SYX Systemax Inc

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 Virginia Diner, a foremost provider of gourmet foods and treats for consumers, corporate and fundraising organizations. The PCS solution is designed to meet the information technology needs of multi-channel marketing companies ranging from small and midsize businesses to large enterprises. Direct Marketing companies gain efficiencies and peace of mind with PCS because they never have to worry about investing in additional hardware or services to maintain their system. PCS provides the necessary servers and manages the system, including backups, version control, and upgrades. Companies retain total control over their customer management, e-commerce, order processing and fulfillment functions, including purchasing, receiving, warehousing and accounting. "One of the many aspects we considered when we selected PCS, in addition to the strong functionality offered, was the cost," stated Chris Epperson, President of Virginia Diner. "Virginia Diner can focus resources on growing our business and on our customers' needs instead of spending valuable time battling the day's latest IT issue. PCS will take care of our hardware and software maintenance at a reasonable per-employee-per-month cost." "PCS is leveraging proven expertise in working with many customers in the multi-channel direct marketing industry," said Matthew Ehrlich, President and CEO of ProfitCenter Software. "Addressing the unique and common requirements of each of our clients, PCS is the first complete SaaS (Software as a Service) solution to help these direct marketing companies cost-effectively automate and streamline their business processes, and ultimately stay focused on their core business goals." "With PCS, we will regain control of our own information without diverting attention from our business objectives," said Epperson. "By leveraging PCS, Virginia Diner will have a means to more profitably deliver products to our customers without numerous IT resources. This means my staff doesn't have to continually monitor servers, software updates and other system functions." "Limited IT resources have forced many direct marketing companies to rely on disconnected legacy systems, complicated spreadsheets, and other workarounds, to manage their growing businesses. They do not have the staffing resources to continue to do this and effectively focus on their sales and marketing," said Ehrlich. "PCS and its technology are designed to address these shortcomings, providing e-commerce, CRM (customer relationship management), order processing, fulfillment and accounting in one fully integrated solution. Virginia Diner chose PCS as a partner to help empty their plate of draining IT tasks and we are happy to assist them."
