ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 22, 2003

PDG Software, Inc., a leader in Internet commerce for companies of all sizes, announced today that it has been licensed by UPS(R) as a UPS OnLine Tools Product Provider for PDG Shopping Cart 2002- PDG's popular e-commerce and shopping cart software solution.

Direct integration with UPS OnLine Tools XML is the latest example in PDG Software's continuous efforts to add value to its already feature rich e-commerce and shopping cart software products. Now e-commerce site owners using PDG Shopping Cart 2002 together with the UPS OnLine Tools can provide their customers with UPS features such as real time rates, the option to compare rates for all UPS shipping services, and the ability to track packages directly from the merchant's website.

With real-time rates, both customers and merchants are ensured that the customer is charged an accurate amount for shipping - helping merchants alleviate discrepancies between actual shipping charges and the amount charged to the customer. The ability for a customer to view all available UPS services and choose their desired option allows users to choose the most cost-effective service based on their required delivery date. Enhanced package tracking is another significant benefit for PDG Shopping Cart 2002 users - allowing customers to track their shipments directly from the merchant site by using a reference number or the order number provided by PDG Shopping Cart 2002.

"PDG Software is excited about the integration of UPS OnLine(R) Tools XML service," said Doug Blackburn, Director of Sales at PDG Software, Inc. "The added functionality that PDG Shopping Cart 2002 merchants can expect from PDG's integration of UPS OnLine Tools XML is significant. PDG Shopping Cart 2002 continues to evolve into a solution that not only helps merchants increase web sales, but also helps merchants lower costs by providing tools that allow merchants to automate many day to day processes."

PDG Shopping Cart 2002 includes HTML templates that allow customers to interface their web site directly with the software, while also allowing for a look-and-feel consistent with their own web site. PDG Shopping Cart 2002 also features an easy-to-use web-based graphical administrator, which may be updated from any computer with Internet access. PDG Shopping Cart 2002 operates on multiple server platforms including Microsoft Windows 2000/NT, and multiple versions of UNIX. PDG Shopping Cart 2002 can easily be integrated using any HTML editing software. Microsoft FrontPage and Macromedia Dreamweaver users may download free plug-ins from PDG's website to assist with the integration of PDG Shopping Cart 2002.
