| 14 Jan 2008 Agentrics Named to Food Logistics 100 for Third Consecutive Year Ranking Recognizes Agentrics for Excellence in Supply Chain Innovation Alexandria, VA - Jan. 14, 2008 – Agentrics, a leading solution provider to the world’s largest retailers and their trading partners, today announced that for the third consecutive year it has been named to Food Logistics magazine’s 2007 Food Logistics 100 listing of technology providers to the food, beverage and consumer packaged goods industries. Food Logistics is the only publication exclusively dedicated to the movement of food products and information throughout the retail industry. This annual ranking recognizes companies that represent the best technology and service providers that address various logistical challenges and help trading partners optimize supply chain practices. "Agentrics is proud to receive this recognition from Food Logistics, not only for ourselves, but on behalf of the community of retailers and suppliers we serve. Their desire to evolve and improve business processes has resulted in our new and innovative solutions to industry-wide problems," said Christopher Sellers, Agentrics CEO. "Our customers are among the world’s largest and most respected companies. By providing our customers with solutions to work more collaboratively to refine supply chain processes, reduce costs and create a better experience for the consumer, we are developing best practices that can benefit all members of the global retail community." In response to recent concerns over food safety and the industry’s ability to respond to issues, Agentrics recently announced a new partnership with the Food Marketing Institute’s Safe Quality Food Initiative and Muddy Boots Software to provide an online database where food retailers, wholesalers and restaurants can access detailed supplier audit information, monitor the integrity of their products and identify potential problems before they reach the consumer. "Our readers turn to Food Logistics to learn about new solutions for improving productivity and reducing costs throughout their operations,” explained Katherine Doherty, editor-in-chief of Food Logistics magazine. “The corporate executives and on-site managers who rely on the magazine want to know what solutions are available to help them reach their business goals. The Food Logistics 100 is a vital resource for them." Service providers and end-users submitted hundreds of nominations for the 2007 FL 100 and the Food Logistics editorial staff selected companies that help food, beverage and CPG companies gain a competitive logistical advantage. This year’s listing marks the fourth-annual Food Logistics 100. The winners are featured in the November/December 2007 issue of Food Logistics, as well as online at www.foodlogistics.com.
