<DIV>OAKLAND, California – June 2, 2010 – International Asset Systems (IAS), the
global leader in services and technology for asset management within the
transport industry, has announced that DispatchManager, its widely deployed
drayage management service, is now fully integration-enabled to support the
intermodal trucking community. By adding trucking company-facing EDI
capabilities to its transport work order processing functionality,
DispatchManager increases dispatch efficiency, improves invoice accuracy and
accelerates drayage payments for its trucking customers.<BR><BR>Since its launch
in 2008, IAS DispatchManager has become the leading web portal for trucking
companies to accept, reject, amend and invoice work orders from originators of
intermodal drayage. DispatchManager enables intermodal companies to manage the
entire dispatch process online including automatic electronic documentation,
work order generation and assessorial resolution. Trucking companies are also
able to submit invoices electronically, reducing errors and eliminating
paperwork. <BR><BR>DispatchManager’s new capabilities automate
and integrate drayage workflow to trucking companies with in-house systems.
DispatchManager integration eliminates re-keying of work order data into
multiple systems, and enables trucking companies to leverage IAS’ existing
connections to all of their customers in order to process, update and invoice
drayage moves. IAS rapidly establishes connectivity using proven integration
experts that specialize in establishing Electronic Data Interchange (EDI)
connections, and supports DispatchManager 24/7 to the most stringent service
levels in the industry.<BR><BR>“Whether trucking companies use the web
portal—DispatchManager DRAY®—or utilize the new integration
capabilities—DispatchManager ENVOY®—they transform the phone- and fax-disparate
system-dominated world of work order dispatching into an automated process”,
noted Brian Shultz, IAS vice president of sales, “allowing for vast improvements
in operating efficiency and cash flow”.<BR><BR>Trucking companies can begin with
DispatchManager DRAY, which offers free use of the web site for low volumes. As
volumes grow, or based on EDI capabilities, trucking companies can integrate
seamlessly with DispatchManager ENVOY. IAS provides standardized EDI message
sets and a thorough testing process. DispatchManager ENVOY is available for a
modest monthly fee with no volume limitations. The IAS Client Services team
guides trucking companies through the set-up process—including training, file
testing and 24/7 support—so that they can be quickly be benefiting from
DispatchManager.<BR> <BR>About IAS<BR><BR>International Asset Systems (IAS)

participants in the intermodal transport chain. The company’s suite of services
links participants and their customers through a single connection, including
