BERLIN, 12 JULY 2022 - Today home24, one of the leading online retailers in the home & living sector, launches its curated marketplace in Germany. More than 100,000 new products from about 100 third-party sellers now complement the existing home24 range of more than 150,000 products - mainly in the categories of accessories, garden equipment, furniture and home textiles. The marketplace is integrated into the home24.de website and thus ensures customers maximum convenience. The range of products is being continuously expanded. In the course of the year, the marketplace offering is to be extended to other European countries.
"With the marketplace, we are broadening our product range and can offer customers an even more valuable shopping experience in complete room worlds," says Marc Appelhoff, CEO of home24. "At the same time, we attach great importance to the reliability, quality and expertise of the marketplace sellers. home24 thus continues to give its customers the service promise they are used to." To date, the online retailer's product range has consisted of a combination of private label and third-party seller products primarily in the small and large furniture segment, the distribution of which was handled by home24 itself. Suppliers on the marketplace, on the other hand, handle logistics, customer service and invoice processing independently. This enables home24 to expand its range significantly in a short space of time without having to build up additional inventories itself. In return, participating sellers gain significantly expanded customer access through the marketplace.
The marketplace was built in collaboration with Mirakl, the leading provider of marketplace software solutions. Today's launch date was preceded by an eight-week test phase to ensure technical implementation and impeccable processing by the external sellers.
