EDISON, N.J., July 10 /PRNewswire/ -- Marlabs, Inc. today announced that they
have been awarded a multimillion dollar contract by Gate Gourmet, a leading
provider of catering and provisioning services for airlines and railroads, to
build a unique web-based software system for aircraft Galley Planning (GP4). 

As a strategic partner to Gate Gourmet, Marlabs is currently executing
multiple technology services contracts.  These engagements include the
development of InFlight Exchange (IFX) - an integrated technology platform for
airline suppliers and airlines to collaborate with each other to deliver
multiple services. GP4 is a major component of the IFX suite. Gate Gourmet
customers, who are major airlines, will leverage IFX to optimize and improve
their in-flight supply chain.

The GP4 software will enable airlines to optimize galley design, loading, and
balancing with automatic monitoring of weight loaded and available space.
Functionality includes creation of tailored galley manuals with customized
aircraft, galley, and tray layouts. Using a drag-and-drop user interface, the
software will make it possible to design, load, and publish galley loading
instructions and check and balance weights in accordance with government
regulations. Optimizing design of the galley area, the software will ensure a
streamlined and efficient galley layout that lowers costs while enhancing
passenger experience. 

"Our relationship with Marlabs has become a cornerstone of our technology road
map. We are enthused about the commitment, capability, and flexibility of the
Marlabs team," said Srikumar Bala, Director of Global Business Applications
and Development at Gate Gourmet.  

 "It is an honor to have been selected by Gate Gourmet to build the GP4
solution. Marlabs has been working with Gate Gourmet on a number of
significant technology initiatives that are helping them maximize customer
value," said Siby Vadakekkara, CEO, Marlabs. "By selecting Marlabs to deliver
this prestigious project, Gate Gourmet has signaled the robustness of the
ongoing partnership between our organizations and its role in Gate Gourmet's
market expansion plans."
