Fifth Gear To Exhibit At Internet Retailer Conference & Exhibition In Chicago

Fifth Gear announces its participation at the 2010 Internet Retailer Conference & Exhibition (IRCE) to be held June 8-11 at the McCormick Place West, Chicago. As the world's largest e-retailing show, IRCE hosts every key industry in e-retailing, including retail, catalog, manufacturing and consumer service companies. The 170,000 square-foot Exhibit Hall at IRCE 2010 will showcase technology from a wide variety of e-retailing solutions and in every category of the e-commerce marketplace.

Fifth Gear, exhibiting in Booth #324, is one of only a few exhibitors offering a complete spectrum of outsourced business and technology services for direct commerce. The company provides order fulfillment, contact center, managed ecommerce, and interactive marketing services to specialty retailers and manufacturers of consumer products.

"Fifth Gear now has a unique ability to combine a set of customized order fulfillment, call center and technology services to bring cost effective solutions to companies experiencing growth in their B2C operations," says Matt Konkle, president of Fifth Gear. "Retailers seeking profitable direct commerce channels come to Fifth Gear to experience not only cost savings for their bottom line, but also integrity for their brand delivered by people who care about their business results."

Fifth Gear recently launched its new brand as a result of the consolidation of two leaders in retail services, Sigma Micro LLC and Stark Bro's Fulfillment. Both companies have provided technology and operational services to the direct retail market for nearly 30 years each. The new combined company, Fifth Gear, continues to use its proprietary technology platform as the foundation for outsourced retail support of warehouse, fulfillment, customer service and marketing for its extensive customer base, including storefront operations, catalogers, e-tailers, and well-known retail clients.

"We're excited to be participating again at IRCE, this time with the new Fifth Gear brand," noted Steve Warren, vice president of business development. "This conference puts us in touch with our existing customers as well as prospects that would greatly benefit from what we now can offer direct retailers, particularly those in need of operational expertise."
