WATERLOO, Ontario—November 26, 2008—Descartes Systems Group, a global on-demand software-as-a-service (SaaS) logistics solutions provider, has extended its relationship to provide Delta Cargo with technology underlying Delta Cargo’s electronic air freight booking portal at deltacargo.com.

Delta Cargo has selected Descartes’ GF-X Private Label solution to support deltacargo.com, a Delta-branded electronic booking portal for major freight forwarders and known shippers working with Delta Cargo. Deltacargo.com has been enhanced to offer full international route and product offerings in addition to Delta Cargo’s domestic freight booking service. Shippers may also book dangerous goods, human remains and pets through the portal.

Delta Cargo customers can use the private-label solution to book cargo through the www.deltacargo.com web site and query their shipment needs. The system responds with details on available cargo capacity and rates. When a cargo reservation is made online through the Delta Cargo web site, an electronic confirmation is delivered to the customer. Freight allocations can also be booked through deltacargo.com.

“We have been a long-time customer of the GF-X Exchange. Extending our relationship with Descartes to include a private-label portal is a natural progression for Delta and a commitment of our brand and service to our customers,” said Neel Shah, Vice President of Delta Cargo “Descartes’ GF-X Private Label allows us to provide advanced electronic booking functionality, any time day or night, for our customers using a cost effective and proven solution. This is an important part of our continued commitment to service our customers.”

“Delta Cargo is a global carrier with a long and established brand in air cargo,” said Ed Ryan, Executive Vice President, Global Field Operations for Descartes. “As operational costs increase and international trade grows, the need for automation and access to booking information and services in real time also grows. With Descartes’ GF-X Private Label, Delta can provide electronic booking capabilities via its web portal to reach forwarders throughout the world.”

Descartes GF-X Exchange is one of the largest electronic information and reservation systems in the airfreight industry. Airfreight carriers can distribute real-time product, routing, capacity and rate information to their forwarders worldwide. Airfreight forwarders can access carrier information, make electronic bookings and track shipments via a web browser, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

The Descartes GF-X Private Label service is a unique way for carriers to deploy a fully-featured electronic bookings channel without the higher costs and risks associated with in-house development in a way that utilizes existing processes and interfaces to the Descartes GF-X Exchange.

Descartes GF-X Exchange and Private Label are part of the Descartes Global Logistics Network™ (GLN), which enables the world’s leading transportation providers to connect to their trading partners and reliably exchange information to drive delivery performance and high levels of customer satisfaction.

WATERLOO, Ontario— November 25, 2008 — Descartes Systems Group, a global on-demand software-as-a-service (SaaS) logistics solutions provider, responded to the new U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Importer Security Filing (ISF) “10+2” rule by forming a Descartes “10+2” Workgroup. The Descartes “10+2” Workgroup is designed for leading importers, customs brokers, carriers, freight forwarders, non-vessel operating common carriers (NVOCCs), and shippers — including representation from the top 5 integrators and leading international freight forwarders — to standardize and develop best practices across this global logistics community for this new rule.

Today, CBP officially released its long-awaited interim final rule on the Importer Security Filing, also known as the “10+2” rule. Under this rule, beginning January 26, 2009, importers will be required to provide CBP with additional data elements 24 hours prior to lading for all ocean shipments inbound to the United States. This security measure is often referred to as “10+2” because the regulation requires the collection of 10 new data elements from importers or their agents and two message sets from the ocean carriers. The goal is to have these data elements submitted 24 hours prior to vessel departure and the two new message sets from ocean carriers within 48 hours of vessel departure, however, CBP has allowed for some flexibility in this timing and submission of the data elements.

Descartes’ “10+2” Workgroup objectives are to:

• Automate and standardize this business process across all parties involved

• Provide the interpretation and understanding of the final ISF rule and its impact on the industry

• Provide insight on optimal data and work flow options between the importer, forwarder, broker, carrier, other agents and CBP

• Provide guidance on future complementary solutions to assist in further streamlining international trade

“The ISF 10+2 requirement is a multiparty process. The business process and work flows will need to be defined as they will be different across the multiple parties and therefore will not be a one size solution that fits all,” said Ed Ryan, Executive Vice President, Global Field Operations at Descartes. “Descartes’ role is to enable our global logistics community to help manage this process in the most effective and efficient manner.”

Descartes previously announced the availability of its Importer Security Filing (ISF) “10+2” Service to address the CBP interim final rule.

For importers, customs brokers, carriers, freight forwarders, non-vessel operating common carriers (NVOCCs), and shippers, the Descartes ISF Service offers a complete solution to help them comply with the new regulations. To accommodate customers’ varying technical capabilities, Descartes offers options that range from a user-friendly Web solution that permits manual entry of data information to a tightly integrated system-to-system electronic data interchange (EDI) connection. Regardless of the option chosen, Descartes ISF Service submits required data information electronically to CBP and gathers the status of that filing in real-time.

Descartes offers three different ISF Service delivery options accommodate varying customer needs:

• DESCARTES ISF: This simple web user interface (UI) enables customers to login via the Internet and enter all the data required for an ISF filing (5 or 10). This service sends the data directly to CBP and provides a view of the filing status. Customers have the option of receiving the status updates via EDI if they choose. E-alerts can also be used to notify the customers via email if there is a problem with the filing.

• DESCARTES ISF - CONNECT: This service enables customers to gather the complete data set for the ISF filing in their own systems for submission to CBP. The service transmits the data for each ISF filing and provides a status of the filing via electronic message for posting in the customer’s own system. All transmissions are made via the Descartes Global Logistics Network’s secure connection to CBP.

• DESCARTES ISF - PREMIER: This service enables the customers to collect the data needed for the ISF filing from multiple electronic document submissions or parties, including data sources such as a Purchase Order or ASN. Once the data is collected for the partial ISF filing, the customer can complete the remaining required fields and submit the filing to customs via the user interface as needed.

Descartes’ ISF Service is a part of the Descartes’ Global Logistics Network (GLN) Customs Filing & Compliance suite. The GLN helps automate, manage and streamline the end-to-end shipment process, from source to consumer, with ongoing real-time visibility. Descartes’ customs filing and compliance services help companies meet regulatory requirements for international shipments for both international customs agencies and security initiatives.

Descartes ISF “10+2” Readiness Program

Last week, Descartes announced its ISF Readiness Program. This ISF Readiness Program is designed to inform, educate and provide first-hand access to importers, customs brokers, carriers, freight forwarders, non-vessel operating common carriers (NVOCCs) and shippers to the Descartes ISF Services.

JERICHO, NY – November 24, 2008 – Automotive aftermarket manufacturers find themselves in a precarious position as a result of the downturn in the nation’s economy. On the one hand, the market for aftermarket products is strong, as many consumers are opting to forego new car purchases in favor of maintaining existing vehicles. But, the costs of moving those car and truck parts through the supply chain have increased dramatically in recent months. As a result, many automotive aftermarket manufacturers are looking to an experienced logistics provider, Purolator USA, for cost-savings solutions and insight into the unique needs of the industry.Purolator USA offers comprehensive logistics services for shipments traveling across the border into Canada as well as for shipments traveling within the United States. Purolator is noted for its extensive distribution networks within each country, its cross border and regulatory expertise, and for its high level of customer service. “Purolator’s core strengths can really help automotive aftermarket manufacturers during the current economic downturn,” says Purolator USA Director of Transportation Solutions, Michael Locke. Each Purolator USA customer works with a service professional to understand the unique needs of the customer’s supply chain. A client relations representative, who understands each of the customers’ needs, ensures the individualized logistics plan is maintained. This is particularly important in the automotive aftermarket industry, where time is of the essence in getting an auto or truck part delivered to a waiting customer.“Our logistics specialists are able to help customers evaluate their shipping needs and priorities, and put together cost efficient logistics solutions that ensure timely delivery,” says Locke. “We have many tools to offer our customers that help us control costs while ensuring a smooth and timely logistics process.”Purolator USA often evaluates shipment linehaul, which results in lower transit costs. For goods crossing the border, consolidating shipments can mean minimal delays and reduced import fees, since consolidated goods cross the border as single shipment, rather than as a group of individual packages.Purolator also offers aftermarket manufacturers access to its deep distribution networks throughout both the U.S. and Canada. “Goods travel on a Purolator truck with minimal stopovers or transfers, and customers in even the most remote regions of the two countries can be accessed,” says Locke. “And,” he adds, “Many aftermarketers are realizing that it makes sense to send return shipments back with Purolator. This way, we’re able to maximize efficiencies and better manage costs.”This increased attention to customers’ bottom lines comes at a time when transportation logistics are at a high. A recent study by the Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals found that American businesses spent $1.4 trillion on logistics last year. While fuel prices have come down, logistics prices overall remain high due to decreased volume and higher operating costs.“While there is no magic solution, we can make sure customers are operating as wisely and efficiently as possible,” Locke said. Purolator USA is the small-package and freight forwarding subsidiary of Canada’s leading overnight courier company. In the United States, Purolator USA has doubled the size of its office network during the past 18 months, with branches now operating in Los Angeles, Seattle, Chicago, Detroit, Dallas/Ft. Worth, Philadelphia, Raleigh/Durham, Buffalo, New York/Metro and Newburgh, NY.For more information about Purolator USA, please visit www.purolatorusa.com.###

Linde Material Handling, welcomed the crème de la crème of Arla Foods’ forklift operators, during Arla Foods first-ever “Driver of the Year” competition. Ten of Arla Foods’ top forklift drivers, from the company’s site in Leeds, were placed in engaging head-to-head competitions to test both skills and operational knowledge.

“The entire competition went as ‘smooth as butter’ and we’re eagerly looking forward to massively expanding the event in 2009,” beamed Andrew Ramsden, one of Arla Foods’ key Warehouse Operatives who helped arrange the competition.

“Linde’s Basingstoke facility provided the perfect venue for this event, and everyone got a first-rate tour of the factory. Everyone was markedly impressed by the actual manufacturing process that goes on here,” noted Andrew Ramsden. “This was a great chance for our employees to see the care and detail that goes into each and every one of these machines. I, personally, found Linde’s X-range, with its wider, fixed mast to be very impressive. I can see where Linde really works to improve safety by increasing visibility.”

Linde, which employs some 700 people at its large facility in Basingstoke, has proved an attractive venue for forklift competitions. In August, the logistics division of the Co-operative Group held their National Material Handling Equipment (MHE) Competition at the facility. Last year, Linde’s impressive factory in Basingstoke reported the production of approximately 11,000 units for both the UK and overseas markets. With solid sales revenues topping £500 million, Linde is the UK’s only major forklift truck manufacturer.

“This is one of the best examples of a real British manufacturing factory with a solid level of forklift production. We start with the basic, raw sheets of metal and produce a high-end quality machine, all right here. Companies like to host events here, especially these competitions, because we offer the factory tour which allows everyone to see the entire process from the initial design concept to the final coat of paint,” remarked David Bowen, Linde’s Sales and Product Training Manager.

This is the first time Arla Foods has decided to sponsor such a competition for their forklift drivers. “This year was a pilot. We opened up initial rounds of selection from our National Distribution Centre (NDC) in Leeds. Following a knowledge and driving test, we narrowed down the five-top finalists from both the reach truck and low-level order picking categories,” explained Andrew Ramsden. In total, 10 of Arla’s drivers from Leeds visited Linde to compete.

Arla Foods’ drivers are adept at using Linde products, which proved one of the primary reasons for selecting Linde as a co-host. Andrew Ramsden briefly described the Linde product and services used at Leeds NDC:

“For our low level pickers, of which we operate about 35 machines on a 24/7 basis, we chose Linde’s N20 because of the comfort and well-thought out design features. For our reach trucks, we rely on Linde’s R16 and R20 because of their durability and impeccable energy efficiency. Overall, Linde provided us with the best value, and we’re dedicated customers.”

Commenting on the strong relationship between Linde and Arla Foods, James Bridson Arla Foods Warehouse Manager at the Stourton NDC, said: “This has been the perfect venue for us to reinforce our commitment to one another. Linde has a fantastic factory and the people are 100 per cent professional.”

James Bridson added: “The aim of this competition was to reward our employees for all their hard work and dedication. We’re very grateful for the great job they do, and this is our way of saying thanks.” Arla Foods consulted with Linde for seven-months in order to make this event as engaging and encouraging as possible. According to David Bowen: “Linde wanted to help Arla offer a program that would be skilfully challenging, but, ultimately, just a whole lot of fun.”

With goody bags, trophies, cash prices, plus three-days off work and, in the words of one competitor, ’a cracking good time’, the event proved a brilliant success for all involved. At the award ceremony (see results in ‘Notes to Editors’), James Bridson reinforced earlier comments that the competition had gone, ’as smooth as butter,’ appropriate assessment given that Arla Foods is the UK’s leading dairy company.

Smiling with his trophy, Anthony ’Tony’ Smith, one of the competitors in the reach truck category, commented: “I’ve taken so much away from this, just an absolutely brilliant idea. We’ve all been having a good laugh at how we’re all going to go back and ‘spread the word’ about what a good idea this is and what a great time we’ve had.”

When the competitors return to their NDC in Leeds they will be asked to provide their comments and suggestions regarding the event. Arla Foods expects to ’greatly expand’ this competition for 2009, opening it up to forklift truck drivers from all nine of its distribution centres across the UK. Stated James Bridson, “We’re looking forward to coming back to Linde next year.”

With the Green Apple Environmental Award already secured, the Health and Safety Department at Linde Material Handling’s Basingstoke facility, has taken home another top honour for their environmental achievements. At a ceremony held on 10 November at the House of Commons, Linde won the Green Champion Award in the Green Apple’s Recycling Projects category. As a Green Champion, Linde placed ahead of the regular gold, silver and bronze finishers.

As a Green Champion, the highest scoring of the Green Apple winners, Linde moves another crucial step forward with an even greater chance to represent the UK in the European Business Awards for the Environment (EBAE).

Linde was originally nominated for the award because of their exemplary practices, first recognised by waste contractors, Mitie Waste and Environmental. Mitie produced a report entitled ‘Linde makes the move to recycle’, highlighting and recognising the superior efforts that all Linde staff have taken in order to reduce and recycle the some 2000 tonnes of waste that was previously produced at the Basingstoke facility.

Paul Green, Linde’s Safety and Environmental Advisor, accepted the Green Champion Award on behalf of the company. Paul noted, “Because of active staff participation and a company wide dedication to improving the environment, Linde’s landfill disposals have been reduced to just below 250 tonnes.”

In addition, Linde was praised for effectively increasing its on site recycling initiatives. On average, the company is now able to recycle an astounding 68% of its refuse per-year.

The green apple awards, now in their fifteenth year, attract more than 500 nominations per year. The awards are organised by the Green organisation, an independent, non-political, non-profit environmental group dedicated to recognising, rewarding and promoting environmental best practice.

Currently, the EBAE nominations are being assessed. As Linde has been named a Green Champion, they have a very solid chance of being to chosen as the UK representative at the European ceremony. A separate judging panel is now reviewing each of the UK’s Green Champions and Linde has been informed that they will receive final word from the EBAE by the end of November.

Of Linde’s environmental goals for the future, Paul Green stated, “This has been a remarkably successful project for all of us here in Basingstoke. We’re honoured to be named Green Champions and to have our efforts recognised. This certainly encourages us and challenges us to consider other areas within our facility were we can direct positive environmental action. So much can be done, and we’re eager to take the initiative.”

Huntington Beach, California - November 18, 2008

Freightgate today announced that Tariff-Trek!, its contract rate and tariff management system, now supports multi-level surcharge structures that are emerging in the Steamship industry. Most notable is Maersk’s October announcement of a newly calculated CAF (currency adjustment factor) that will apply not only to the ocean freight, but to other transportation related surcharges as well.

According to Maersk’s published information, the new CAF will apply to any and all of the following that may be part of an ocean move:

> Basic Ocean Freight

> Transport (or feeder) Additional

> Congestion

> War Risk

> Dangerous Cargo

> Special Equipment

> Peak Season Charge

> Winter Surcharge

In order to keep pace on behalf of its customers, Freightgate has built into Tariff-Trek! the flexibility to designate to which surcharges adjustment factors such as CAF should apply. This is important because it will affect everything from rating and routing decisions the ability to properly audit incoming freight bills.

Martin Hubert, President and CEO of Freightgate, points to this quick response to a fundamental market shift as further evidence of Freightgate’s customer commitment. “With Maersk’s position as a Steamship market leader, we feel it is only a matter of time before other lines follow suit with their own versions of multi-level surcharges. We want our customers to be fully prepared when that happens,” said Hubert.
