ProfitCenter Software Inc. (PCS), a wholly owned subsidiary of Systemax Inc. (NYSE: SYX), and a premier provider of web-based, on-demand software for multichannel and direct marketing merchants, has signed a contract for the PCS Profitability Software Suite(TM) with Extreme Halloween, a leading online provider of costumes and costume accessories for all holidays and occasions. PCS will enable Extreme Halloween to integrate their 13 different websites into a more consolidated e-commerce strategy. By centralizing all customer information from multiple websites into one system, PCS permits easy tracking of customer orders and an aggregated product demand for all channels to allow Extreme Halloween to respond more immediately to business situations. "At Extreme Halloween, we are very selective about the costumes and products that we carry. We were just as selective in choosing a company that could address our growing e-commerce needs," stated Harold Maxwell, President of Extreme Halloween. "PCS offered the broad functionality we needed with the website channels completely integrated to the order, fulfillment, and accounting." "PCS is clearly the choice for companies that are growing and want to maximize their e-commerce business with integrating multiple websites to a single back-end processing system," said Matthew Ehrlich, President and CEO of ProfitCenter Software. "Our solution has the order processing, sales force automation, warehousing and ERP functionality typically associated with larger, more complex products, yet is not difficult to use." "We want to automate as many order and customer service processes as possible, and this is especially important because of the planned e-commerce growth we have ahead," said Maxwell. "Our employees are looking forward to improved efficiencies with PCS' functionality, so they can deliver the best products and as much value as possible to our customers." "Not only are we pleased that Extreme Halloween has entrusted their direct marketing business to PCS by choosing our solution, but we're looking forward to a long-term, productive relationship with them," said Ehrlich.
