Channel Intelligence, a provider of web-initiated commerce solutions, and Infopia, a provider of eCommerce platform technology, have formed a strategic alliance that will expand online selling capabilities for merchants.
Through this alliance, Channel Intelligence (CI) retailer customers will be able to expand sales to major online market places, such as eBay, while Infopia customers will gain access to additional comparison shopping engines (CSEs). The offering combines CI's proprietary data feed optimization and Infopia's marketplace connectivity to accelerate web sales for both companies' customers.
This integration will be part of CI's SellCast retailer solutions, a suite of products that drive multi-channel sales originating online. The integration is expected to be completed and commercially available in early 2008.
Bjorn Espenes, CEO of Infopia, said: "Teaming up with CI creates a natural extension for us, providing a powerful eBay integration platform for their top-tier retail customers while enabling our customer base to expand and enhance their CSE exposure."
