United Recyclers Group, LLC and ARA Services Reach Milestone Agreement on the Integration of ARAccelerator Data on Pinnacle

    DENVER, Aug. 31 United Recyclers Group and ARA Services
Corporation are pleased to announce the terms of their agreement to allow URG
Pinnacle(TM) users the opportunity to access ARAccelerator data.  The data
received from ARA Services will be integrated directly into Pinnacle, via a
local exchange, allowing Pinnacle(TM) users to view the data from the
Accelerator directly on their Pinnacle(TM) sales screen.  This data includes
parts from other recyclers on several different inventory management systems,
such as ADP Hollander and Checkmate.
    Pinnacle(TM) users will now be able to access inventory from other auto
recyclers using the ARAccelerator System.  "URG is excited about reaching this
milestone with ARA Services Corporation.  We look forward to working together
with them on future projects such as this one," said Sharon Kellum, URG
General Manager.
    Under this agreement, URG Partners using Pinnacle(TM) will simply sign
agreements with other sites that use the ARAccelerator -- the largest database
of automotive recycled parts in the industry, with more than 1000 contributing
recyclers.  The data from the ARAccelerator will be sent directly to the
Pinnacle user terminals as part of their URGNet(TM).  "This now gives the
Pinnacle(TM) Partner the opportunity to increase the number of trading
partners they have outside the Pinnacle(TM) Network," said Sharon Kellum, URG
General Manager.  "This benefit increases the number of parts available to
each Pinnacle(TM) Partner by letting them select other recyclers in their area
who are on ARAccelerator but not yet on Pinnacle(TM)."
    "ARA Services Corporation is pleased with this opportunity to provide ADP
Hollander and Checkmate data to Pinnacle users at the local level," said Guy
Caron, CEO of ARA Services Corporation.  "This transaction fits right in with
our motto, 'more power to move parts'."
    URG and ARA Services Corporation are planning more partnerships between
their two powerful recycler organizations in the future.  The next step in
this relationship will be the data integration of Pinnacle(TM) users data to
ARAccelerator.
