INNOVATIVE LOGIC RELEASES NAPA VALIDATOR TO STREAMLINE CATALOG DATABASE UPDATING PROCESS

OTTAWA, CANADA, MARCH 03, 2003 - Innovative Logic, the leader in intelligent cataloging, today announced the immediate release of the NAPA Validator, developed in co-operation with NAPA, to streamline the catalog database updating process and communication between aftermarket part manufacturers and NAPA.

The NAPA Validator has been used internally by the NAPA Catalog Department for several months. It has helped them review files faster and more efficiently. The release of the Validator to catalog and marketing managers of aftermarket part manufactures will significantly reduce the time to get parts listed in the NAPA databases.

"When we load data for our customers we find a variety of common issues that can slow down the process of commercial cataloging using databases such as NAPA," says Chris Babcock Director of Research and Development of Innovative Logic.
"The NAPA Validator is designed to cover many of these issues for a large variety of aftermarket data including brakes, exhaust, filters shocks and struts and many more. Considering its low cost it could start saving aftermarket companies money from the first time they use it," says Babcock.

The NAPA Validator can be used independently from other Innovative Logic products or as part of the iCat Aftermarket Enterprise Suite. A free trial version of the NAPA Validator is available on the Innovative Logic website at www.innovativelogic.com/napavalidator.
