In the USA, we've got Amazon, but in Asia, there are dozens of platforms that matter. Most e-commerce sellers have to manually add and maintain products and prices manually across dozens of platforms, but normally they only have time to do one or two. When they list on more markets, they make more money, and Branch8 has actually gone and made it simple for them to do it.
The founders found out about the problem because they were sellers on these marketplaces themselves. Now they're in the YC S15 batch.
Hi folks, I am one of the Branch8's co-founder. We started off as a seller selling across multiple marketplaces in Asia and eventually hit an operational bottle neck with 3 marketplaces. Branch8 was created to solve this pain point. We enable sellers to scale to many marketplaces without increasing effort.
Happy to answer any questions or email me at jackie@branch8.com
@_jacka you great solution to what is a massive pain for many marketplace sellers. It is also very clear where your consumers are and can be found. We are building something similar but just for our designers on @crowdyhouse. Will you also be looking to aggregate customer service from the various marketplaces? That could be killer!
@mark_studholme We haven't look into aggregating customer service yet because many customer service can be done with the seller's email inbox (hopefully they are already aggregated). As we expand our feature set, we will definitely consolidate it.
