Singletouch Corp inks deal with Chemco for data capture platform

Enterprise-wide deal secured after successful pilot project proves value;
software expected to save millions annually

PHOENIX, AZ, and CALGARY, AB, June 23 /PRNewswire/ - Singletouch Corporation,
developer of a comprehensive data-capture platform for electrical contractors
in industrial construction, has secured a significant new customer with Chemco
Electrical Contractors Ltd. The deal will see Singletouch roll out its
comprehensive data-capture product line across Chemco's entire organization.
Headquartered in Alberta for over 40 years, Chemco is focused exclusively on
the heavy industrial construction sector and is one of the largest companies
of its type in North America, capable of handling projects in excess of $250
million dollars and with a peak work force exceeding 1800 employees.
During the first quarter of 2009, Chemco implemented Singletouch as a pilot
project on one of its major pieces of business, which resulted in significant
cost savings. This success demonstrated the obvious benefits of the
Singletouch solution and convinced Chemco to make the investment in an
enterprise-wide rollout.
"During the pilot project, we were able to reduce the invoice cycle on one of
our biggest accounts from fifteen days to less than one day using
Singletouch," said Todd Halina, corporate procurement manager, Chemco. "While
the actual benefit from implementing the Singletouch solution throughout the
company is yet to be determined, we have already realized an improvement in
efficiency and expect excellent returns on our investment in the Singletouch
software."
Singletouch is a comprehensive data-capture platform for electrical
contractors working in industrial construction that enables real-time input of
information in the field - one time, easily and accurately - thus eliminating
the paperwork headaches that have plagued the industry. Details collected in
the field are instantly accessible at head office and seamlessly integrated
into backend systems, expediting payroll, accounting and project reporting.
"Singletouch will help us achieve such significant savings by reducing
inventory leakage, providing better job cost control and overall process
standardization across our company," said Halina. "We also expect to win more
business by being able to demonstrate greater cost control to prospective
clients."
Singletouch's technology consists of four components - a Windows platform
called Singletouch Office, a web portal called Singletouch Jobsite, a mobile,
handheld data-capture solution known as Singletouch Mobile, and a touchscreen
data-capture solution known as Singletouch Terminal.
Chemco's solution will comprise of the full suite of Singletouch products and
will be rolled out across all Chemco's projects, encompassing more than 1600
electricians in the field. The product is designed to improve Chemco's
business in three key areas:

1. Procurement, where Singletouch will streamline the procurement
process, delivering fast, accurate reporting and real-time inventory
capabilities.
2. Reports, where Singletouch will provide real-time executive, customer
and project management reporting, increasing Chemco's reporting depth,
accuracy, and speed of delivery to customers.
3. Business processes, where Singletouch will standardize Chemco's
corporate business processes across all its sites, as well as
standardizing training and reporting.

"In the past, our IT implementations have been costly but provided little in
return," added Halina. "With Singletouch, I am confident that we have a
company wide solution that will provide full payback in a very short period of
time."
"Securing a major industry player such as Chemco as a customer is a huge
validation of our vision for a workplace where data need only be entered once,
and we believe that the savings it expects to make with Singletouch can be
achieved by any company in the electrical contracting business," said Marty
Hilsenteger, Singletouch CEO. "Chemco is a great example of a company that is
putting the field first when it comes to deploying new technology, a practice
that we believe many companies in this sector would benefit from adopting."
Singletouch expects to complete the rollout of its solution across Chemco's
business by mid-2010.
