Distribution Center Software: AutoExec Teams With Voxware To Bring Voice To More Warehouses

AutoExec Now Powered by Voxware with Open, Standards-Based Voice Software to add Voice Capabilities to Distribution Center Software Suite

AutoExec Software Development Group, a full-service provider of distribution execution software solutions, and Voxware, Inc. (Nasdaq: VOXW), a leading supplier of voice-driven logistics solutions, today announced that Voxware software would enable voice capabilities in AutoExec's distribution center software, AutoExec.Suite. AutoExec will utilize Voxware's VoxBrowser client software, an open-standard, browser-based, VoiceXML solution, to extend the benefits of voice throughout the warehouse. VoxBrowser is certified to run on a wide range of mobile computing devices.

AutoExec Vice President of Software Products Randy Hardeman said, "We considered several voice solution providers, and Voxware is the only vendor that enables us to add voice capabilities under our AutoExec brand. We consider voice technology a very valuable tool in our toolbox. There are many logistics functions where voice can significantly improve efficiency. The possibilities are endless and Voxware has simplified our ability to develop voice-enabled solutions that explore that potential. We're already using Voxware software to develop a voice-driven logistics solution for a major sporting goods retailer who had been considering another technology partner. Several of our customers have inquired about voice, and being Powered by Voxware further enhances the value of our existing software suite."

"As we add voice capabilities to our AutoExec.Suite distribution center operations system, the open-standard nature of VoxBrowser is crucial to us," Hardeman added, "because our customers want the flexibility to choose mobile hardware from a variety of vendors, such as LXE and Symbol."

Voxware President Tom Drury commented, "We are very pleased to partner with AutoExec, whose customers include some of the foremost companies in markets such as sporting goods retail, office supply retail and snack food manufacturing. Our partnership will enable AutoExec to drive down costs for its customers by leveraging voice technology, and AutoExec's choice of VoxBrowser reinforces Voxware's position as the industry leader in the development of open, standards-based voice-driven logistics software."
