Boynton Beach, FL, June 17, 2010

VendorNet (http://vendornet.com), an innovator in supply chain management software solutions, today announced the National Geographic Society selected VendorNet as its technology partner of choice to automate its dropship business. VendorNet Dropship Manager will provide the order management and supplier integration capabilities to efficiently handle the National Geographic Society’s expanding e-commerce and catalog dropship business.

The National Geographic Society (http://www.nationalgeographic.com) is one of the largest non-profit scientific and educational institutions in the world. With interests in geography, archaeology and natural science, the promotion of environmental and historical conservation, it has been inspiring people to care about the planet since 1888. The National Geographic Catalog & Online Store (http://www.ShopNG.com) funds the Society’s mission programs, ranging from cultural preservation that helps indigenous artisans become economically stable while preserving their cultural heritage, to exploration and research, geography education, and conservation.

“Strong growth over the past two years made it necessary for us to look at a new solution for processing our dropship orders,” explained Sharon Cowley, Vice President of Operations at National Geographic Catalog/Online. “A strong recommendation from one of our existing international vendors, led us to VendorNet. VendorNet Dropship Manager has the functionality and features to provide a flexible and scalable platform for us to efficiently manage our projected growth, and confidently expand the depth and breadth of our product offerings. Additionally, the integrated two-way communication with our dropship vendors coupled with the vendor-level performance reporting is a big plus.”
