Vcommerce Powers International E-Commerce Initiative for Napster

Vcommerce Solution Adds Retail Sales of MP3 Players and Accessories to Napster Offerings

June 6, 2005--

Vcommerce Corporation today announced that Napster (Nasdaq:NAPS - News), the biggest brand in digital music, selected Vcommerce to power its recently-launched e-commerce initiative for the United States and the United Kingdom. Through "Shop Napster," the company offers MP3 players and other items in conjunction with its award-winning digital music service.

The relationship enables Napster to focus on its core music business, while using Vcommerce to cost-effectively manage online sales of Napster-branded items, personal-audio products, gift cards and accessories. In less than 12 weeks, Vcommerce delivered a complete international e-commerce site and drop-ship fulfillment system for Shop Napster. As a part of this solution, Napster and Vcommerce have deployed an integrated fulfillment solution for bundled offerings of Napster's subscription service and leading MP3 players.

The sites can be accessed from within www.Napster.com and www.Napster.co.uk through the "Shop Napster" link as well as at shop.napster.com and shop.napster.co.uk.

The initiative is powered by Vcommerce's VantageCommerce solution, which includes such technology and services as merchandising, site design, order processing, customer service, drop-ship fulfillment and returns management. Napster will use Vcommerce's Web-based merchandising tool to implement on-going merchandising of the store, including special offers, discounts, and rebates. The integrated fulfillment solution uses EDI feeds to connect Napster's in-house systems with Vcommerce's pre-integrated supplier network as well as Napster's existing third party warehousing partners in the US and UK. In addition to Visa, MasterCard and American Express, the solution supports a wide range of payment options including UK-specific currency and debit cards that make it simple for customers to purchase.

"Vcommerce's flexible commerce solutions are designed to allow our clients to keep what works, fix what's broken and take it all to a new level," said Dan Clarke, Vcommerce's CEO. "In Napster's case, we were able to hook their existing internal systems and third-party warehouses into our solution for a custom-configured e-commerce system."

"Vcommerce's merchandising tool provides unparalleled freedom and flexibility for business users," said Dan Kennedy, Vcommerce's president and chief technology officer. "Merchandisers can quickly make changes and push them live from their own desktops, all without having to involve IT resources."
