Lightspeed POS has acquired Europe’s fastest growing ecommerce platform – and former TNW Boost startup – SEOShop.
Lightspeed POS is already one of Europe’s most popular point-of-sale platforms, serving 26,000 business and processing over $11 billion dollars in transactions per year. The acquisition of Amsterdam-based SEOShop means the company now serves more than 34,000 businesses in over 100 countries.
Sheer numbers aside, the acquisition will also bring together a robust combination of eCommerce and in-store technology, including tools for inventory management, reporting and analytics, eCommerce design customization and in-store sales experiences.
We first came across SEOShop when it took part in The Next Web’s Boost program (what was then called the ‘TNW Startup Rally’) a number of years ago. We were hugely impressed with the product back then, so we’re delighted to congratulate the team on this acquisition.
