Raleigh, North Carolina, March 18, 2005- Intervolve, Inc., a pioneering developer of on demand software for the consumer products industry today announced the release of DistributionSuite 5.42

This new release enhances several important modules and includes:
· Advanced Analytics - Improve effectiveness of your sales efforts by arming your team with advanced trend analysis. The simple format helps highlight opportunities at retail sites such as how they are doing in comparison to their entire market segment.

· Consumer Visibility - Improve your ability to see why people buy with our enhanced reporting for non-transactional information such as point of sale items, facings, taps, displays, etc.

· Competitive Intelligence - Now you have an ability to see not only what your direct competition is doing at your retail outlets but also what alternative products are doing. For example if you are a soft drink vendor and you are doing well against your other soft drink vendors you will also be able to see how you are doing against the bottled water vendors.

“This new release further highlights our strength in cause and effect analysis for sales,” said Chris Newton, Chairman & CEO of Intervolve, Inc. “Wholesalers can now find out in almost real time when they gained new taps or facings and better yet, now predict how those changes will affect future sales. This gives wholesalers the ability to have their sales force focused on what causes the sale instead of solely taking order.”
