Speaking on the acquisition, Aneesh Reddy, CEO and Co-founder, Capillary Technologies, commented, “Omni-channel retail should be about $1 trillion market in Asia by 2018. We are an Asia-focused Omni-channel Engagement and Commerce Platform company bellwether committed to solve the present and future problems (opportunities) for retailers and brands. Our aim is to help our clients increase online revenue channels alongside the offline business growth we currently help with. A year ago we had a bunch of products in consumer engagement space. We acquired MartJack to help brands to go omni-channel. We have done better than expected in this possibility with multimillion $ revenue addition in a year’s time.
Flipkarts and Amazons continue to grow and they are an integral part of online sales strategy for our customers. Of late we realized to complete the puzzle, an omni-channel order and marketplace management product is much needed. We weighed different options to build v/s buy. To go full steam in the burgeoning market, “time to market” is key and we wanted to launch this product as quickly as we can. On other hand, we evaluated Sellerworx product and met the team who has tremendous knowledge in this space. Finally, we have decided to acquire Sellerworx!” he added.
