant
manager. \"We built our first unit in 2005, now our plan for 2006 is over 2500
units.\"
