Press Release Summary: Dubai May 25- 2007, SNS a leading supply chain services
provider announced today that Danzas part of DHL Group, the largest 3PL in the
Middle East region has gone live with the Infor WMS provided by SPAN Group.



Press Release Body: The go-live was at DHL DANZAS' main distribution center, also
known as DLC (Danzas Logistic Center) located in the JAFZA area in Dubai. The DC
extends over 15,000 square meters with 18 docks located on 3 sides of the warehouse.
The racking system is mainly a Very Narrow Aisle (VNA), with one pallet position per
location, in the main chamber, and standard selective in the other three chambers of
the warehouse. This DC provides 3PL services for different storers and SKUs include
electronic goods as well as FMCG.

The Infor WMS implemented by SNS allows DHL Danzas to have full visibility of their
stock at the lowest level. With the RF functionality, the new system allows
real-time update of the database and streamlines the warehouse operations from
receiving to picking and shipping. The project also included a 7 touch points'
integration with their ERP system.

This project was one of the most demanding and challenging in terms of WMS
environment readiness, training and management : the WMS went live in less than 3
months, and the warehouse operation was only stopped for 1/2 day for the transition
to the new WMS.

"As the largest 3PL in the Middle East region, DHL Danzas needed to deal with the
best provider in IT solutions for supply chain," said Mr. Biju Nair, DHL Danzas IT
Manager. "SNS' expertise allowed us to go live in record time and with the least
impact on our operation. We have started witnessing improvements in visibility and
operation flow from the first few days."

"SNS has proven once more its ability to provide high quality services under limited
time constraints," said Christian Zakarian, SNS Project Manager. "This was achieved
thanks to the efforts and dedication of all the members of the SNS team on the
project, and we are pleased to add DHL Danzas to our growing list of satisfied
customers."
