SYNCHRONICS ANNOUNCES COUNTERPOINT VERSION 7

CounterPoint Offers Integrated Approach to Business Software

Memphis, TN, June, 1995--Synchronics announces CounterPoint V7, its next
generation software release. CounterPoint V7 represents a new concept in
automated business technology--an integrated (non-modular) software
solution carrying forward the features from the SYNCHRONICS V6.5 product
line, which has been in the field for 91/2 years. CounterPoint V7 includes
many new features and enhancements and delivers them in a tightly
integrated format that is easier to install, use, and support.

The CounterPoint V7 Base System configuration provides point-of-sale,
inventory management, customer tracking, purchasing, labeling, apparel
(color/size grids), sales history, timecards, credit card authorization,
e-mail, and the requisite file utilities and system functions. Additional
Options include serial/lot tracking, receivables, order processing, open
to buy, kit processing, and more. A typical user starts with the Base
System and then enables Options as they are required.

According to Jeff Goldstein, Synchronics president, "One of CounterPoint's
objectives is to simplify the process of installing and configuring the
software, while also streamlining the maintenance, shipping, and support
of the software. We accomplish this objective by having a single version
of CounterPoint with supplemental Option feature sets. Each Option adds
specific capabilities to the existing base system."

New CounterPoint features include:

* User defined graphing, viewing, and reporting of monthly historical
  data for customers, inventory items, etc. for an unlimited number of
  years
* Return-to-vendors (RTV's)
* Integrated e-mail
* "Oversize" prices (for "extra large", etc.)
* "Two-fer" pricing (e.g., "$.55 each or two for $1.00)
* Multi-currency exchange rates
* Eighteen paycodes (previously 8)
* Six pricing levels (previously 3)
* Coupons and Food Stamps
* SPIFF's (PM's)
* More...

CounterPoint V7 is compatible with accounting software from RealWorld
Corporation, Great plains Software, and Macola, Inc. The accounting
interface transfers data automatically between CounterPoint and the
accounting system to:

* Map account numbers and transfer distributions to General Ledger
* Import and update vendors in Accounts Payable
* Voucher received P.O.'s and RTV's into Accounts Payable
* Transfer deposit activity into checkbook
* Output a text file for Payroll import

CounterPoint will be shipped on CD-ROM. The product will be available for
delivery on 3.5" diskettes; however, surcharges will apply.

CounterPoint is slated for release in September, 1995.

The list price for CounterPoint starts at $1,500 for a single-user,
standalone DOS workstation and increases in price from there depending on
the number of users and locations. CounterPoint is appropriate for use in
a single-user system, but can be configured to meet the needs of
sophisticated, multi-user, multi-location businesses.

installed in more than 20,000 retail businesses worldwide.
