Mirakl Marketplace and HCL Commerce Integration
In the e-commerce industry, it is critical for businesses to offer a wide variety of products & services, provide competitively priced products, and give multiple shipping options.
Mirakl Marketplace Platform empowers any retailer or brand to expedite e-commerce by allowing more products & services from third-parties with its own online marketplace.
More than 50% of e-commerce growth is driven by marketplace growth. The marketplace business model is usually 2-3X more lucrative than the traditional retail model.
Establishing a marketplace is a remarkable possibility for retailers and B2B businesses to quickly expand their product assortment by directly connecting third-party sellers with customers. It is a low-risk way to expand offers without needing to buy, store, and ship products.
The marketplace growth trend is on track to reach nearly 70% by 2022.
