TPG PROJECTS TOP LINE GROWTH OF AN ADDITIONAL 3% FROM E-FULFILLMENT 
TPG seizes e-fulfillment lead in Europe with @TNT Demand Chain Management


Today TNT Post Group N.V. (TPG) announced that its new global e-fulfillment
service, under the working title @TNT, aims to capture 25% of outsourced
business-to-business European e-fulfillment. Based on current industry
forecasts (E-stats), TPG expects an additional revenue growth of 3% from
2003 as a result of its e-fulfillment business. Leveraging its global
distribution and logistics strengths, TPG will join forces with US
order-processing leader OrderTrust Inc. and Descartes Systems Group Inc.
to offer realtime integrated order processing and sourcing, enabling it
to orchestrate and execute domestic pan-European and global e-fulfillment
orders. TPG will kick off its pilot program in May with its first customer, 
the Italian motorbike manufacturer Aprilia. Full commercial roll-out will be
implemented later in the year.

@TNT combines the five 'back-end' services necessary for truly world class 
e-fulfillment: order management; payment processing; warehousing; transportation
and delivery; and post action management (returns, repairs, customer service).
For the first time, businesses can handle e-transactions worldwide through one
system and a centralised point of control.

"With @TNT we have designed a solution not only for today's e-fulfillment needs,
but for the more complex needs of tomorrow," says  Ad Scheepbouwer, chairman and
CEO of ITG. "The emerging e-commerce customers will demand an entirely new class
of expertise, with a constant flow of information about the products and
services they have ordered.  This is what e-fulfillment really means, and @TNT
is the first product in our industry capable of providing it in full."

TPG with its two brands TNT and PTT Post, is a global provider of mail,
express and logistics services. It employs more than 115,000 people in 60
countries and serves over 200 countries. The company had sales of EUR 8.5
billion in 1999. TPG is publicly listed on the Stock Exchanges of
Amsterdam, New York, London and Frankfurt.
