Shopko.com Selects CommerceHub To Expand Online Product Offering

ONE Connection® Platform Provides eCommerce Drop Ship Fulfillment

Albany, NY – CommerceHub®, the ONE Connection for supply chain integration and fulfillment solutions, announced today it has been selected by Shopko.com to provide drop ship fulfillment integration for its eCommerce operations.  The CommerceHub supplier integration and drop ship fulfillment technology will enable Shopko.com to rapidly expand product offerings through its network of drop ship suppliers.

“The addition of Commerce Hub allows Shopko.com to substantively augment its merchandise assortment to its customers,” said Mike Sidders, Shopko Vice President of eCommerce.  “By making direct connections to our vendor partners, we're no longer inhibited by the limitations of taking literal possession of goods.  Making physical space for goods in a warehouse or on a shelf is no longer an issue.  The system makes thousands of new products available for sale, which, at the end of the day, benefits our customers by presenting them with many, many more product options for their needs.”

The CommerceHub One Connection integration standardizes communications with drop ship suppliers, regardless of legacy technology format, providing complete order visibility and proactive monitoring of the fulfillment process.  Shopko.com will be able to drop ship product directly from suppliers to customers, while maintaining the same degree of customer service, fulfillment performance and brand management as they do with their extensive network of Shopko retail stores.

“We welcome Shopko.com to the CommerceHub Platform, where they will be able to quickly add drop ship suppliers to their eCommerce supply chain and grow online product offerings.” said Steve Hamlin, CommerceHub CEO.

CommerceHub’s Drop-Ship Master™ provides the comprehensive suite of fulfillment management solutions that enables Shopko.com to send each supplier all the information required to create customized branded packing slips and fulfill orders by shipping directly to the customer.
