RICHMOND, CA – August 04, 2004 – QRS Corporation (Nasdaq: QRSI) today announced that Boscov's, the country's largest privately held, family-owned chain of department stores, will participate in the beta program for QRS Reveal™, QRS' new solution for transaction lifecycle visibility. Participation in the beta program lets retailers and suppliers test and provide feedback on the hosted application, which is designed to proactively monitor business transactions in order to reduce errors that cause breakdowns in the supply chain.

Boscov's has been a QRS customer for more than five years, using QRS Catalogue™for data synchronization and QRS Exchange™ for transaction outsourcing. QRS Reveal leverages Boscov's existing EDI investment by working with QRS Exchange to provide information and intelligence about EDI transactions. Through its proactive alerts, notifications and comprehensive document tracking capabilities, QRS Reveal can help Boscov's increase the efficiency and accuracy of trading partner communications.

"When we chose to renew our contract for QRS Catalogue and QRS Exchange earlier this year, Boscov's was also investing in QRS' vision for transaction lifecycle visibility," said Harry Roberts, Senior Vice President and Chief Information Officer for Boscov's. "QRS is a long-standing partner that has helped Boscov's communicate with trading partners and maintain a high standard of data quality. QRS Reveal can help Boscov's address specific challenges that we face with suppliers, such as missing and late shipments that can cause out-of-stocks in our stores."

Boscov's will join other companies, including Federated Department Stores, in the beta program, which QRS announced in July. The beta program is scheduled to begin in the third quarter of 2004 and the company expects the product to be generally available later in the year.

"We are pleased with the interest our customers have shown in QRS Reveal," said Liz Fetter, QRS President and Chief Executive Officer. "The feedback we will gather during the beta program will help us deliver a high-quality product to the market later this year."
