BOSTON and CHICAGO, Sept. 26, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Mirakl, the leading global marketplace solutions provider, and Gorilla Group, a global commerce experience agency, today announced a strategic partnership to offer a comprehensive eCommerce marketplace go-to-market service. The combined solution, designed to help B2B and B2C clients build and grow a successful online marketplace, offers marketplace strategy, implementation, launch and post go-live services.
Sales through online marketplaces now account for more than half of global online sales, and this strategic partnership is perfectly timed for companies looking to seize the opportunity to launch an online marketplace and become a platform business. It follows Gorilla’s recent acquisition by Wunderman Thompson and Mirakl’s $70 million Series C funding round, announced this year.
Gorilla specializes in implementing B2B and B2C commerce solutions that delight customers with complete digital strategy, development, creative, and managed services. Its deep customer experience design and integration expertise helps large enterprises navigate and solve complex pain points to better engage customers, drive new revenue and stave off competition.
Gorilla’s forward-thinking approach has earned the agency an SAP Pinnacle Award, recognition as a Leader in the Forrester Wave: Commerce Specialists Service Providers, Q4 2018, and inclusion in Magento’s Global Elite Solution Partner Program, as well as accolades from Adobe, Salesforce and more for its outstanding work.
“Mirakl is focused on a single goal: enabling B2B and B2C organizations to lead in the platform economy. We believe the companies that build ecosystems of partners to offer more value to their customers will ultimately win in the digital era,” said Adrien Nussenbaum, co-founder and CEO of Mirakl. “By joining forces with Gorilla, the leading eCommerce systems integration agency, we can help every kind of organization—from large retailers, distributors and manufacturers to small boutique etailers—leverage an eCommerce marketplace to grow their business and deepen their connections with customers.”
Mirakl delivers the most comprehensive eCommerce marketplace platform and ecosystem solution on the market.
