  • DISTRIBUTION REPORTS: Harmonised and centralised distribution reports to automate your activity on marketplaces. Access an error analysis grid, with sorted and standardised error types and their solutions.

Partner highlights

We work to create an ecosystem at the heart of your digital strategy, thanks to a growing number of partnerships and connectors:

  • We are continuing our collaboration with Akeneo PIM (Business Partner certification) to enable you to enrich your product data and offer a qualitative shopping experience to consumers.
  • On the CMS side, we have integrated the latest version of Shopware: Shopware 6. We also continue our regular updates on Shopify, Magento, Prestashop, etc. to provide the latest versions of plugins for your e-commerce activity.

The future is calling with Insights

We have made improvements to the “Business Recommendations” feature of the INSIGHTS analytics brick – our marketplaces recommendation system. We have improved the user interface and introduced goals, so you can list your business objectives and the countries you wish to target. By combining this data with the analysis of your catalogue and products’ EAN codes, we can provide you an even more detailed recommendation of the most suitable marketplaces and markets for your products, as well as the potential turnover.
