Our take
The rise of e-commerce over the last decade has been massive. Driven primarily by an increase in the use of mobile devices, the global e-commerce market grew by almost $3 billion between 2015 and 2020 and is expected to reach well over $7 billion by 2025. Despite this, brick-and-mortar stores continue to be the dominant sales area for most brands. A large part of this is down to consumer desire for the 'in-store experience', where interaction with staff and products is more genuine. So what if this experience could be transplanted into the eCommerce sphere?
This is what Whisbi has set out to achieve. Combining a traditional marketplace model with live consumer engagement, Whisbi has major disruptive potential. In a nutshell, it helps brands maximise website value and convert more web visitors into customers by engaging & guiding them at every step of the customer journey.
Founded in 2008, Whisbi has had the big advantage of being an early player in this market. Its model has proven highly successful - Whisbi works with some of the biggest brands around, such as Samsung, Sky and Hyundai. As the eCommerce sector continues to grow, this strong base will be a major advantage going forwards.
