EDEN PRAIRIE, MN (July 10, 2001) -Circuit City has selected HighJump Software`s Warehouse Advantage® Suite of Internet-enabled supply chain execution (SCE) solution to improve customer service and streamline operations at all seven of its U.S. distribution facilities.

"We view every component of the supply chain as our `customer base.` The end goal, of course, is to deliver unparalleled
customer service. It was clear after our in-depth research and analysis that HighJump was the best vendor to meet our expectations and our customers` needs."
