MARKETPLACER EXPANDS INTO EUROPE WITH NEW ACCELERATOR PROGRAMS, STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIPS, AND AN A-TEAM OF eCOMMERCE EXPERTS
Strategic Investments Accelerate Growth Across Europe As The Demand For Online Marketplaces Continues To Increase
DENVER — May 9, 2023 – Marketplacer, a global technology platform that enables brands, retailers, suppliers, communities, and innovators to build and grow successful online marketplaces at scale, today announced strategic investments in Europe, as well as new partners and programs to support the growth of online marketplaces across the region and around the world.
These investments in the European market will enable more enterprises, sellers, and partners in the region to tap into the massive potential that online marketplaces present. With $3.24 trillion sold online in 2022 and 68 percent of global B2C eCommerce expected to come through marketplaces this year, the opportunities for growth are significant.
Marketplacer’s strategic expansion in the region will be supported through the addition of industry veterans to the European leadership team, including Vice President of Solution Engineering Luke Hilton and longtime retail influencer and Strategic Advisor to the Board Martin Newman.
“With so much potential in Europe, we’re taking bold steps to invest in and strengthen our presence across the region,” said Jason Wyatt, executive chairman, and CEO, Marketplacer. “We’re committed to supporting our aggressive growth goals across the region by building a best-in-class team that will deliver the necessary expertise and solutions for our customers and their customers, as well.”
NEW PARTNERS AND CUSTOMERS ACROSS EUROPE
To better serve the region, Marketplacer announced new partnerships with two of Europe’s leading channel managers, ChannelEngine and Luzern eCommerce.
With offices around the globe, including the Netherlands, UAE, US, and APAC, ChannelEngine facilitates the sales of more than six million products from 1,500 brands on 250+ sales channels.
Luzern eCommerce is Europe’s leading ecommerce accelerator for brands, delivering the technology and the expertise to optimize sales, margins, and inventory across channels and geographies.
The new partnerships enable ChannelEngine and Luzern eCommerce to combine their numerous merchant networks with Marketplacer’s major retailers and will significantly boost time to value for operators globally.
Underscoring Marketplacer’s expansion in Europe is the latest customer to go live in the Nordics, FINN, which is part of Schibsted Nordic Marketplaces. FINN is Norway’s largest marketplace and is hugely popular among Norwegians looking to buy or sell a large variety of products.
The company chose Marketplacer when it wanted to create a new marketplace for refurbished electronics. This strategy not only contributes to the company's growth initiatives but also reinforces its commitment to a circular economy by reducing consumer electronics' contribution to landfill.
“We are always looking for ways to expand into new categories that are relevant to our communities,” said Emilie Høstmark, FINN team lead for the refurbished electronics initiative. “Standing up a new marketplace is no easy task, but by partnering with Marketplacer we were able to go live within six months and experience real revenue growth in just a week. We can’t wait to leverage this new partnership to open up more marketplaces featuring more products.”
INNOVATIVE CUSTOMER-CENTRIC PROGRAMS TO SUPPORT ONLINE MARKETPLACE MOMENTUM
To support growing brands or retailers across the region, and across the globe, Marketplacer launched two innovative customer-centric programs: the Marketplacer Seller Community and the Marketplacer Accelerator Program.
An essential component of an online marketplace’s success is the ability to provide quality products and brands to the right audience. The Marketplacer Seller Community offers a simple and effective way for sellers and integrated channel managers to connect with Marketplacer operators and expand their reach while allowing operators to easily find and partner with high-quality sellers resulting in a streamlined process that allows them to focus on building a successful marketplace.
The Marketplacer Accelerator Program enables retailers to expand their product offerings, explore new brands and markets with lower investment risk, and scale more efficiently than drop-shipping while better managing sellers. The solution lets retailers quickly set up a marketplace that integrates with their existing e-commerce platforms including Adobe Commerce Cloud, Salesforce Commerce Cloud, commercetools, and BigCommerce. This reduces time-to-launch, eliminates complex implementations, and promotes faster revenue generation.
Learn more about these new programs and Marketplacer’s composable commerce solution by visiting us at Booth F20 during ShopTalk Europe, May 9-11, 2023.

Luzern eCommerce Unveils Its Latest Channel Optimizer™ Platform Release
Solidifies Its Position As The Leading European eCommerce Accelerator for Brands
Shoptalk Europe Event, Barcelona – Tuesday 9th May: Luzern eCommerce, the leading European eCommerce Accelerator, today unveiled its latest Channel Optimizer™ platform release. The release delivers unparalleled new features and enhancements and is central to the company’s tech-enabled services enabling Brands to optimize sales, margins, and inventory across channels and borders. Leading brands already deployed include HTC, Nestlé, Wella, Petsafe and Philips Hue (Signify) Lighting.
Channel Optimizer™ is a managed eCommerce platform, meaning Luzern eCommerce manages the platform and the tech-enabled services on behalf of brands, as their third-party eCommerce enabler. This flexibility and agile approach takes the heavy lifting out of eCommerce execution for brands enabling them to move fast, test and learn, and take control of how they perform and sell online.
Features:
Insights and Advanced Analytics: Enhanced performance indicators across shopper behavior such as propensity to buy, and enhanced performance indicators across brands and sellers such as factors to win Buy Box. Better insights mean better business decision-making.
Fully Automated Returns: The new release automates the return process across channels delivering a fast, no-touch service. The easy integration to an ERP system removes the complexity for the brands whilst improving the experience for the consumer.
Dynamic Price Management: Real-time price change based on strategic pricing rules configured in the platform. Rapidly identify price, margin, and revenue trends for more effective price management.
Fast integrations - API-driven Integration layer enables the most complete, modern eCommerce solution. A key feature is the use of the Amazon Seller Partner API which enables the ultimate optimization of product listings, better buy-box management including the latest competitor buy-box analytics and better analysis of advertising ACoS. The new release also integrates with connectors such as Marketplacer, Effect Connect and Myrakl for multiple marketplaces across Europe.
Channel Optimizer™ is a modular platform and is headless. The de-coupled back-end engine enables brands to prioritize which elements they need from complete end-to-end to more tailored solutions that extend and complement existing eCommerce capabilities. The composable architecture brings flexibility and scalability.
The platform also includes enhanced tools for managing inventory across multiple channels. Brands can now easily track stock levels in real time and adjust pricing accordingly. This enables them to quickly respond to changing market conditions and maximize sales opportunities. Additionally, the new version offers streamlined order processing capabilities that enable faster and more efficient fulfillment operations.
The company uses analytics-derived insights at its heart and presents the insights as a series of solutions that take the insights and apply actions to them that enable Luzern to act on them on behalf of the brand. It allows prescriptive analytics solutions to be implemented without the Brands needing to use data scientists for data analysis. This provides a simple-to-adopt solution that targets a selection of specific challenges that many brands face when selling D2C, on Amazon, and now supports multiple other marketplaces.
"We are excited to launch our newest version of Channel Optimizer" commented Mike Scally, CTO of Luzern eCommerce. "The AI and machine learning techniques incorporated can now deliver even more actionable insights to optimize strategies for brands to better understand their customers’ needs and preferences and deliver the best eCommerce experience."

eDesk AI Revolutionizes Customer Support for eCommerce
eCommerce support software company launches AI-powered automation that drastically improves the speed and quality of customer engagement and significantly reduces support costs.
New York, NY - On May 9, 2023, eDesk, the eCommerce customer support software company, announced the launch of eDesk AI, powered by generative artificial intelligence.
This innovative suite of AI-powered features analyzes incoming customer queries and generates contextually relevant, personalized replies that can either be reviewed by an agent, or delivered automatically — with no agent interaction. Because eDesk is connected to sales channels, it uses order and shipment data to augment replies and deliver highly accurate solutions. It’s the next generation of customer support software that will radically reduce response times and free up agents to focus on more complex issues that need a human touch.
“When I founded eDesk seven years ago, my #1 goal was to create a tool to simplify and centralize support for eCommerce,” said Ray Nolan, CEO at eDesk. “Today, we process more than 50 million messages per month for thousands of sellers across the globe. We’ve taken those learnings, harnessed the power of AI, and automated front-line support, so agents can reply in seconds, rather than hours. eDesk AI is the future of customer support, and we’re excited to be at the forefront of this innovative technology.”
eDesk AI is easy to integrate into existing workflows and can be customized to suit the unique needs of any business. It offers a range of features and benefits, including:
Smart categorization and sentiment analysis: eDesk AI rapidly analyzes queries, creates an at-a-glance summary, assigns a sentiment (positive, neutral, negative), and automatically designates a root cause and classification. This allows agents to quickly identify and prioritize the most important issues.
Automated response generation: eDesk AI generates suggested responses that can either be used by agents or automatically sent to customers, reducing response times and improving customer satisfaction.
Customizable responses: Businesses can customize eDesk AI's responses to match their brand tone and voice, ensuring consistency across all customer communications.
Enhanced reporting: eDesk AI provides detailed analytics on customer queries and responses, enabling businesses to identify trends and improve their support processes.
Better yet, eDesk AI lives right alongside the features online retailers already love most about eDesk, including centralized support across 200+ eCommerce and marketplace integrations, ticket, order, and customer information in one screen, templates, notes, and so much more.
“We believe that artificial intelligence will be a game changer for customer support and the eCommerce industry as a whole,” concludes Nolan. “With the increasing demand for instant gratification and personalized attention, we're confident that eDesk AI will greatly benefit our customers by streamlining their support operations, and we’re dedicated to its continued innovation.”
eDesk AI is available with the ticket-based Performance+ plan, which allows sellers to pay as they grow.
The plan includes unlimited users, unlimited integrations, unlimited templates, unlimited automations, and of course, all the incredible features of eDesk AI.

Sendinblue Becomes Brevo
Reflecting Company Growth and Platform Evolution
Expanded company direction in response to the evolving needs of digital businesses as consumer preferences take centre stage
Paris, May 4, 2023 – The leading global all-in-one digital marketing platform for small to medium-sized businesses, formerly known as Sendinblue, announces its rebranding as Brevo to deliver on its mission to provide businesses of all sizes with a full customer relationship management (CRM) suite to power long-term, sustainable growth. This requires that businesses invest in technology to grow customer relationships at scale.
Since 2012, Brevo has set the pace for innovation and adding new features. In recent years, it has observed a change in the needs of its customers. Over the last three years, this trend has continued with a steady adoption of multichannel customer engagement. For the company, only 31% of its customers remain solely focused on the email marketing feature. This proves that businesses today need more because their customers expect more. They want businesses to personalize communications and tailor offerings in an ultra-digitized and rapidly changing world.
Modern businesses need more than traditional marketing tactics
they need full Marketing and CRM tools packed into one platform that meets customers where they are in real time with two-way conversations via SMS, WhatsApp, and chat. In recognition of the evolution to a full CRM Suite, Sendinblue has been renamed to reflect this more accurate description of its full capabilities.
“The pace of digital marketing and consumer behavior has required that we innovate and evolve to empower businesses to grow even during challenging cycles,” shares Armand Thiberge, Founder and CEO. “We have answered this call with an accessible, affordable solution that nurtures customer relationships and delivers growth at scale. The transformation into Brevo is an important milestone at the decade mark for our company. This expansion will carry us through the next 10 years as we deliver on our own ambitious growth goals. We believe in empowering businesses of every size to keep the global economy strong. This is why the name Brevo was chosen because it conveys positivity and encouragement. The new name is a rally cry for optimism and growth for our customers.”
With the new identity, Brevo stands out as the only all- in-one solution, with unmatched value for reliable customer support in a full CRM Suite that keeps brands GDPR compliant.
“The overarching goal as Brevo was to highlight our personality and unique value of our own branding. As the core element is growth, this theme is carried through in all visuals with a logo inspired by growing trees and language that reflects the expansion of our mission. Our primary color choice is green to evoke growth and secondary colors have been selected for each of our product offerings for ease of recognition,” shares Miri Blum, Global Vice President of Marketing.
Over the past 18 months, Brevo has surpassed $100M in annual-recurring revenue—all while staying EBITDA positive—via a stable organic compounded annual growth rate of 40%, and acquired six companies—Chatra, Metrilo, PushOwl, Yodel.io, Captain Wallet and MeetFox—to accelerate the delivery of features as customer needs have changed. Brevo has big plans for the future: to achieve $1 billion ARR by 2030 with a sharp focus on answering the business need for building stronger, longer-lasting customer relationships.
In a world where marketing encompasses the entire customer experience, Brevo puts the focus on lasting relationships with real people. Brevo is a symbol of thoughtful long-term investments in relationships rather than short-term sales because relationships are always the best investment for growth. Now every business has a chance to fulfill their potential.
About Brevo
Brevo, formerly known as Sendinblue, is the leading customer relationship management (CRM) suite designed to fully cultivate long-term customer relationships and to empower businesses to expand in a fast changing digital world. With Brevo, businesses have a unified view of the customer journey in one easy-to-use platform to grow meaningful relationships. Brevo makes this simple and accessible with intuitive and scalable marketing and CRM tools such as Email, SMS, WhatsApp, Chat, Marketing Automation, Meetings, and much more. Today, more than 500,000 businesses across 180 countries, including Sodexo, Louis Vuitton, Carrefour, eBay, and Michelin, trust Brevo’s reliable technology and 75+ integrations to deliver unparalleled customer experiences, reduce costs, and drive sales in one CRM suite.
