Needham, MA, August 31, 2005 – Peapod stocks up on Scenic Technology’s offerings

Scenic Technology Corporation (“Scenic”), a global provider of supply chain execution systems on a service model, today announced that Peapod, Inc., a division of Ahold, Inc. that delivers groceries to homes in 13 markets across the US, has entered into a long-term support contract for on-going maintenance services for its warehouse management system to ensure reliability, availability and consistent response to its continued growth.  Peapod delivers multi-line items customer orders, equivalent to the typical consumer grocery shopping trip, which originate through telephone and web-based ordering, in various sized totes via a dedicated fleet of truck to homes and businesses.

The warehouse management system is a mission-critical operation and requires 100% availability during operations to ensure that orders are delivered on-time and accurately.  Modern warehouses and distribution centers are complex facilities and require the use of various hardware and software technologies, including Radio Frequency (or wireless) communications, for optimal operation.  These technologies must remain operational under all conditions and at all times.

Scenic offers 24 X 7 X 365 support services to maximize system operational availability for supply chain execution systems.
