I worked for Redknife, later renamed OpenLatitude, that was WebVan's primary B2B exchange hub. We translated their orders/invoices/catelogs back and forth to their vendors. They were our second best customer behind MicroWarehouse.

When they went down, they took us with them. MicroWarehouse exercised a contract clause to purchase our software and hired me on a three month contract to teach them how to use it. I took it because my option was to be laid off.

Brings back memories, and not all good ones. What a wild ride.
