Press Release Body = According to Rebecca Gill, vice-president with TGI, "Technology
Group International is proud to be support the winning team at West Coast Novelty.
While others in their industry have come and gone, over the last two decades WCN
sales have grown at an astonishing annual rate of 27%. In fact, in just four months
after completing their implementation of Enterprise 21, WCN had record sales by
shipping over 40% more shipments than the same month the prior year."

The WCN warehouses are where it all comes together. These facilities are considered
the stars of the WCN team. Their innovative distribution facilities use Enterprise
21's state-of-the-art software to fulfill all aspects of customer service, inventory
control, and accounting functions. Operators can instantly see the entire inventory
and order flow with a few keystrokes, ensuring quick and efficient order processing.
Distribution staff use the latest in hand-held computer scanners to process orders
and to relay real-time stock information back into the system's database. WCN's
in-house tracking software monitors each order throughout the WCN facility until it
arrives at the retailer\'s door.

lifestyle products in the world. WCN is officially recognized by the NFL, MLB,

service licensed goods distributor and strategic marketing partner with key
retailers and manufacturers. WCN has distribution centers in the San Francisco Bay
area and just outside Memphis, Tennessee.
