Just before Christmas, ClearCourse, a software and payments business, acquired SellerDeck, a UK based business that enables small and medium sized businesses to sell online. The company will form part of ClearCourse’s Retail Division and expands the latter’s established and growing footprint in the ecommerce space.
Sellerdeck’s solutions align with its clients’ commercial goals, catering to a wide range of businesses seeking to expand their online commerce operations by allowing them to focus on growth. Through its own proprietary SellerdeckDesktop platform and specialist partnerships with Magento and WooCommerce, the company helps businesses to speed up their sales and handle more orders, with thousands of businesses and organisations transacting over £11 billion in revenue.
The company is based in Exeter, with team members throughout the UK and an international team based in Chennai, India. Sellerdeck shares a range of integration opportunities with ClearCourse’s existing software and payments offerings, creating significant extra value for customers.
Both Sellerdeck and ClearCourse’s EKM will benefit from the sharing of ideas, expertise and best practice with both brands serving different market segments. Sellerdeck will also be able to integrate ClearCourse’s own proprietary payments solution ClearAccept to complement its own Sellerdeck Payments, as well as industry-leading address lookup and data validation system Fetchify.
Following the deal, Sellerdeck CEO Josh Barling will continue to lead the company, overseeing Sellerdeck’s operations and benefitting from strategic guidance from ClearCourse.
I’m delighted to be able to announce the acquisition of Sellerdeck. It’s a fantastic company that was one of the first to recognise the importance of e-commerce and I can’t wait to get started working with its superb team. It’s an exciting time for ClearCourse’s Retail Division and our e-commerce offering, which is going from strength to strength. Sellerdeck will bring a great deal of deep expertise to ClearCourse, complementing EKM and developing integrations across the firm. A very warm welcome to Josh and the team.
– Gerry Gualtieri, CEO, ClearCourse
I’m very pleased to share the news that Sellerdeck is joining ClearCourse. At a critical time for our growth, we stand to benefit immensely from working with the group’s warm and highly capable team, with its impressive experience of integrating e-commerce systems. Integration with a diverse set of businesses brings us some promising new opportunities to add value to our customers and give them the best software solutions they need to run successful businesses.
– Josh Barling, CEO, Sellerdeck
