DALLAS--Sept. 17, 2001--EXE Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq:EXEE), a leading supply chain execution solutions provider, announced today that UNIVEG Group of Companies in Belgium has selected EXE`s EXceed(TM) to streamline management of its supply chain, enabling the company to deliver superior customer service as it moves fresh goods quickly and accurately to distributors/vendors across Europe.
UNIVEG, a specialized third party logistics (3PL) provider and comprised of 35 companies, enjoys annual revenues of 450 million Euro.

"EXE Technologies was the only company of its kind to offer a world-class, highly functional warehouse management system (WMS), true labor standards control and administrative management tools necessary to run the daily operations of Novaveg`s temperature controlled distribution centers," stated Walter Van Looy, senior business manager, UNIVEG. "EXE`s prevailing geographical coverage and expertise and track record in the fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG), retail and 3PL sectors was key to our decision. We were aware of EXE before making the decision to purchase EXceed. A recognized worldwide retailer and UNIVEG client has used the EXceed system for a number of years, so we knew the capabilities of the software and had experienced the business benefits well in advance."
"We`re delighted to be involved in this project," commented Ir Jaap Groot, senior vice president and managing director EMEA, EXE. "Novaveg`s need to work with a single vendor in Europe underscores the strategic advantage of our geographic reach.
