Balloon One Exhibits Warehouse IT Innovation at Autumn Fair

BRENTFORD, England, August 21, 2012/PRNewswire/ --

    Supply chain IT company Balloon One (Twitter: @BalloonOneLtd) will be exhibiting at
this year's Autumn Fair held at Birmingham's NEC 2nd-5th September. The Autumn Fair is
billed as the largest home and gift trade buying event of the season and Balloon One will
be at hand in Hall 5, on stand M76, to discuss how its business software and integration
expertise is helping companies such as luxury soft toy manufacturer Jellycat.

    Balloon One will launch a new Internet-based business and warehouse management
solution, which is ideally suited to mid-market and e-commerce sector suppliers. This is
believed to be a first of its kind integration of the leading cloud computing business
software NetSuite ERP with the powerful Accellos warehouse management system (WMS). This
cost-effective solution is easy to implement and can use existing IT equipment.

    Jellycat, which is also exhibiting (Hall/Stand: 3R04-S03), is benefiting from seamless
integration between its SAP business software and its Accellos warehouse management
system. The wireless system eliminates duplicated data and paper documentation and enables
accurate stock management. The integrated solution gives full visibility of information
across the business and has reduced administration time significantly, enabling Jellycat
to recoup the cost of the system within one year.

    "Accellos has significantly reduced the amount of time spent on back office
administrative duties and has improved efficiency in warehouse operations. We have been
able to re-assign staff from administrative functions to revenue generating functions,
which has significantly reduced the need to bring in agency staff to meet demand at the
warehouse during the busy seasonal peaks. These administrative savings have easily
justified the capital expenditure within the first year," said Danny Olive, Finance
Director, Jellycat.

    Balloon One's Accellos WMS interfaces easily with existing enterprise resource
planning (ERP) systems, order management and other systems - such as SAP Business One and
NetSuite, sharing the same database and eliminating the need for data duplication. The WMS
has been developed for maximum flexibility to meet these different, individual
requirements and is, therefore, very adaptable and scalable.
