CommerceHub the ONE connection
  History  


CommerceHub has been revolutionizing trading partner connectivity since its inception in 1997. Initially founded as an e-commerce integrations firm connecting suppliers to their retail partners, the company recognized the significant barriers in establishing supplier integration as well as managing the fulfillment process. As a result, the company has focused on growing profitably by enabling any organization, regardless of internal systems or technical capabilities, to connect to all of its trading partners by establishing a single connection to CommerceHub.

CommerceHub became a profitable company within 5 years of start up, and has successfully established itself as the premier provider of technologies and services that enable merchants to sell products without actually owning, warehousing, or distributing inventory.

Today, CommerceHub has built a world-class Supply-on-Demand platform representing thousands of consumer brands, business suppliers and hundreds of thousands of products. CommerceHub is the integrated connection for industry leading merchants, manufacturers, suppliers and carriers, and is currently processing millions of orders through its platform.
