Growth electronically and physically continues at ChannelAdvisor (NYSE: ECOM).
The ecommerce services provider has aligned itself with MercadoLibre in Latin America and opened an office in Sao Paulo.
On Wednesday, ChannelAdvisor expanded its online web services to include Shopify.
Just last week, ChannelAdvisor added Best Buy as one of its ecommerce marketplace partners.
“Our efforts to continuously enhance our global platform led us to establish a presence in Latin America, which according to Forrester is the fastest growing ecommerce market in the world,” said ChannelAdvisor Chief Operating Officer David Spitz. “We believe that formalizing a strategic partnership with MercadoLibre will offer our customers access to new sources of demand and the ability to scale their businesses in this region.”
ChannelAdvisor noted that MercadoLibre is the provider of the “largest ecommerce ecosystem in Latin America.”
The new office will serve as ChannelAdvisor’s hub for its Latin America efforts.
The company works with clients to automate and manage online selling through a variety of channels, including paid search, comparison shopping engines and third-party marketplaces.
Shopify Addition
By adding Shopify to its webstores offering, ChannelAdvisor says it is enabling its customers to reach more buyers.
“Shopify helps more than 70,000 retailers build their online businesses, working with companies ranging from small retailers to global enterprises such as General Electric, CrossFit, Tesla Motors and many more,” said Marc Sebes, senior product manager for ChannelAdvisor. “With this partnership, we are providing our customers with an easy to use and scalable platform to sell their products online and easily manage inventory across any channel.”
ChannelAdvisor says it now serves as a “hub of multiple webstore platforms,” including Amazon Webstores, Shopify and Yahoo! Stores.
