The story

Founded 2017 in Southampton as a multi-channel listing/order/inventory tool for SMB e-commerce sellers on Amazon, eBay, Etsy, Shopify. Evolved from pure listings SaaS into an end-to-end 'global expansion command centre' that bundles VAT registration, EU/UK product compliance (EPR, Responsible Person), 3PL fulfilment and marketplace management. Now positions itself less as software and more as an expert-led services + software subscription for cross-border DTC brands.
