Palo Alto, April 18th, 2018. Bluestone, a tech start-up from 2016 providing state-of-the-art product information management (PIM) solutions, mergers with WebOn, a leading Nordic IT company providing solutions for PIM, e-commerce and omnichannel management. The combined company will offer a unique SaaS platform with features for sharing, collaborating on, and managing product information through APIs and microservices. This part of the software industry is experiencing significant growth, due to the need for manufacturers, brands, resellers, and retailers to transform their business models.
The merger of Bluestone and WebOn is a natural next step for both companies. Bluestone, a successful start-up experiencing high interest from an international market, was looking for an implementation partner to boost its global ambition. WebOn, a successful e-commerce vendor on the Nordic tech scene and with experience in implementing digital commerce solutions, was simultaneously looking for a software partner with global reach. Together, operating as Bluestone, they will offer the Bluestone Digital Commerce Platform, which is already recognized for its scalability, reliability, and API connectivity.
Our ambition is to become a fast-growing global PIM software company within the API economy. We look forward to joining forces and strengthening our offering to a much broader market.
