NEW YORK, Feb. 01, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Channable, a leading global, e-commerce feed management, and PPC automation solution provider for digital marketers, brands, and online retailers announces that it has received over $62M in Series B funding led by Partech with existing investor Peak. This latest round of capital fuels global expansion – especially its newly opened North American headquarters in New York, accelerates the company’s R&D efforts, all while building on the company’s global sales and marketing momentum.
Founded in 2014 by Rob van Nuenen, Stefan Hospes, and Robert Kreuzer, Channable enables e-commerce companies across the globe to effectively sell, advertise, market, and manage their online sales. Since its inception, the company has amassed over 6,000 customers globally, processing more than 55 billion items per day (representing a 91 percent increase year over year) via 2,500 local and global channels across comparison websites, marketplaces, search engines, and social networks.
“We are excited to partner with Rob, Robert, Stefan, and the team at Channable,” says Bruno Crémel, General Partner at Partech. “The shift to multichannel commerce and the convergence of marketing channels and commerce channels creates complexity for merchants. Channable’s powerful, yet easy-to-use solutions allow brands and retailers to efficiently increase their audience and grow revenues. We are proud to be partnering with this team as they grow and expand into new markets – especially in Europe and North America!”
Supporting its expansion efforts, Channable tapped industry veteran Michael O’Neal who oversees the U.S. office in New York. As VP of Business Development, Michael will lead U.S. sales efforts to bolster Channable’s revenues in 2022.
“E-commerce companies are dealing with increasing product and data volumes. Channable continues to develop the necessary solutions enabling these companies to scale and easily handle and grow their business,” says Stefan Bary, Managing Partner at Peak. “With its best-in-class technology, we're excited to further fuel the company’s growth, as its vision has demonstrated a positive impact on today’s digital marketers, brands, and online retailers.”

Channable’s unique solutions include product feed management, PPC ad campaign automation, order, and stock synchronization, and re-pricing products in real-time —making the impossible possible.
“We want to establish Channable as essential for any e-commerce company,” says Rob van Nuenen, Co-Founder and CEO of Channable. “Considering the increased demand in e-commerce it can get complicated without the right toolset. This latest round of funding will help us make e-commerce easier by serving more clients globally, while building on our innovative, ready-to-use technology, and best-in-class support.
