L`Occitane Teams with Poly-Asia e-Technology and Pervasive Software to Improve Global Supply Chain

Pervasive Data Integrator Automates ERP, POS, Warehouse, HQ and Customer
Reporting Systems, Reduces Operational Costs
AUSTIN, Texas--(Business Wire)--
Pervasive Software® Inc. (NASDAQ: PVSW), a global value leader in embeddable
data management and data integration software, today announced L`Occitane, a
leading international manufacturer of all-natural beauty products, has
successfully implemented Pervasive Data Integrator to enable a seamless,
automated and standardized global supply chain between its headquarters in
southern France, and various Asian subsidiaries and trading partners. The
successful system integration by Poly-Asia e-Technology, a Pervasive Market
Development Partner in Hong Kong and China, provides L`Occitane with a reliable,
easy to maintain, highly scalable supply chain system able to support its
growing customer base.

With a growing retail presence in Japan, Hong Kong, Korea, Australia and other
countries along the Pacific Rim, L`Occitane identified a key opportunity to
modernize its supply chain system when it implemented Microsoft Dynamics NAV
ERP. L`Occitane wanted to integrate its point-of-sales (POS) systems,
headquarters reporting systems, warehouses, trading partners and customers while
accommodating communication across the various geographies. Employees were
spending time on redundant processes, such as manual data entry, rather than
focusing on monitoring inventory and stock levels. To further complicate the
situation, most of the Asian systems were strictly manual. L`Occitane turned to
its Microsoft Dynamics NAV implementer, Poly-Asia e-Technology, to implement a
full supply chain system, not just a standalone ERP.

"With the incorporation of Pervasive Data Integrator, Poly-Asia provided us with
a much needed global approach to our supply chain concerns," said Fletcher Ng,
regional IT manager for L`Occitane Hong Kong, Japan, China, Singapore, Taiwan,
Macau. "In addition to greater data integrity and efficiency, we have seen a
significant increase in employee productivity. Our employees can now focus on
more important business tasks than manually editing data from various offices
and partners."

Data flow across the L`Occitane system now includes important master data on
products, prices and discounts; trading transactions including purchase orders,
daily statements and invoices from the field as well as daily sales; and
inventory movement. Each system is different with different file format
structures and Pervasive Data Integrator is used to do repurposable mapping
written with business logic. Pervasive Data Integrator converts external file
formats into ERP-recognized formats and then integrates disparate source data
with the multiple applications. L`Occitane implemented Pervasive Data Integrator
as a way to remove many of the manual processes. With automated supply chain
reporting across regions, L`Occitane has reduced operational costs and improved
sales and marketing efficiencies in key growth markets.

"Pervasive Data Integrator helps to centralize system integration across
different formats, which enables easier maintenance for L`Occitane`s IT
department," states Ken Lee, Senior System Consultant for Poly-Asia
e-Technology. "It also supports the system running in schedule mode, to save
efforts that formerly went to manual processes."

"Pervasive Data Integrator is the product of choice to enable a rapidly growing
number of partners across the globe to help their customers better compete in
diverse markets," said Mike Hoskins, CTO and general manager of Integration
Products at Pervasive. "Pervasive Data Integrator is unique because of its
robustness, 150+ data and application connectors and low TCO. Pervasive is proud
to work with a respected partner like Poly-Asia e-Technology. Their ETL, EAI and
ERP systems expertise, including Microsoft Dynamics, ensures that companies like
L`Occitane will have access to superior integration implementation and
services."
