| NYK Logistics delivers fully integrated logistics solutions and is recognized as one of the leading logistics providers in the ocean container transportation industry. NYK Logistics' intermodal marketing arm has been using InterBox to source empty domestic containers since April, 1999.
"Sourcing available containers used to be a cumbersome, manual process, but with InterBox we have the ability to easily access a wide range of empty available containers from multiple steamship lines, all in one place. And booking online helps us be much more efficient; there's no doubt in my mind we have achieved significant savings as a result." - Terry McClelland, Assistant Vice President - Intermodal |

| Triton Container is a full-service global leasing company that operates one of the largest marine intermodal cargo container fleet in the world. One of the initials adopters of IAS technology, Triton uses the IAS Hub and EquipmentRepair to automate
container information exchange with its network of terminals and depots around the world..
"We are very satisfied with IAS. The IAS Hub's validation and formatting capability catches data errors before they hit our system sending them back to the vendor via an Activity Report (TAR) to correct. This significantly reduces the error rate as well as the time our staff used to spend in the very difficult process of finding and fixing errors in our systems. It saves a great deal of time and money on manul error correction - both for us and for the depots we work with." - Brian Damowski, VP of Global Operations |

2006, using it to exchange maintenance and repair information with about 140 M&R depots around the world. It also uses InterChange to reposition global empty containers. "If we hadn't had EquipmentRepair in place, I expect we would have had severe difficulties, We are reaping the benefits of its producivity. The difference between what we had before and what we have now is the difference between chalk and cheese." - Jim Millar, Assistant Vice President, Container Management |

| Cornerstone Systems has been awarded Intermodal Carrier of the Year from Goodyear Tire and Rubber, and recently received the same award twice from Mattel in 2005 and 2006. Cornerstone uses InterBox to reposition empty containers within the U.S. "InterBox is an invaluable tool to our business, helping us in two ways. It makes our intermodal operations department personnel more efficient by saving them time and the burden of using phones and faxes to source available containers; and it opens up to them a greater number of opportunities by showing them immediately the available equipment at a large number of intermodal ramps, which is not easily accessible. Our operations people love it." - Ron MacDonald, Senior VP Marketing |
