SellersCommerce launches new eCommerce products for retailers

SellersCommerce, the Illinois-based leading SaaS eCommerce platform, has launched two major products that will support the company’s new product journey. The company revealed its decision to pivot towards a 360-degree B2B headless eCommerce platform by 2023, is well on its way to becoming reality.

Over the past couple of years, the industry has witnessed a progressive increase in the adoption of Production Information Management systems to streamline online sales and automate hundreds of manual processes to speed up overall operations. However, adopting and implementing a full-scale PIM can put small businesses under sheer financial duress. Therefore, to level the playing ground and bring PIM within everyone’s reach, SellersCommerce launched Catalog Manager targeted at retailers.

It sources the product information from 130+ manufacturers, scrubs data automatically, and pushes it to eCommerce stores of subscribing retailers. All retailers have to do is subscribe for catalogue updates to their choice of suppliers. It automatically receives the latest product information to feature on their online stores. This spares them the hassles and costs of maintaining an in-house catalogue team to clean, messy supplier catalogues to make them eCommerce friendly.

On the other hand, LineSheets Pro supports SellersCommerce’s vision to be a headless eCommerce platform. It is an industry-agnostic solution. It is aimed at empowering sales reps to attain faster closures.

It’s an easy-to-use digital line sheet-making software with a host of design tools. The tools allows users to create stunning line sheets and lookbooks on the fly without zero design skills. One can drag & drop products, choose a design template and fill in the latest product info to create a line sheet ready in minutes. It can be shared with prospects as PDFs or web links and start collecting orders and payments thus boosting sales.

LineSheets Pro also syncs with eCommerce and inventory, helping businesses track and monitor every single conversion.
