We help brands expand into new marketplaces effortlessly

FROM THE FOUNDER

Marketplace Expansion in Minutes, Instead of Months.

The world’s first Distribution-as-a-Service platform to partner with brands for marketplace onboarding, operations, and growth.

The market wants the products. But growth dies before a single order, buried under the execution of onboarding & operations.

Omnichannel expansion should not be this complicated.

Because onboarding varies by marketplace. Different rules, approvals, tech, and operational requirements.

Every Marketplace Plays by Its Own Rules

Each marketplace has its own SLAs, approvals, and technical requirements that change by category and brand, making expansion inconsistent and hard to repeat.

Brands End Up Doing All the Heavy Lifting

Onboarding and operations require human judgment before software can help, forcing brands to interpret rules, select categories, and manage execution themselves.

One Small Error Can Shut Everything Down

A single mistake can delay approvals for months or trigger suspensions after launch, wiping out progress and turning marketplace expansion into a slow, risky, and expensive process.

When growth depends on manual execution, it doesn’t scale.

Growth Is Achieved When The Execution Is Owned By a Partner.

Tools don’t solve this. Ownership does.

Most solutions stop at setup.They move data, but don’t take responsibility for whether a brand actually succeeds.

Without ownership, execution falls back on the brand. What’s missing is a partner that owns outcomes, not just activity

Expansion requires ownership of execution, not more tools to manage.

Solving for the future of commerce: Distribution-as-a-Service (DaaS)

Finally, a new type of platform designed to solve onboarding, operations, and growth execution at scale.

eDots is an AI-powered app that acts as a true marketplace partner.

  • Not software brands must configure.
  • Not a tool they must manage.

A partner that owns onboarding, operations, and growth across marketplaces.

Even a few new orders per day across many marketplaces quickly compound into meaningful incremental revenue.

Brands don’t need one massive channel. They need many working channels.

One application. All marketplaces. No complexity.

From Install to Launch in Minutes. It gets better with practice.

A simple setup for any brand. Easy enough for most CEOs.

HOW IT WORKS

  • Install the eDots Shopify app to sync with new and existing marketplaces.
  • Answer a few guided questions to set direction and preferences.
  • Choose which products and marketplaces to launch on.
  • eDots onboards, publishes, and manages everything else automatically.

WHY IT WORKS

  • Marketplace rules and edge cases are learned once and reused across brands.
  • Operational decisions improve over time as more launches are executed.
  • Automation increases accuracy while reducing launch time and errors.
  • Each new marketplace and brand strengthens the system for the next.
Expansion gets faster, cheaper, and more reliable with each new brand.

Why Now Is the Right Time to Fix Omnichannel Distribution.

A perfect storm is forcing a new solution.

Marketplaces have exploded

Brands now face dozens of sales channels, each with different rules, approvals, and operational demands.

Manual execution no longer scales

Rising ad costs, tighter compliance, and higher customer expectations have made people-heavy approaches too slow and too expensive.

Brands are being pushed outward

Growth increasingly requires expansion beyond a brand’s own website and into marketplaces.

AI changes what’s possible

For the first time, marketplace decisions, onboarding logic, and operational execution can be encoded, learned, and scaled.

The moment for a Distribution-as-a-Service platform has arrived.

Founded By a Team of Operators Who’ve Done This Work Before.

Decades of Omnichannel experience, not theory.
