Shipwire Founder and CEO to Speak at Internet Retailer Conference & Exhibition, Wednesday June 17, 2009

SUNNYVALE, Calif.--(Business Wire)--
Shipwire (http://www.shipwire.com/), a leading order fulfillment and warehouse
logistics service, today announced that Damon Schechter, CEO & founder, will
speak on the "Greening your fulfillment operation: A good idea that creates a
market benefit" panel at the Internet Retailer Conference & Exhibition (IRCE) on
Wednesday, June 17th at 11:30am, at the Boston Convention & Exhibition Center.

For Internet retailers, "greening" order fulfillment isn`t just a way to support
a company`s environmental mission. It is a way to improve shipping efficiencies,
which in turn cuts costs and increases sales. In this panel, Schechter along
with Shipwire customer, Joe Alexander, Director of Keetsa-an eco-friendly
mattress retailer-will discuss how Keetsa leveraged Shipwire to cut their
shipping costs, automate their sales and expand their network of retailers.
Drawing on Keetsa as an example, Schechter, author of, "Delivering the Goods:
The Art of Managing Your Supply Chain" (Wiley, 2002), will discuss how
Shipwire`s efficient order fulfillment model led Keetsa to cut costs and grow by
200% over the past year, in a downturn economy. By leveraging multiple
warehouses, and moving product closer to buyers, Shipwire helped Keetsa reduce
its shipping times and costs up to 50%, and incur less travel distance, thereby
cutting its carbon footprint.

Keetsa`s inventory storage and order fulfillment, from a global warehouse
network, putting product closer to customer homes and helping to drastically cut

cost savings it has realized with greener storage and shipping practices, and
pass them onto customers. So Keetsa`s eco-friendly mattresses allow both the
retailer and its customers to realize more green in their pockets. These
efficiencies come together to create an efficient mattress business model…and
every day cost savings to consumers in the range of 50 to 75 percent. To learn
