Company mission
To make the B2B eCommerce experience simpler and more connected.
Our take
ECommerce platforms such as Shopify have made it easier than ever for businesses to sell to their customers, but business-to-business (B2B) sales are often treated as an afterthought. Business customers contend with mismatched systems or complex purchasing options that can waste effort or even cost sales. SparkLayer offers a solution in a product that enables B2B sales on any Shopify storefront, providing the tools and excellent experience to drive repeat orders.
Founded by experts with more than 20 years combined experience in eCommerce, this solution targets a need that isn't being addressed adequately by competing startups. It is precisely targeted and priced for the needs of small-to-medium businesses who are doing a high volume of wholesale trade, and it is being used by over 800 brands, some of which have provided glowing case studies on the SparkLayer press page. As a product that by design isn't customer facing and integrates unobtrusively with existing storefronts, marketing may prove to be a challenge in its continuing expansion. Time will tell if this company can break through this obstacle and grow into its market niche.

Able to choose how I approach tasks. Not micro-managed. Focus is on results, not on following strictly defined processes. Feel empowered to make improvements directly without being asked.

As part of my induction I was assigned tasks related to all parts of the stack. This helped me build knowledge and confidence to make changes wherever needed. Exposure to a wide selection of technologies means there's always opportunity to learn.
