Press Release Body: Leading European logistics company - ABX Logistics (UK) - has
gone live with ATMS's StockTrack PLUS (STP) at its operations in Thrapston and
Dublin.

ABX reviewed its systems when it extended its UK headquarters in Thrapston and
selected Birmingham-based ATMS plc as its warehouse management system supplier due
to the company's flexibility to meet the specialist needs of its clients and the
rich functionality of the STP system.

Derek Gibson, logistics director for ABX, said: "Our customers are looking for a
complete end-to-end service, and it is vital they feel confident that we have the
systems in place to take care of their goods from the moment it becomes our
responsibility until its safe delivery to their client."

The first stage of the project was to implement the StockTrack PLUS system in the
new 10,000 pallet capacity warehouse extension in Thrapston for the storage and
order fulfilment of china, glass and tableware. Due to the delicate nature of the
product, challenges included ensuring items were correctly located on receipt at the
warehouse which would enable the heaviest items to be picked first. The system also
needs to allow for carton and loose item picks and to be able to produce a suitably
detailed contents list for each outbound pallet.

The second stage of the implementation was to roll out the STP system to ABX's
Dublin logistics centre for a customer handling printed forms and documents for
banks, building societies and insurance companies.

Mr Gibson added: "In addition to handling the physical movement of goods we need to
offer our clients clear visibility as to the status of orders at any time, and full
traceability of items that have passed through our hands. With the ATMS system in
place we can show them that ABX is fully accountable and can provide the assurance
they require."

With the first two phases successfully up and running, the next stage is to extend
the system in to the distribution of footwear - which is a major part of ABX
Logistics' business.

Stephen Cross, managing director of ATMS plc, said: "StockTrack PLUS is already
widely used in both the apparel and corporate-wear industries and has proven ability
to pick by style/colour/style combinations, and to handle pre-packed items. In the
case of ABX this means ensuring that products arriving on site can be quickly
unloaded, checked and located in a transit warehouse for cross-docking or movement
into bulk or picking locations.

"With high volumes of fast moving products continually being received, StockTrack
PLUS will optimise the flow of goods and provide accurate and timely information
using the latest RF technology."
