3LOG Systems implements Purchasing, Inventory Control, Scale Control and Settlements system at Newstech Recycling mills

July 2002

We are pleased to announce the completion of the Purchasing, Inventory Control, Scale Control and Settlements system at Belkorp Industries Inc. Newstech Recycling mills in Canada. Implementation of the system began in January 2002 and was fully operational on July 01 2002.

Newstech Recycling is a manufacturer of de-inked pulp from post-consumer newspapers and magazines. Recovered paper sources are located across Canada and the United States. Each facility produces 165,000 metric tonnes per annum of first quality pulp. This pulp is distributed to newsprint mills and producers of other paper grades in Canada, the United States and the Pacific Rim.

The new system provides Newstech with many benefits:

· Strong Purchasing control with flexible Purchase Order generation and Supplier reporting
· Easy Receiving activity using flexible entry screens allowing easy entry and editing
· Flexible unattended Scale activity for receiving and shipping
· Detailed transaction reporting
· Reliable management reporting
· Integration with Corporate Financials

3LOG and Newstech are working together to automate manual tasks and improve work processes. Internal controls are being reviewed and strengthened. 3LOG is helping Newstech operate more efficiently.
