Our take
CommerceIQ is an omnichannel eCommerce management platform that leverages machine learning, analytics and automation to increase user sales. By deriving and aggregating in-depth insights from sales, marketing, and competitor intelligence data, its software then generates recommendations and automates actions to fuel growth.
Having started out primarily on Amazon where it’s now an Advertising Partner - partially due to CEO Guru Hariharan’s previous with the online retail giant - the company has since expanded to cover Instacart, Target and Walmart, and has recorded exponential growth in recent years, with both revenue and customers doubling in 2021. Kellogg’s, Nestle, Colgate and Whirlpool are all customers, a fact which would have contributed to a recent investment boost.
Not long ago, CommerceIQ joined the unicorn club and is investing its 2022 capital into accelerating the development of its unified retail eCommerce management platform. With the worldwide eCommerce growth expected to hit $7.4 trillion by 2025, and the company’s position as an aid for legacy companies rather than a disruptor, further success looks increasingly likely.
