Packable and Tradeswell
Enter into Partnership to Enhance SaaS Offerings for Clients with Data-Driven, AI-powered Technology
Tradeswell’s
operating and intelligence platform becomes a critical component of Packable’s advanced headless commerce system
NEW YORK, NY & BALTIMORE, MD - December
15, 2021 - Packable, a leading e-commerce company with a proprietary tech-enabled offering, sitting at the intersection of brands,
marketplaces and customers, and Tradeswell, the operating system for real time commerce, today announced a partnership that will
bring together Tradeswell’s advanced data, operations and intelligence platform and Packable’s proprietary technology offerings
in data, commerce and marketing engines to create an end-to-end technology solution for Packable’s data driven e-commerce platform.
Through this partnership, Tradeswell’s
proprietary AI-powered operating and intelligence platform will play a critical role in advancing Packable’s vision of a single
unified hub of cross-functional data powering efficiency with automated actions and insights for client teams. Tradeswell is an experienced
player in this space and has worked with over 250 brands to improve their ability to measure performance and gain a deeper understanding
of their e-commerce businesses through the removal of black boxes and consolidation of data across the entire e-commerce value chain,
from retail and marketing to finance and logistics.
“Packable is thrilled to partner
with Tradeswell to build on our strong foundation of e-commerce enablement and create a true end-to-end solution for brands. This is
an exciting time of growth, as we work hard to expand our SaaS offerings for our customers and forming strategic partnerships to co-create
unique solutions in order to power brands growth in e-commerce is critical to our continued success,” said Andrew Vagenas, CEO
of Packable. “We’re also proud to be making an investment in Tradeswell, demonstrating our confidence in the long-term viability
of their technology and allowing the Tradeswell team to reach new heights. Beyond this exciting investment, our partnership will allow
our brand managers and brand partners to work closely together and unlock insights to drive profitable revenue growth and increased brand
market share. By working with Packable and Tradeswell, brands can rely on the right tools and technology for lightning-fast, machine-smart
decision-making.”
Unlike firms that acquire emerging D2C
brands to grow their business on Amazon, Packable partners with its clients to accelerate their third-party businesses across all leading
marketplaces, enabling such clients to scale through digital commerce. While many brands struggle with marketplace management, global
supply chain challenges, warehousing, fulfillment, and advertising efforts, Packable has systems and technology that can smartly automate
various steps in the marketplace ecosystem to ensure positive consumer experiences and acceleration in sales for brands.
“Packable
is a powerhouse and sets the industry standard in the markets it serves and each that it enters,” said Paul Palmieri, CEO of Tradeswell.
“We are excited to partner with a company that understands how true advantage in e-commerce comes from faster and nuanced
access to enhanced data and insights across e-commerce channels.”
“Even just a few years ago, the
technology that existed for brands would not be able to keep up with how quickly marketplaces were evolving,” said Jesse Leikin,
SVP Products & Technology at Tradeswell. “But now, what we’ve developed anticipates what programmatic digital commerce
looks like years into the future. We’re excited to work with Packable to become the AI engine powering e-commerce 3.0.”
On September 9, 2021, Packable announced
plans to become a public company in partnership with Highland Transcend Partners I Corp. (NYSE: HTPA). For more information about this

use of words such as “estimate,” “plan,” “project,” “forecast,” “intend,”

to predict and will differ from assumptions. Many actual events and circumstances are beyond the control of Packable and HTP. These forward-looking statements
are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including changes in domestic and foreign business, market, financial, political
and legal conditions; the inability of the parties to successfully or timely consummate the proposed business combination, including
