    PORT WASHINGTON, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 31, 2005--ProfitCenter Software Inc. (PCS), a wholly owned subsidiary of Systemax Inc. (NYSE: SYX), and a provider of web-based business automation software, announced today that 1 Stop Camera & Electronics LTD. has entered into a hosting agreement with PCS for the deployment of its web based Profitability Software Suite(TM), an integrated multi-channels sales and fulfillment solution.
    "1 Stop Camera & Electronics is a progressive company, and we needed a cutting-edge solution that could expand with us as we added new product lines, sales channels and suppliers," said Albert Fouerti, CEO of 1 Stop Camera & Electronics LTD. "PCS offers us integration on one database and one solution across multiple sales presentations. Our customers, our employees and our partners will get timely and accurate information on products, inventory and services real time."
    "Regardless of whether a product or service is sold in a retail, catalogue or on-line environment, PCS is extremely strong at consolidating customer and product data quickly and efficiently," said Matthew Ehrlich, President and CEO of ProfitCenter Software. "As companies such as 1 Stop Camera look to grow their businesses beyond traditional sales methods, customers need immediate information on the products, prices and their availability. If the consumer does not get the information they need, they move on to a competitor that can provide them with what they want. PCS will give 1 Stop Camera the tools to accomplish enhanced customer sales and service to maintain the customer's attention and loyalty."
