“With the Covid-19 crisis, e-commerce has experienced a real boom around the world in the same manner as marketplaces which now represent 40 per cent of online sales. Marketplaces offer an enormous potential in terms of consumer audience and give extremely fast access to international markets, all while limiting the investments and risks linked to opening multiple distribution channels. However, the absence of norms and the management of multiple interfaces is a real impediment in developing omnichannel strategies for brands or distributors. This is where Neteven takes action, by removing that complexity and simplifying distribution via marketplaces,” Greg Zemor, CEO and co-founder of Neteven, said in a press release.

According to Lectra, Neteven is the perfect complement to the other solutions recently acquired by the company, Kubix Link (product lifecycle management and product information management – PLM, PIM) and Retviews (competitive intelligence and trend analysis). The combination of the three offers will enable Lectra to provide an even more comprehensive response to its fashion customers’ needs.
