PARIS – January 08, 2003 – QRS Corporation (Nasdaq: QRSI), a leading provider of e-commerce solutions and services essential to success in the retail industry, is expanding its commercial presence in France by launching QRS Catalogue™ for retailers and their suppliers. QRS Catalogue offers the retail industry's most extensive source of product information in the United States. With its new offering of QRS Catalogue in the UK and now in France, QRS is playing a vital role in the global retail industry.

An electronic catalogue is a product content and data synchronization solution that enhances execution and accuracy across the supply chain. QRS Catalogue is a leading electronic catalogue in North America, providing a unique, centralized source of product information essential to retailer and supplier transactions.

QRS Catalogue enables thousands of manufacturers, suppliers and retailers to synchronize current, accurate product information on more than 90 million items in North America and Europe. Companies in more than 21 vertical markets – including apparel, footwear, consumer packaged goods, food, health and beauty, hardware and appliances, media and other retail segments – use QRS Catalogue as the basis for automating supplier-retailer transactions. QRS Catalogue is also used to support business processes across the supply chain, from merchandising to logistics.

QRS presented its QRS Catalogue solution for the first time in France at the  "EANnet.fr: les catalogues electroniques se mettent en reseau" conference organized by Gencod EAN France and held in October 2002 in Paris.

QRS and Selfridges, a UK-based chain of department stores are implementing QRS Catalogue with Selfridges' global trading community. With this agreement, Selfridges became the first European retailer to deploy QRS Catalogue to synchronize its product data with all of its suppliers.

Supporting more than 450 data attributes such as price, style, color and size, and supporting text and image data formats, QRS Catalogue enables suppliers to provide reliable, verified and secure product information. The application allows suppliers to adapt their product information to meet various retailers' requirements, and to update and correct their content as required. In this way, suppliers can improve the accuracy with which orders are written, the precision with which orders are transacted, and the speed at which invoices and purchase orders are processed.

For retailers, QRS Catalogue offers access to real-time supplier information, which enables productivity gains across the entire supply chain. From item creation, to placement of the purchase order, to getting products on the store floor, retailers can efficiently order the right products and get them to market faster with QRS Catalogue.

To help companies manage the transition to an electronic catalogue, QRS offers complementary services, including the evaluation and definition of deployment strategies, business community partners integration and providing 24-hour, multilingual client support.
