Our take
With the increased migration to the digital world, sales teams are under mounting pressure. Proton.ai is one of a crop of new companies that solves this problem through automation.
The sales automation market is booming, and companies are having to specialize in order to survive. Proton.ai has carved out a successful niche by focusing its attention on wholesale distributors, a previously underserved corner of the sales sector. Proton.ai's tools help sales reps and their customers manage products across multiple channels.
By tapping into the lucrative wholesale market and working with (rather than against) incumbent enterprises, Proton.ai has scaled at an enviable pace. Its considerable funding will help the company to remain competitive, especially against the likes of Shopify, which has made a successful move into the wholesale eCommerce market.
