fulfillment for multiple specialty online retail sites

SCOTTSDALE, AZ - July 20, 2006 - Vcommerce Corporation, the market leader in on-demand e-commerce and fulfillment solutions, has launched an advanced fulfillment solution for Ritz Interactive, an award-winning, specialty online retailer and e-commerce service provider that operates a network of websites offering high quality, branded lifestyle products. The Vcommerce fulfillment solution gives Ritz Interactive complete control and flexibility over the online fulfillment process for consumer electronics across multiple sites. This is accomplished through consolidation of the Ritz consumer electronics supplier network and through access to advanced sourcing logic and Web-based management tools.

"Each of the Ritz Interactive websites, from RitzCamera.com to BoatersWorld.com, is known for their unparalleled product selection, incredible convenience and competitive prices in their respective fields," said Fred Lerner, CEO at Ritz Interactive. "With Vcommerce, we now have the ability to further expand product offerings for each unique site while ensuring optimal fulfillment and minimizing operation costs." According to Lerner, the ability to efficiently integrate with a large number of suppliers, access advanced sourcing logic and to use other management tools to support the best customer experience and provide more operational control, were key criteria in their selection of a fulfillment solution for the consumer electronics component of their business.

"The fulfillment infrastructure has an immediate and very real impact on customer satisfaction as well as the bottom line for e-commerce businesses," said Dan Clarke, CEO of Vcommerce. "In today's competitive online marketplace, companies increasingly require more sophisticated technology to nurture customers and grow revenues while controlling costs. Leveraging our proven on-demand fulfillment solution and our advanced management tools allows our clients to manage these complexities with no investment in software and the assurance that they will always have the latest technology."

The Vcommerce back-end fulfillment solution is an on-demand solution that integrates with existing online storefronts. It enables retailers to employ a single automated solution to rapidly integrate their proprietary supplier networks, control multi-channel, high-volume order traffic across complex supplier networks and measure supplier performance. Highly-configurable, the Vcommerce solution offers advanced sourcing logic and Web-based management tools, including a single dashboard to manage orders and track key metrics and scorecards to measure supplier performance, to provide visibility and control across all steps in the commerce chain.
