Tekelec Streamlines Inventory Management with ClearOrbit's Gemini Mobile Software Solution

Austin, Texas – June 6, 2007 – ClearOrbit (www.clearorbit.com), the leading provider of real-time supply chain execution and reverse logistics solutions, today announced that Tekelec has deployed ClearOrbit's Gemini® Mobile Software solution to automate data collection and streamline the company's inventory management process. Since implementing Gemini, Tekelec, a high-performance network applications company, reports improvements in timeliness, visibility and control of data throughout the company's warehouse and fulfillment center.

Gemini's automated data collection capabilities optimize accuracy and efficiency by enabling users to record transactions such as receiving, inventory movement and transfers, adjustments and returns with handheld radio-frequency (RF) scanners. To add to the level of inventory control, Tekelec is also making use of Gemini's Compliance Label Manager™ (CLM™) to generate barcodes for inventory in its facility, including raw materials and manufactured goods.

"We've improved the visibility of our inventory management process and the accuracy of our perpetual inventory records," said Mark Rossi, director, Manufacturing Operations, Tekelec. "The CLM module has contributed significantly to these improvements."

Rossi adds that Gemini was recommended because it directly integrated with the company's existing enterprise resource planning (ERP) data model, unlike other offerings that required adding a proprietary third-party database. This seamless integration, Rossi explains, has helped Tekelec leverage its existing setups, tolerances and profiles in its Oracle® discrete manufacturing system.

"We work closely with companies such as Tekelec to identify specific supply chain needs and develop tailored solutions that deliver the efficiencies required to optimize their current and future logistical operations," said Warren Sumner, vice president of marketing and strategy for ClearOrbit. "Our unique approach gives customers the tools they need to quickly implement changes that deliver real-time supply chain visibility and directly impact their bottom line."
