hsupply.com Depolys 80 Properties On its e-procurement 
Site During June; 
Named to Forbes.com�s First Best of The Web: B2B Guide

ATLANTA, June, 30, 2000 -- In Forbes.com�s first annual Best of The Web:
B2B guide, their team of editors have handicapped some B2B companies and picked 200 of the most promising and competitive in 25 industries, one of which is hospitality and travel. hsupply.com, a  leading e-procurement company, made the cut. Each company was judged on its strategy, its execution, its financial staying power and its web site. And it�s no surprise that hsupply was highlighted given their rapid base of customer adoption.

In the month of June alone, hsupply.com has deployed more than 80 properties on its e-procurement site. More than 150 hotel properties are actively making transactions year-to-date and more than 1000 are scheduled to go online by the end of the year. Larry Hall, President of hsupply.com comments, �We will continue to stay very focused on our customers and making sure that their needs are met as we roll these properties out�our customer care is definitely one of the qualities that Forbes took into consideration.

With so many alleged competitors popping up everyday, we are very pleased to be captured by such a well respected business publication with so many other well-established B2B players.�

Competition in the hospitality procurement arena is fierce, but quantity doesn�t necessarily mean quality. The B2B horse race is off. Which ones will thrive and which will falter? Forbes has placed its vote with hsupply.com and so have 16 other hotel management companies. More than 1,000 web marketplaces overall have been announced in the past year or so and more are expected to appear before one to two clear winners take the market share for each industry. To read more about the predicted winners, read the recent report, Next Generation B2B Solutions: The Revolution�s Winners, by hsupply CEO and acclaimed e-commerce author Dr. Ravi Kalakota.

hsupply.com is a leading B2B e-services company that is reinventing procurement for the $50 billion hospitality supplies industry. Its unique Next.0� approach integrates the power of the Internet, customer relationship management and comprehensive supply chain management into a seamless, one-source destination site - the hsupply.com Marketplace - to allow product selection, ordering, fulfillment, tracking, payment, and reporting to be performed via one easy-to-use tool.
