“We believe that online businesses are the opportunity for small and medium businesses to start selling online,” said Franc Vidal, Co-Founder and CEO of Shopery, via El Referente.
More than 112,000 small businesses in Spain do not sell online. The figures skyrocket if it is Europe and Latin America. The situation is the result of three factors: the lack of knowledge of computer management, maintenance time and budget constraints.
Therefore, with the aim of helping small and medium enterprises, Shopery Barcelona has launched SaaS (Software as a Service) as a solution to the creation and management of electronic stores.
Having a wider offer, a marketplace attracts high traffic generating more sales and allowing its client to monetize through commissions on sales, and through monthly quotas to the sellers of the marketplace.
The company is responsible for making it easy to “reduce time, budget and the knowledge required for small businesses, adapting to their digital development,” according to Vidal.
Shopery offers a “turnkey” solution to create a marketplace in a matter of minutes. The company assembles the online platform and is responsible for its maintenance. Daily management and marketing is in the hands of the client. Therefore, the initial investment is very low compared to other companies.
Electronic businesses can sign up for Shopery and start using the software for their stores. The firm is currently working to get public, business associations, as well as value-added partners to help attract more business.
In order to expand Shopery and continue with the development of the product, it has closed a round of financing of €1.2 million. Investors such as Antai Ventura Builder and K Fund stand out.
Shopery is a company in Barcelona that wanted to democratize the world of e-commerce, so that any person or small business that wants to sell online, can do so.
Therefore, it has created an easy to use tool with which, without having any prior knowledge, users can create their own online store in a country.
