A Charleston ecommerce agency continues its expansion with another acquisition. eHouse, a commerce agency and Shopify Plus Partner, has acquired VL OMNI, a commerce data integration technology and services group, according to a news release.
eHouse recently acquired Commerce12 to expand its services, including paid media acquisition, retention marketing, conversion optimization, store management, and merchant of record services. With the addition of VL OMNI, eHouse is now positioned to offer midmarket and enterprise merchants the first ecosystem-native full-service commerce solution that includes native iPaaS, ERP, EDI, and marketplace connectors and consulting, the release stated.
Merchants and partners recognize the importance of having one service partner responsible for end-to-end production, implementation, and management of their commerce technology. “Our acquisition of VL OMNI propels us to the forefront of commerce with centralized critical infrastructure connections and a holistic suite of services,” said eHouse CEO Tony Puccetti in the release. “Our goal is to redefine industry norms and deliver unmatched value to clients.”
Managing multiple niche agencies, systems, and platforms can be challenging for many organizations. As Shopify expands its capabilities and attracts more enterprise customers, integrating VL OMNI’s data services strengthens eHouse’s ability to scale and support enterprise-grade infrastructure. Through its proprietary tech-enabled approach and partnerships with key platforms like NetSuite, Microsoft, Bergen Logistics, and others, eHouse is positioned to address the complex technological issues enterprises face, the release stated.
VL OMNI adds innovative data integration knowledge to eHouse’s commerce services. The VL OMNI platform enables seamless bidirectional data flows across various environments, adapting to unique business rules for popular selling channels, including direct-to-consumer websites, Amazon, Best Buy, and Walmart. With VL OMNI, eHouse supports a wide range of technology integrations from legacy EDI/AS 400 merchants to over 60 connectors with popular ERP order and warehouse management systems, with plans for further expansion.
“I’m excited to step into my new role at eHouse and join a larger fast-growing company focused on delivering unparalleled customer experiences,” said Robin H. Smith, former CEO and founder of VL OMNI and newly appointed head of integration solutions at eHouse, in the release. Combining leading-edge commerce data integration services with eHouse’s offerings supports our vision for a comprehensive digital commerce offering.
Commerce merchants need to streamline and connect sales, implementation, and support processes. eHouse’s infrastructure services and end-to-end solutions offer a blend of design and development for system scoping, architecture consultation, marketing services, and commerce management to enable a unique proposition, the release stated.
