“We were looking for comprehensive channel management software that would deliver on several fronts – one that would give us an entire online marketplace management solution, and at the same time offer the best customer support, system reliability and value for our investment,” says Mike Stone, eBay Sales Manager of IMS Recycling. “Our previous software simply couldn’t keep up – or match the ease of use and capabilities of the ChannelAdvisor platform.”
Additionally, ChannelAdvisor is offering a new service solution called Managed Activation. Managed Activation offers sellers a turn-key "on-ramp" to migrate to the ChannelAdvisor platform. With Managed Activation, ChannelAdvisor works with the customer to set-up their account and policies, create ad templates and data mapping. Once the account is live ChannelAdvisor provides advanced training to the seller so they can take over their eBay sales immediately. Managed Activation allows customers to concentrate on their core competencies while ChannelAdvisor seamlessly manages their transition to the ChannelAdvisor platform so their business doesn't miss a beat.
“ChannelAdvisor is the only provider geared toward eBay’s largest sellers,” says Scot Wingo, Chief Executive Officer of ChannelAdvisor. “We look forward to working with these new customers and helping them grow their businesses.”
