Introduction
The challenge
Based in Farmingdale, New Jersey, M&P Export has been serving customers around the world since 1917. The company’s mission is to solve consumer problems through unique, best-in-class products.
With capabilities that include product development, branding, marketing, e-commerce, wholesale, distribution, and warehousing, M&P Export creates excellent buying experiences.
“We started to look at e-commerce and found it challenging to make the shift,” said Maria Livolsi, Vice President of Operations and Business Development.
“We did lots of research and started figuring out how to break into e-commerce and what tools we needed to do that. We ultimately started to sell items through our existing website. It cost us hundreds of thousands of dollars, and we realized minimal gains in terms of efficiency and productivity.”
The solution
After an exhaustive search, Maria found Sellercloud. She ultimately chose Sellercloud because of the unique capabilities and services that she couldn’t find elsewhere.
“We searched high and low until we found Sellercloud,” said Livolsi. “The integration process for Sellercloud’s products (Shipbridge, Receivebridge, and Quickbridge) went smoothly. She handled the integration herself while having access to help notes to walk her through the process.”
According to Maria, the integration was fantastic. She selected Sellercloud because it was the only provider that could easily manage all of their 1P, 3P, and EDI channels. In addition to an excellent built-in shipping system for those channels, Sellercloud had the integration capability that they needed.
“The way the Sellercloud team billed us was completely fair and unlike the other providers,” said Maria. “They didn’t come in and charge us thousands of dollars to develop an integration solution for our channels. They already had the solution built. We only had to pay fees based on the number of transactions we had.”
“They are very responsive to our needs. They’ve even done some custom development for us.”
The results
“Sellercloud has really helped us with an affordable way to expand to multiple e-commerce channels,” Kerianne Squitire, Operations Manager and Project Manager for Bootstrap Brands said.
Squitire spoke about how easy it was to get the company’s portfolio products from brands like Elf Logic, Bullseye Ofice, and Happy Wax, on marketplaces like Amazon, Walmart.com, eBay, and Faire, to name a few.
Within a year, the company was able to add another hundred unique SKUs to its product line and further expand its e-commerce operations.
“Thanks to Sellercloud, we can do things that we couldn’t do before, and, whenever we want to do more, Sellercloud is right there with a solution.”
