MIAMI – Jan. 29, 2007 – New Generation Computing® (NGC) today announced that Trade Masters LLC has selected NGC’s RedHorse ERP software to help the company manage its rapidly growing furniture import business. NGC, a wholly owned subsidiary of American Software Inc. (NASDAQ: AMSWA), is a market leader in product lifecycle management (PLM), global sourcing and ERP software for the fashion, apparel, footwear and furniture industries.

RedHorse will provide Trade Masters with a comprehensive business management solution that includes order management, import/production, accounting, inventory management and exception reporting. As a current NGC customer, Trade Masters successfully adapted an earlier NGC solution to run its case goods importing business. However, with a growth rate of 40 to 50 percent annually, Trade Masters’ business has greatly increased in complexity, with tighter deadlines, more SKUs and a need for closer communication with overseas suppliers.

Trade Masters required a more robust ERP solution with flexible reporting and querying functions, real-time communications, expanded fields to handle more complex product information, and dashboards for tracking key business goals. In addition, Trade Masters wanted to launch a new “quick ship” program to enable two-week shipment of containers. Trade Masters quickly realized that RedHorse could meet its needs and help the company transform its business.

“Trade Masters has enjoyed a strong working relationship with NGC, and they have a very solid understanding of our business needs,” said Greg Gapp, CFO, Trade Masters LLC. “We’re excited about the capabilities of RedHorse, and its ability to help enable our quick-ship program. With this program, we’ll be able to ship products from China at a carton level within two weeks, and mix multiple groups on one container – something that separates Trade Masters from our competition.”

RedHorse will also support Trade Masters as the company expands beyond wood bedroom furniture into other categories, including stationary upholstery, casual wooden dining, mixed media dining, and mattresses. RedHorse will enable Trade Masters to implement new programs and more effectively track the increased number of SKUs.

“RedHorse will be an essential solution for helping Trade Masters launch critical new business initiatives, and it has the agility and flexibility to support the company’s explosive growth,” said Alan Brooks, president, NGC. “NGC is pleased to continue our long-term working relationship with Trade Masters, and we look forward to another successful implementation.”
