The Challenge

Since 2007, the InterCultural Elements team have been helping retailers to expand internationally via marketplaces.

Despite this expertise, InterCultural Elements were often caught between online retailers' messy, erroneous product data and the ever-changing, complex requirements set by international marketplaces. Like many agencies, regularly facing the task of bringing order to chaos in this product data is only the beginning of an expansion project.

Helping sellers expand into new markets requires a lot of internal expertise which, if not saved somewhere in the form of processes and templates, can make it hard to scale as an agency grows.

eCommeleon was born to solve all of these problems and more.

The Solution

The software today known as eCommeleon started life as a series of internal tools at InterCultural Elements.

eCommeleon was built to handle the data complexities when working between sellers' in all major categories, and marketplaces, each with their own, ever-changing requirements.

The InterCultural Elements team worked with eCommeleon from the very beginning, helping to grow it from a series of complex Excel sheets to the pioneering marketplace technology you see today.

The eCommeleon technology is used to help agencies like InterCultural Elements:

  • Handle large amounts of product data from various sources, quickly and efficiently
  • Localise and translate listings for international sales
  • Collaborate with clients on the creation of new listings
  • Find and assign the most appropriate marketplace categories on marketplaces
  • Create new marketplace listings based specifically on the requirements of each channel
  • Onboard new team members quicker than ever
