Background:

ChannelEngine was founded in 2013 to simplify how brands and retailers sell across the ever-expanding online landscape. Traditional retail systems were not built for today's multi-channel, cross-border commerce. ChannelEngine bridges that gap - connecting ERPs, PIMs, and ecommerce systems to 1300+ marketplaces, social commerce platforms, and emerging AI commerce assistants.

Today, ChannelEngine powers commerce for thousands of brands and retailers worldwide. The platform automates listings, pricing, stock synchronization, and order management across every connected channel, helping businesses eliminate multichannel chaos with no custom code, no manual work, and no overselling.

Problems we solve:

ChannelEngine addresses the biggest blockers to profitable multichannel growth:

• Operational overload from manual listing management, inventory updates, and order processing
• Integration complexity requiring custom development and ongoing maintenance
• Scaling limitations that make channel expansion take months instead of weeks
• Brand inconsistency causing pricing errors, stockouts, and fragmented product information
• Margin erosion from the lack of dynamic pricing and promotional control
• Data fragmentation with no centralized visibility into performance across marketplaces
  
  

Core features:

• Multichannel integration: Connect to and manage listings across 1300+ global channels.
  
  
• System connectivity: Native integration with ERPs (SAP, Microsoft Dynamics, NetSuite), PIMs (Akeneo, Salsify), Ecommerce systems (Shopify, Adobe Commerce), WMS systems, and fulfillment providers for direct data flows.
  
  
• Real-time automation: Instant synchronization of inventory, pricing, orders, and product data.
  
  
• AI-Powered Catalog Management: Automatically map and optimize product data across channels with intelligent categorization and attribute matching.
  
  
• Dynamic Pricing & Bundling: Protect margins with channel-specific pricing strategies, product bundling, and promotional control that wins the Buy Box.
  
  
• Catering to 1P & 3P Selling: Purpose-built for both 1P (Vendor Hub) and 3P (Seller Hub) models, enabling brands and retailers to manage vendor and marketplace operations within one unified platform.

AI Commerce & "Agentic Commerce"

ChannelEngine views Agentic Commerce as the next evolution — not a revolution — in online selling.

While others focus on "AI feeds" or "data readiness", ChannelEngine already runs the entire commerce flow from product data to transaction and fulfillment. That’s why our customers are already prepared for AI commerce today.

ChannelEngine connects brands and retailers to over 1300 global marketplaces, social commerce platforms, and AI-driven commerce channels through a single platform. The company automates critical marketplace operations, such as product listings, dynamic pricing, inventory management, and order processing, while integrating directly with existing back-end systems.

By combining extensive channel coverage with automated workflows and real-time synchronization, ChannelEngine enables businesses to manage multichannel complexity, accelerate international expansion, and maintain complete control as they grow.

Trusted by leading global brands including Samsung, Unilever, Clarks, and LG Electronics, ChannelEngine operates worldwide with offices in Leiden (Netherlands), New York, Toronto, Berlin, Paris, Dubai, and Singapore.
