RICHMOND, B.C., September 9, 2002

Progressive Solutions Inc., of Richmond BC, is pleased to announce that Yoder Lumber Co., Inc. of Sugarcreek, OH, has ordered its second business software solution, Fiber Track™.

Fiber Track™ software is uniquely designed to help sawmills improve their log yard operations by managing log and fiber procurement, vendor contracts and settlements, inventory, and data collection in one integrated system. Fiber Track features easy-to-use Windows®-based screens, integration with handheld data collection systems, extensive report-writing capabilities, and historical data warehousing. It is compatible with Progressive Solutions’ Lumber Track™, a full featured business software solution for sawmill operations, and with popular accounting and financial management packages.

Yoder Lumber will implement Fiber Track software and handheld data collection devices at its three hardwood log yards. Trent Yoder, Inventory and Office Manager for Yoder Lumber, reports, “Fiber Track will help us keep track of inventory in our log yards as well as manage standing timber, contracts and settlements.”

In January 2000, Yoder Lumber implemented Lumber Track, resulting in improved inventory management, better customer tracking and real-time sales information at their three sawmill locations. Trent Yoder comments, “We have been impressed by Lumber Track’s capabilities, and the high level of service provided by Progressive Solutions. Those factors, combined with the Fiber Track capabilities demonstrated to us, led us to select Fiber Track for our log yard management software.”
