Business Wire, July 31, 2007

ATLANTA -- Chainalytics LLC, the leading provider of advanced analytical supply chain services, announced today that it has been named one of the "10 Coolest Supply Chain Boutiques" by ARC Advisory Group, a global market research and consulting firm recognized world-wide by their expertise in Manufacturing and Supply Chain Management.

ARC Advisory compiled the list of 10 companies after reviewing over 1,000 Supply Chain Management (SCM) consulting firms. Consultants that lacked manufacturers in their client base were excluded from the research.

"In the Strategic Design niche, I like them best for the experience of their consultants, their knowledge of the tools, and proprietary content they have gathered over the years," stated Steve Banker, Director of Supply Chain Management at ARC Advisory Group, who conducted the research and compiled the list of the 10 consulting firms. "Despite having consultants that are highly analytic and quantitatively oriented, they are a friendly and down to earth company."

"We are excited to be recognized to this list through ARC Advisory Group's extensive research," said Mike Kilgore, President and CEO, Chainalytics. "We appreciate that our continued success has been recognized by not only industry thought leaders like ARC, but also our global clients."
