Following the successful implementation of its Mirakl-powered marketplace in Brazil, Leroy Merlin puts its trust in Mirakl to launch its European marketplace.
Paris, 17 December 2020 – As leading home improvement brand Leroy Merlin steps up its omnichannel strategy, the company has chosen to develop its marketplace in collaboration with Mirakl, the global marketplace solutions leader. This marketplace will enable Leroy Merlin to increase the range of home improvement products on offer to its customers. The new marketplace, built on a rigorous selection of products from third-party sellers, strengthens Leroy Merlin’s position in e-commerce in France, where www.leroymerlin.fr is ranked in the top 5 most visited e-commerce sites in France.
This new European strategy follows the successful launch of the Leroy Merlin marketplace in Brazil. Mirakl, selected for its expertise, proven technology and the performance of its platform, supported Leroy Merlin to implement the deployment of its Brazilian marketplace in only 5 months. The uninterrupted growth of this marketplace, in terms of product references, categories and turnover, confirms the value of the marketplace model for the DIY sector.
“The marketplace model will allow us to go well beyond the 60,000 references that we offer on average in stores. By expanding our offer and improving the shopping experience, our objective is to strengthen and consolidate our position as the leading home improvement website”, comments Olivier Corbin, Back Office Director of Leroy Merlin’s omnichannel operation.
For Mirakl, a long-time partner of Leroy Merlin, this success of the Leroy Merlin marketplace confirms the potential of the marketplace model in this sector, and demonstrates how to bring a new approach to a company with an existing e-commerce strategy that is leading in the sector.
“The launch and implementation of Leroy Merlin’s Mirakl-powered marketplace in Europe is a continuation of the success of their Mirakl-powered marketplace in Brazil, which confirmed how relevant this model is for the DIY sector. The entire Mirakl team is mobilised to bring our technology, expertise and ecosystem to this important project”, said Philippe Corrot, Co-founder and CEO of Mirakl.
