Edict Systems' Scan-Based Trading and Web-Based EDI Solutions
Streamline Retail Newspaper Sales
Many of the Nation's Leading Newspapers Choose Edict Systems' Technology to
Improve Efficiency, Reduce Costs 


DAYTON, Ohio, July 20  /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Edict Systems has announced
that the leading newspapers using their Scan-Based Trading and Electronic Data
Interchange (EDI) solutions now include USA Today, Columbus Dispatch, Detroit
Newspapers, Roanoke Times, Fresno Bee, Arizona Republic, Louisville Courier
Journal, the Denver Newspaper Agency, the Charleston Newspapers and the
Savannah Morning News.  These publishers use Edict's services to track their
newspaper sales at top retailers and grocery supermarkets across America.

Edict Systems, the wholly-owned and sole operating subsidiary of Advant-e
Corporation (OTC:AVEE) (BULLETIN BOARD: AVEE) , is a leader in internet-based
EDI which streamlines supply chain management and reduces the cost of doing
business for retailers and their suppliers. The selection of Edict by these
outstanding newspapers is an exceptional achievement in the emerging and
rapidly growing market of scan-based trading, according to Mike Bevis,
President of Edict Systems.  He adds: "This wide recognition of Edict's
innovative services allows our growing company to showcase our expanding suite
of solutions and increase our strong customer base."

Edict's solution delivers point of sale data immediately to suppliers thus
improving billing accuracy and payment reconciliation.  The technology also
boosts efficiency by eliminating the need to have stock checked-in when
delivered to the store. Since store check-out sales are recorded and analyzed
daily, next day's deliveries can be adjusted to better meet the store's actual
needs.  Alliances such as these, meeting the unique requirements of both
suppliers and retailers, offer Edict Systems new avenues for growth and
expansion.  Edict's Web EDI solutions increase productivity as well as save
time and money for suppliers, manufacturers and retailers.

About Scan-Based Trading:

Scan-based Trading (SBT) is rapidly becoming a leading-edge solution to the
critical supply chain needs of the retail and grocery industries. With SBT,
suppliers retain ownership of their products until the product is scanned at
the register. Retailers provide their suppliers with daily scan data that
enables them to better plan their deliveries. This initiative almost
instantaneously reduces the cost of doing business with suppliers who deliver
directly to the store.  Studies involving retailers using SBT indicate
significant reductions in invoice deductions, increases in sales for both
retailers and suppliers, improved shrink control, and measurable time savings
for both store staff and suppliers' delivery personnel by eliminating check-
ins.
