Our take
Global-e pictures a world where international eCommerce growth is simple and profitable for retailers. To achieve this, the Israel-founded company - now with a footprint in United States, Europe and Asia - offers a platform with solutions to accelerate global, direct-to-consumer cross-border eCommerce.
Global-e is currently working to support the global expansion of brands of all sizes, recently partnering with Pitney Bowes, who will provide its logistics services, strengthening Global-e’s solutions for large organisations.
This, among many other partnerships and acquisitions in recent years, including Flow Commerce for $500M, contributes towards the company’s goal of being the leading end-to-end solution of choice for any size merchant. As an ambitious company, with a reputable history and pedigree, continued growth for both its clients and itself seems inevitable.
