Softline UK fully integrated fulfilment

Amazon & Marketplaces

Amazon and other online marketplaces such as eBay and OnBuy have done a superb job at creating simple-to-use online retail environments: Listing is a straightforward process and, within minutes, your product is online and available to buy. Unfortunately, without consistent care and marketplace expertise, real sales can fall someway short of sales forecasts. Softline can analyse your approach to these markets and help create and manage strategies to gain and maintain volume sales whilst keeping a constant eye on promotional opportunities and the activities of your competitors.
