Press Release Summary: Hertzler Systems' GainSeeker has Channel Partner in QualiFine

Press Release Body: Hertzler Systems' data acquisition and analysis solutions are
helping customers eliminate scrap, waste and rework in business processes. But the
company is also interested in giving corporate leaders the tools they need to make
better decisions and improve their bottom line. Partners like QualiFine are paving
the way for Hertzler to continue to advance both objectives.


Hertzler first teamed with QualiFine founder Jay Bronec when he was recruited by the
Webber Group to handle its software business. Over time the software business, more
focused on solving shop floor challenges, took a different path from Webber's
quality consulting business and paved the way for Jay to purchase the Hertzler
franchise and establish QualiFine.


"We were delighted to transfer the relationship to QualiFine because Jay brought
intense energy and a vision for growing the business," said Evan Miller, President
of Hertzler. By listening to customers, QualiFine found that instead of software,
companies wanted solutions capable of solving their quality problems. QualiFine
responded with a breakthrough approach involving the creation and customization of
the first networked database-driven quality data systems. The result was powerful
custom solutions so well received they became the building blocks for one of the
most successful Hertzler Systems franchises in the world.


A decade later Hertzler calls QualiFine a VAR - (Value Added Reseller). "QualiFine
adds value to our GainSeeker Suite during the implementation process the company
performs," said Byron Shetler, Vice President of Technology for Hertzler. "QualiFine
customers are raving fans which enhances Hertzler's reputation. In addition,
QualiFine is a great source of product feedback - feedback that leads to many new
system enhancements that customers really value."


Hertzler, based in Goshen, Indiana, has been providing accurate data acquisition and
analysis solutions for over twenty years. Its diverse customer base includes
manufacturing, service and transactional environments. Hertzler's GainSeeker Suite
product and its training and consulting services allow customers to easily acquire
data from any process, analyze the data in real time, instantly notify process
owners of process changes and uncover root causes for these variations. As a result,
customers can reduce costs, cycle time, errors and defects and increase
profitability.


Shetler says, "In addition to generating product enhancements, QualiFine has a
unique perspective on how the Hertzler systems can be stretched and utilized.
QualiFine's inventive approaches develop entrenchment with the customer that leads
to good references and migratory business." Based in Chicago, QualiFine is able to
provide local service and support to Hertzler customers as well as a 3500 square
foot training center with a live application laboratory.


As a leading provider of automated statistical process control (SPC) solutions,
partnering with QualiFine allows Hertzler to extend its reach and give customers the
tools they need to compete in today's lean manufacturing environment. Shetler noted,
"QualiFine was selected because of their desire to provide complete solutions to
customers. Their approach meshes with our mission to help our customers make
informed decisions about process improvements by providing the right software and
services while fostering ongoing relationships."

solutions that drive business transformation. The company provides the leading
