FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

QRS ANNOUNCES NEW INTERNET B2B MARKETPLACE

DECEMBER 1, 1999 -- RICHMOND, CALIFORNIA: QRS Corporation (Nasdaq: QRSI)
today announced the launch of Tradeweave (www.tradeweave.com), an online
business-to-business community and marketplace for the retail industry.
Tradeweave enables retailers and their trading partners to list, buy and sell
merchandise over the Internet.  Initial launch partners include retail
industry leaders such as Dillard Department Stores Inc. (NYSE: DDS) and The
Donna Karan Company (NYSE: DK). In addition, the majority of QRS'
approximately 8,500 customers will be pre-registered for active trading.

"Over the past ten years, QRS has established itself as a leader in providing
business-to-business electronic commerce services to the retail industry,"
says John Simon, CEO of QRS. "With the introduction of Tradeweave, we are
leveraging our industry knowledge, customer base and existing e-commerce
services to provide an entirely new way for retailers and their trading
partners to conduct business.  We believe Tradeweave provides a highly
efficient Internet-based solution to the problems of handling excess retail
goods while maintaining control over distribution. Industry sources estimate
that today over 20% of retail merchandise is surplus, and almost 45% of all
goods are sold at a discount, often with significant damage to the brand.
This is a major area of concern for our retail industry customers."

Tradeweave enables retailers and vendors to list, buy and sell merchandise
through a unique staged auction process over the Internet.  All buyers and
sellers are pre-registered and authorized to trade by QRS. After registering,
customers will be provided with a Tradeweave 'Passport', which authenticates
them as an approved trader in the marketplace.  Sellers will issue 'Visas' to
selected approved buyers to formalize trading relationships.  Sellers benefit
by increasing their market reach, drawing more competitive bids, and gaining
more control over their brand and the sales process.  Buyers benefit by
having broader access to merchandise at attractive prices through a central
location. Both sellers and buyers benefit from an integrated e-commerce
back-end using existing QRS services.  All industry players will have access
to Tradeweave's retail trade news, content and directories.

"Tradeweave is a global, virtual marketplace that will provide merchants
access to all vendors, at any time, from any place," says Alex Dillard, CEO
of Dillard Department Stores.  "This market is integrated with our purchasing
system through QRS' eCommerce services. Tradeweave will increase our
visibility to vendors' available inventory.  This will help us take advantage
of mid-season buying opportunities."

Tradeweave will leverage QRS' existing services and customer base in several
ways.  Most of QRS' approximately 8,500 customers will be pre-registered on
Tradeweave, providing a large initial base of buyers and sellers.  In
addition, Tradeweave users will be able to access QRS Keystone, the retail
industry's largest product information database with more than 70 million
items, thereby ensuring up-to-date and accurate product information.
Finally, transactions on Tradeweave will be completed through the electronic
exchange of purchase orders and other documents using QRS' eCommerce
services, thereby saving time and administrative costs, and ensuring that
transactions are executed accurately and are integrated with back-office
systems.

Tradeweave will initially focus its sales, marketing, and support services to
handle surplus and excess goods within the general merchandise and apparel
segment of the retail industry.  Future plans include expansion to other
retail segments, including grocery and consumer product goods.  QRS further
expects to add capabilities that will support trading of first-run goods.
Active trading is expected to begin during the first quarter of 2000.



In response to this unique market opportunity, and the interest engendered by
the initial launch partners, QRS will accelerate its investment in building
the Tradeweave infrastructure, product development and customer
implementation efforts.  Such acceleration will impact results in the fourth
quarter of 1999 through fiscal 2000.  While QRS expects the initiation of
revenue generating auction activity during the first quarter of 2000, the
Company does not anticipate material revenue contribution until the latter
half of fiscal 2000 at the earliest.

QRS is a leading provider of business-to-business electronic commerce
services to the retail industry.  The Company's services help its
approximately 8,500 retailer, vendor, manufacturer and carrier customers to
leverage information, electronic networks, and Internet technologies to more
rapidly anticipate and respond to consumer demand, manage inventory levels,
exchange business documents and information, and reduce operating costs.
These services provide a network and the functionality that enables retail
industry trading partners to transact business, share information and
collaborate worldwide. QRS services, which are delivered over the Internet
and proprietary networks, are organized into four major categories: eCommerce
Services, Content Services, Application Services, and Marketplace Services.
