Distribution Resources Inc., Announces Successful Transition hotels LyonEnglewood, CO -- March 21, 2001 -- Distribution Resources Company Inc. (DRC), a recognized leader in the distribution software industry, today announced its successful integration with S3, a venture backed corporation established for the acquisition of DRC. The two companies will be merged and DRC will be the surviving entity. With its new generation of software for distribution and fulfillment, DRC is poised to become a leader in the electronic commerce marketplace. In addition to software, DRC also offers professional services such as business consulting, implementation, training and support. "DRC offers more than software and we want everyone to know that we are a complete and effective distribution solution," states Scotte Hudsmith, CEO. "If one were to add up the years of experience around here, they would find that we have close to a millennium of expertise with the development, assessment and implementation of technology in the distribution industry." Even though DRC has existed since 1976, Hudsmith has instilled a new entrepreneurial spirit that has set a new tone within the organization. Bruce Down, of Tru Serve Canada and DRC User Group Advisory Council member, was recently on site in Englewood. Down stated, "When the Advisory Council first heard that DRC was reorganizing, they had some concerns, however after seeing things for themselves, it was clear that there is an energy around the office, everyone seems enthusiastic. It's rare for a company in this industry to possess the dedication and tenure among its employees that DRC does. I'm happy with what I see, time to move forward." Exp@dite, DRC's latest product offering, is a new visionary model of distribution and fulfillment. It is an enterprise solution built upon an NT/SQL Server platform that offers seamless automation within the supply chain as it manages the complexities of high volume transactions. Exp@dite is built to be web enabled and allows customers to participate in multiple forms of electronic business. The company is prepared for the future but recognizes that the key to its success has always been the development and support of its System for Distributors (SFD) and Management System for Distributors (MSD). DRC will continue to support and improve upon these systems while transitioning their focus to their newest product offering. Soon to be released is SFD+ which will bring new life to DRC's core product by bundling many additional features and modules. About Distribution Resources, Inc.
