Leading Pump Manufacturers Continue to Streamline
 Business Processes with PUMP-FLO Enterprise Software


September 2, 2003 Lacey, WA - PUMP-FLO Solutions (An Engineered Software Business), the low-cost provider of software solutions to the fluid handling industry, today announced it is demonstrating strong momentum in the pump selection and sales/configuration software marketplace with 12 major customer wins in the third quarter 2003.

"During our second quarter, we saw a significant increase in new global customer contracts," said Ray Hardee, CEO of PUMP-FLO Solutions (An Engineered Software Business). "These leading organizations clearly recognize the value of PUMP-FLO Solutions in driving cost- and time-savings by automating the pump selection process.”

Among its new clients in the industrial pump marketplace are Sulzer Pumps, Goulds Pumps, Barnes Pumps, Deming Pumps, Weinman Pumps, Gusher Pumps, Patterson Pump, Price Pump, Discflo Corp., Sims Pump, National Pump, and A.R. Wilfley. These companies join dozens of existing pump manufacturers currently using the Windows and Web-based PUMP-FLO software platform to streamline the selection and pricing/configuration of industrial pumps.

Below are just a few of the comments from manufacturers whom recently deployed the PUMP-FLO Enterprise software platform corporate-wide:

“At Sulzer, we decided to retain PUMP-FLO Solution’s ePUMP-FLO software as a means to improve efficiencies,” said Marie Thaler, North American Marketing Manager, Sulzer Pumps. “Our sales and operations people today do a great job of responding to our customers’ needs, but we wanted to give them a system that was more flexible and allowed them to easily select and configure pumps. After a thorough review of the vendor landscape, PUMP-FLO was the clear choice based on functionality, ease of use, and overall price. The ePUMP-FLO system also significantly accelerated our time to market.”

"By deploying the PUMP-FLO software corporate-wide, we can now provide our customers, reps, and distributors with an enormous time saving tool when sizing and selecting pumps,” said Les Smith, Vice President of Marketing, Gusher Pumps. “We chose PUMP-FLO Solutions because of their superior technology, competitive pricing structure, and rapid implementation.”

Because industrial pump manufacturers are continually challenged to maximize productivity and control costs – they can benefit from PUMP-FLO Solutions advanced software platforms such as: PUMP-FLO Enterprise Windows-based and ePUMP-FLO web-based selection and pricing/configuration software.

PUMP-FLO software is currently used by over 75 pump manufacturers and 65,000 customers in various industries.
