VANCOUVER, B.C., Canada, February 14, 2006

Progressive Solutions Inc. today announced that Riley Creek, headquartered in Laclede, Idaho, has purchased bisTrack™ business software for its new distribution-focused division in Denver, Colorado.

Riley Creek is one of the top 50 lumber manufacturers in North America, and the largest in Idaho, producing 600 million board feet of high-quality lumber from its three mills. Its new distribution-based division will provide more products and services to Riley Creek customers.

bisTrack helps Riley Creek expand building products distribution
Erol Deren, Arnie Didier and Ken Koenig, industry veterans with combined 65 years in the industry, are amongst the talent recruited for Riley Creek’s distribution division. They selected bisTrack software as the platform that will enable Riley Creek to move further into the distribution stream of building products, including its own lumber.

bisTrack is business software designed specifically for building materials dealers, contractor yards and distributors. The software automates all buying, selling, logistics and accounting functions. It is unique in its approach to automate repetitive rule-based tasks and to “push” relevant information to users through system- and user-generated Instant Messages. Its Microsoft® technology platform makes bisTrack easy to use and incredibly powerful in its reporting and integration capabilities.

bisTrack is the second business software solution from Progressive Solutions being installed by Riley Creek. Progressive Solutions’ Lumber Track is also being installed for Riley Creek’s manufacturing and direct mill sales.
