CDC Software’s Cloud-Based On-Demand eCommerce Platform to Integrate with Bidz.com Marketplace

CDC Software (NASDAQ: CDCS), a global provider of enterprise software applications and services, today announced it plans to integrate its cloud-based on-demand eCommerce platform with one of North America’s premier auction marketplaces as part of a strategic partnership with Bidz.com (NASDAQ: BIDZ), a leading online jewelry auctioneer in North America.

This partnership is expected to help CDC eCommerce customers, that include some of the world’s leading brand manufacturers and retailers, increase sales volume, as well as leverage an alternate channel of distribution for their products. As part of this partnership, customers can list items, like consumer electronics, computers and sports related products, which are not specialities of this jewelry auctioneer, exclusively into Bidz.com through its CDC cloud-based eCommerce system. This will help CDC eCommerce customers’ help increase online sales though auctioning off excess inventory into a highly visible distribution channel. In turn, CDC eCommerce customers also will provide Bidz.com with access to products beyond jewelry which helps them expand in the growing online auction marketplace.

Bidz.com offers live auctions on its website 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Bidz.com also features a unique live auction process where bidding ends at a preset deadline, unlike other sites where auctions can last for days. Bidz.com auctions are fast-paced with auctions that last as long as there are bidding, and close if there has not been a bid in 15 seconds.

“This partnership provides CDC Software with a new exclusive distribution channel for customers while adding additional opportunities for transactional revenue,” said Gary Black, general manager of CDC eCommerce product line of CDC Software. “Customers can utilize this new channel to help increase their sales and ultimately grow their bottom line.”

“We are delighted to partner with CDC Software and provide their world class customers exclusive access to our unique auction marketplace,” said Leon Kuperman, president of Bidz.com. “We believe that Bidz.com can help bring these customers’ excess inventory into a highly visible distribution channel that has bidders from as many as 130 countries.
