Kmart Corp.’s BlueLight.com e-commerce operation has begun exchanging electronic orders from its web site with suppliers, the company reported today. CommerceHub completed implementation of a vendor-direct supply chain network system for BlueLight in less than 30 days, Kmart said. "We are impressed by CommerceHub's ability to deliver on the promise of supply chain collaboration," said Brian Sugar, chief web officer of BlueLight.com. "CommerceHub's unique support for drop-ship fulfillment is enabling us to rapidly expand our product offerings without adding to our inventory-risk. We expect to see significant returns from this relationship in the forms of enhanced customer service, streamlined fulfillment and reduced operating expenses."
CommerceHub built the BlueLight system on CommerceHub's pre-built infrastructure and its proprietary data translation platform. "BlueLight understands the financial advantages of outsourcing fulfillment on certain merchandise, relying on top-flight suppliers to provide shipments directly to their customers,” said Frank Poore, president and CEO of CommerceHub. CommerceHub is a provider of hosted supply chain services for business-to-business and business-to-consumer merchandisers.
