Simplifying Credit for Shaw Retailers With Versatile's In-Store Kiosk

DALTON, GEORGIA--(Marketwire - April 3, 2008) - Shaw Industries Group and Versatile Systems Inc. (TSX
VENTURE:VV)(AIM:VVS), today announced that they have partnered with CitiFinancial in order to simplify and
streamline the credit application process for flooring retailers and consumers with an attractive and easy-to-
use in-store kiosk. Shaw is the first in the flooring industry to offer two different models of Versatile's
kiosks, the Rockland and Madison. Shaw Design Center retailers will be the first to experience this innovation
at Synergy, the upcoming Shaw Design Center Convention which will be held from April 14-17, 2008 in Palm Coast,
Fla. Following the convention, both Versatile's Rockland and Madison kiosks will be offered to all Shaw
Flooring Alliance retailers.

"During this challenging market, it's more important than ever to make the credit application process simple
and accessible," said Scott Humphrey, marketing manager for the Shaw Flooring Alliance Network. "With the
instant application response, Versatile's kiosk will allow a consumer who may be on the fence to make their
flooring purchase with confidence. It will also allow retail sales associates to increase closing ratios and up-
sell. It's a win for retailers and a win for consumers."

"Shaw Flooring Alliance Network's forward-thinking strategy fits well with our ability to provide technology
solutions that drive operational efficiency while enhancing the customer experience," adds Bob Joyce, President
of Versatile. "Their selection of the Rockland and Madison models creates a flexible platform for Shaw to roll-
out additional customer-focused applications based on the needs of their business."

Small and compact, the Versatile kiosk occupies only a small section of showroom real estate. Consumers simply
approach the kiosk, apply on the touch screen and receive an instant response. Retailers can personalize the
kiosk by adding photographs, store history or any other information. During the kiosk unveiling at the Synergy
Convention, representatives from Versatile and Citi Retail Services, provider of the custom financing program
for Shaw Flooring Alliance Network retailers, will be on hand to answer questions about the new technology and
discuss ways to energize consumer spending.
