companies/Signing contract

Tägerwilen (euro adhoc) - Tägerwilen/Switzerland, December 17, 2007.
SAF AG, which is listed on the Prime Standard of the Frankfurt Stock
Exchange (ISIN CH0024848738), and is one of the worldwide leading
suppliers of automated forecasting and ordering systems for
retailers, has made a successful start in the promising Eastern
European market. The software company, which includes large retail
companies mainly in the USA and Western Europe among its direct
customers, has just concluded a contract with a Polish drug store
chain for the implementation of two automated forecasting and
ordering systems. One system will handle the replenishment of 200
Polish retail stores; the second system will handle the replenishment
of the central warehouse. Using historical sales data, both systems
determine the optimum order quantity for each product fully
automated.

"Our first signed contract in Poland confirms that we are on the
right track with our sales offensive in Eastern Europe," reported Dr.
Andreas von Beringe, SAF CEO. "SAF would like to further grow its
business with this customer which is aggressively expanding its store
network in this region. In addition, SAF expects to sign a contract
with another Polish company this year." Due to increasing wage costs
and the rapid growth of their store networks, more and more retail
companies in Eastern Europe are very interested in software systems
which help them to streamline processes, reduce costs and increase
profits.

Conversion from Manual to Automated Replenishment

By implementing the innovative SAF systems, the Polish company will
be able to converse from manual to automated replenishment. One of
the primary reasons leading to the conclusion of the contract was the
capability of the SAF forecasting systems to precisely forecast
future demand while considering not only the effects of seasonal
influences, holidays and other effects, but also the effects of
several promotions. Starting in January 2008, SAF will begin with the
preparations for the implementation of the SAF SuperStore software
system to handle the store distribution. Once the above software
roll-out has been completed, the installation of SAF SuperWarehouse
to optimize warehouse management is planned.

SAF experts analyzed beforehand the customer´s business processes and
their optimization potential. In this connection, it is very
important for the customer that the data quality in the leading ERP
and inventory management system will be parallel brought up. The
better the quality of the data inputted into the SAF systems, the
better the results they produce. "With this contract signing, SAF has
laid the foundation for the growth of our direct business in the
coming year," emphasized von Beringe. "The proceeds from this
contract will contribute to SAF´s revenues and profits in 2008."
