Siigo enters the e-commerce market through an exclusive alliance with Astroselling, an industry leader in Latin America
Faced with the economic context of rapid post-COVID digitization, Siigo has partnered with Astroselling to allow hundreds of thousands of its clients to access a leader in e-commerce management throughout Latin America.
August 9, 2021 – Siigo, the market leader in Latin America for accounting and administrative software for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), announced today that it has partnered with Astroselling, creating an exclusive partnership that will provide Siigo’s clients with access to the leading e-commerce management platform in Latin America.
Astroselling allows SMEs to sell and manage their products across all the main e-commerce platforms in Latin America via one simple API, including Mercado Libre, Shopify, WooCommerce, Falabella, Rappi, Linio, Amazon, PrestaShop, among others. Astroselling will be natively integrated with Siigo and immediately accessible to Siigo’s more than 270 thousand clients. Siigo’s partnership with Astroselling affirms Siigo’s mission to continue to provide SMEs throughout Latin America with first-class technology that enables them to maximize their economic success across physical and digital mediums.
“The importance of having an e-commerce presence has become amplified by the COVID pandemic and is a critical tool for economic recovery throughout Latin America. Providing our SMBs with Astroselling’s API will simplify the lives of SMEs that already have an e-commerce presence and will provide a new and easily accessible distribution channel for those who do not. As previously stated in our mission statement, our goal is to ensure that the more than 200,000 SMEs on our platform continue to find economic success in a digitizing world,” stated David Ortíz, CEO of Siigo.
“In order to compete in the world of electronic commerce, SMEs need simple access to the technology that large companies already have access to. With this alliance, together with Siigo, we will bring thousands of entrepreneurs and family businesses the ideal combination of technologies for their digital transformation process. Our simplified, and fully integrated platform will provide Siigo’s customers the necessary tools to successfully develop their online sales and compete in the digital economy,” commented Nicolas Zanoni, Co-Founder of Astroselling.
Siigo continues to focus on improving its technological platform through significant and continuous investments in R&D, as well as strategic alliances like this one.
