QUEZON CITY, Philippines, February 2, 2011 - Manthan Systems, Inc., a leading producer of retail analytics
and performance management solutions, today announced that Robinsons Retail
Group, one of the largest retailers in the Philippines, has selected its
retail analytics product, ARC Supplier Portal & Analytics for their Robinsons
Supermarket Chain.

Robinsons Supermarket was looking for a platform that would improve
business analytics, speed up transactional processes and enhance
retailer-vendor partnerships and ARC Supplier Portal & Analytics fitted
well into their requirement. ARC Supplier Portal & Analytics is a
portal-based supplier-trade partner collaboration platform for exchanging
information critical to key processes like order management, master data
management, vendor performance, inventory management, promotions, rebates
and customer insight, etc.

Generally, retailers share only Purchase Order data with its
suppliers. ARC's Supplier Portal & Analytics changes this trend by providing
rich analytical solutions which ensures reduction in operational cost of
tracking POs and invoices, avoid penalties by managing the documents
properly, and hence increase the transparency in payments.

The General Manager of Robinsons Supermarket, Mr. Jody Gadia
said, "Our trade partners will now have visibility on highly essential
information such as the performance and stock levels of their products in our
stores at any given time. They will also have the ease of tracking their
payment details online. The ARC Supplier Portal & Analytics will definitely
become a powerful tool for them to make proactive business decisions, thereby
improving their over-all business performance."

Manthan's MD & CEO, Atul Jalan quoted, "It's wonderful to see
Robinsons Retail grow and extend their retail analytical capabilities.
Suppliers generally have limited or no access to Business Intelligence (BI).
However, with ARC Supplier Portal & Analytics, it is going to provide
Robinsons Supermarket and their suppliers a transparent and 360 degree view
for collective decision making. I am confident that Robinsons Supermarket
will leverage ARC's extensive supplier portal design and platform to their
benefit."
