Managing seven ecommerce sites

“We’ve been using [Descartes Sellercloud] since 2017 and still going strong. I’m able to manage all my platforms in one place. I can set things up once and just post from Sellercloud instead of having to navigate seven separate sites. More time efficient. We have seven online stores and are still working on growing.

Increasing our channel presence

“We have seen massive growth since we implemented [Descartes] SellerCloud, and we are able to work more efficiently than ever before. When I say we have seen massive growth, I mean we have seen our sales about double where they were before we implemented SellerCloud. Though there are other factors that have contributed to this, one of the biggest factors has been our ability to increase our channel presence. Moreover, we are able to meet our increased production demands without a substantial increase in our HR overhead.”
