Tägerwilen (euro adhoc) - Tägerwilen, January 22, 2009 SAF AG, which
is listed in the Prime Standard of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange (ISIN
CH0024848738), will present its software solutions for automated
retail replenishment planning from February 10-12, 2009 at the
EuroCIS trade fair in Düsseldorf (Booth C36, Hall 14). SAF will
demonstrate the new functions of Major Release 5.0.0 for its SAF
SuperStore and SAF SuperWarehouse products.

The expanded functions model, among others, the influence of
promotions on the sales of other items (cannibalization effect) and
price developments at suppliers (investment buying). The Swiss
company combines automated replenishment and forecasting technology
with user-friendly graphical user interfaces in its SAF RetailSuite
Store and SAF RetailSuite Warehouse core products. Thanks to precise
sales forecasts, the right products are available at all times in the
right quantities at the right places in the stores and warehouses.
That way, retailers can increase product availability while
simultaneously reducing inventory levels.

"The automated replenishment process supported by our software
improves product availability and optimizes inventory levels,"
explains Dr. Andreas von Beringe, CEO at SAF AG. "That reduces
warehousing costs on the one hand, while increasing sales on the
other hand, because customers no longer stand in front of empty
shelves. Retailers not only maximize their profits but also gain a
competitive advantage and satisfied customers." SAF solutions are
used by many companies including dm-drogerie markt, Metro, Deutsche
Woolworth, Rossmann in Poland and the Polish natura Drogeria drug
store chain.

EuroCIS Presentation - February 12, 12:00 noon - "Case Study -
Success Factors in Implementing Automated Replenishment and
Forecasting Software"

Andrzej Uryga, Commercial Project Director of natura Drogeria, and
Jürgen Conrads, SAF Vice President Sales, will report at the EuroCIS
about the challenges and success factors in converting from manual to
automated replenishment.
