Kuala Lumpur, 22 August 2000: This morning marked an eventful and memorable day for business2business (B2B) and business2consumer (B2C) Internet portals. A local Internet portal puts Malaysia on the world map as another significant landmark in the International IT community.

The new service, aptly named, ShipnTrack.com, is based upon e-fulfillment on the Internet and it is the first of its kind in the Asian region. This unique service, provided by SHIPNTRACK.COM SDN BHD, is the first ever Website in Asia to provide this revolutionary yet convenient service and it is set to become the front-runner in the IT industry.

ShipnTrack.com, the latest innovative Internet service portal was officially launched by YB Datuk Tan Chai Ho, The Honourable Deputy Minister of Energy, Communications and Multimedia at a ceremony held this morning. Also present at the launch were Mr David Wong, Chief Executive Officer of SHIPNTRACK.COM SDN BHD as well as other e-tailers, which are in strategic alliance and smart partnership with ShipnTrack.com.

According to Mr David Wong, CEO of SHIPNTRACK.COM SDN BHD, "We are here to provide the first-stop package shipping and tracking solution to online sellers". He also added that he decided to start ShipnTrack.com because he believed that as more and more people are moving towards the direction of purchasing off the Internet, their expectations of products and services have also increased. "As all Internet purchases are in real-time, consumers expect responses from e-tailers to be in real-time as well, with respect to product or service delivery," he said.

"In view of that, we believe that e-fulfillment is definitely bound to play a gigantic and vital role in the e-commerce world", said Wong at the official launch of his latest business endeavor, which is set to take the market by storm.

During the launch of ShipnTrack.com, SHIPNTRACK.COM SDN BHD held a significant signing ceremony with other selected Internet merchants who have decided to come on board, supporting and using the unique features provided by the organization. The partners in this alliance are bagofclubs.com, Brandway Corporation Sdn Bhd, DreamMotor.com, GO2020.COM, Lelong.com.my, MnEportal.com, RGTGOLF.COM, and Surfing Bananas.com.

Also unveiled at the launch was e-Fulfill™, a product that was fully developed by SHIPNTRACK.COM SDN BHD. This e-Fulfill™ Engine enables business2business integration comprising end-to-end processes from Online Buyer through Payment Service Integration and Logistic Service Provision.

Wong, who started this new business enterprise in the modest premise of his apartment, also stated that with the presence of ShipnTrack.com, his company would provide online sellers with specific tools that will assist them to quickly prepare, send and manage order fulfillment. "We will also enable streamlining of e-business market's buying and selling through collaboration with key business2business marketplace players", he added.

As ShipnTrack.com integrates people, processes and technology, it will enable e-commerce businesses to penetrate the market faster while minimizing capital investments. It will also allow them to build brand equity as well as allow product positioning without sacrificing customer satisfaction before, during and after online buying transactions and experiences.

Initially ShipnTrack.com was enrolled under IBM's Electronic Independent Software Vendor (e-ISV) 2000 programme, which is meant for promising start-ups to develop solutions and services. Under this e-incubation programme of IBM, it is building its solutions on IBM Web-Sphere application server software, DB2 Universal Database and VisualAge for Java and runs them on Netfinity and RS/6000 machines.

As ShipnTrack.com acts as the catalyst for online buying and fulfillment, it will benefit online merchants in terms of improved profits and savings as well as sustaining a competitive advantage in the marketplace. Wong strongly believes that in time ShipnTrack.com will become synonymous with online shipping by growing into Asia's leading Internet service center for e-commerce fulfillment.
