ALBANY, NY--(Marketwire - August 5, 2008) - CommerceHub, the Supply-on-Demand platform for
supply chain integration and fulfillment solutions, has been named a 2007
Partner in Progress for Sears Holdings Corporation. CommerceHub received
the award for its support of the successful Sears Holdings "Marketplace"
product expansion initiative, aggressively processing and on-boarding new
direct-to-consumer vendors. The CommerceHub flexible One Connection
platform enabled Sears.com to connect and on-board over 150 new
direct-to-consumer vendors in 2007.
The prestigious Partners in Progress award is presented annually to a
select group of supplier companies that provide Sears Holdings with quality
products and services, from apparel, appliances and tools to marketing,
facilities design and technology. Less than one percent of Sears Holdings'
over 30,000 suppliers earn the coveted award each year.
Interim CEO and President Bruce Johnson congratulated the winners stating,
"Partners in Progress was started more than 20 years ago and is a testament
to the importance of collaborating with our supplier partners to better
serve our customers and grow profitably. The Sears Holdings culture is one
that places a high priority on teamwork and a focus on customers. The
Partners in Progress program allows our company to recognize those
suppliers who have gone above and beyond to support Sears Holdings and help
us to achieve greater efficiency and effectiveness."
Steve Hamlin, CommerceHub CEO, said that "With our flexible and reliable
integration technology, and over 4,200 drop-ship suppliers already
connected to our
Supply-on-Demand platform, we were able to support the rapid supplier
integrations the Sears Holdings initiative required."
The Partners in Progress program recognizes suppliers for product or
service quality, innovation, diversity and overall market performance. The
winners were selected from nominations submitted by Sears' associates who
purchase goods and services for the company in 2007.
