May, 2008, RED BANK, NJ--LOG-NET, Inc., an industry leader in international web-based supply chain execution solutions,
is proud to announce Sinotrans and National Retail Systems, Inc. as their newest LOG-NET application users. Sinotrans, China's
largest logistics company, and National Retail Systems, Inc., a leading provider of logistics services to U.S. retailers, have
launched a joint venture, called SinoNRS, to provide fully integrated factory-to-store logistics solutions to U.S. retailers.
SinoNRS offers retailers a comprehensive suite of transportation, consolidation, factory interfaces, warehousing, distribution,

domestic logistics position of Sinotrans in China and the U.S. domestic retail distribution capabilities of NRS to create a

States.
LOG-NET will provide SinoNRS with an end-to-end visibility platform to monitor shipments from the origin operation through to
final domestic delivery. LOG-NET will receive container status events from SinoNRS transportation partners throughout the supply
chain for event management through to destination delivery. LOG-NET will also facilitate the creation of documents at origin,
including the forwarders cargo receipt, container manifest and shipment instructions. LOG-NET will also automate logistics
processes, including the receiving of electronic purchase orders and sales orders from SinoNRS customers and integrating this
information with their suppliers.
“After an intensive evaluation, we are very pleased SinoNRS has selected LOG-NET, Inc. as their system of choice. We truly believe
our application will help SinoNRS and especially their customers to effectively manage their products in a very challenging supply
chain environment. We are very excited about working with the SinoNRS team, and we look forward to a very successful
partnership,” says John Painter, V.P. of Worldwide Sales.
“Combining LOG-NET’s best-in-class supply chain visibility platform with the market strength of Sinotrans and NRS, SinoNRS
