Simply Translate helps Lightspeed customers sell worldwide

Last Thursday was a special day for SEOshop, as well as for us as a partner. SEOshop announced to be acquired by Canadian player LightSpeed, the world’s largest supplier of POS systems. SEOshop will continue under the name Lightspeed eCom from January 2016. From that point on the market consists of the Benelux, Germany, the United Kingdom, Canada and the United States.

What the acquisition means to us

The acquisition by Lightspeed means that Simply Translate will grow along. From January on Simply Translate will offer over 34,000 Lightspeed customers the opportunity to start a multilingual web shop in an easy way.

“From today www.simplytranslate.com is online and active in the countries where Lightspeed is located. We are also pleased to announce that our tool is launching in Germany and the United Kingdom today. Lightspeed eCom customers in the United States and Canada will also be able to become multilingual from January on. A huge opportunity for us to become the leading translation agency in the E-Commerce”, says Jeroen van Benten, CEO of Simply Translate.

SEOshop in the spotlight

“We are extremely thrilled by the acquisition by Lightspeed POS,” says Ruud Stelder, CEO of SEOshop. “Our customers will be able to tap into the possibilities of Lightspeed’s mobile POS and commerce platform and Lightspeed customers will have easy access to our eCommerce platform. This acquisition will enable retailers around the globe to reach out to customers wherever they are, both online and offline.”

Simply Translate joins in on this philosophy by offering web store owners a more easy method to advertise products worldwide. By offering high quality E-Commerce translations we make it possible to turn the world into your customer. The collaboration between Lightspeed eCom and Simply Translate provides an unparalleled complete solution for E-commerce.

Simple connections

In addition to launching in Germany and the United Kingdom, we have released a new version of our tool in the Netherlands. Both the Dutch SEOshop web store owners as the ones from the United Kingdom and Germany can manage all their shops in one account.

The new multishop feature allows the merchants more convenience for the administration of multiple online stores. By the end of this year it will even be possible to migrate hassle-free from a unilingual E-commerce platform to a multilingual and multifunctional platform as SEOshop, soon known as Lightspeed eCom.

We congratulate SEOshop on this amazing step into the bright colored future of (e)Commerce.
