Overview

Salsify provides a platform for brands, retailers and their partners to centralize product and inventory information and power unified commerce experiences, which it calls "experience management" (XM). The company pitches its product as a way to manage the "digital shelf" across multiple channels and to help non-Amazon brands compete more effectively in omnichannel commerce. Salsify reported $110 million in ARR in 2021 and has grown to 1,200 customers (up from 800 in 2020), including Coca-Cola, Libbey, Kraft Heinz, Columbia and Mars. The business says it doubled in size amid COVID-driven acceleration of multichannel commerce. Salsify has expanded internationally through acquisitions (SKUvantage and Alkemics) and now has operations in Portugal and the U.K.; some of the new funding will be used to break into additional markets. Management describes the latest raise as opportunistic, noting the company still had capital from its prior round. Salsify provides brands a single platform (CommerceXM) to manage product information, digital assets, marketplace and retailer listings, and analytics across online and offline channels. The company says COVID-19 accelerated demand for its tools as brands shifted more selling and discovery online. Salsify serves roughly 800 companies, including Coca-Cola, Rubbermaid and Mars, with 225 customers that each generate more than $1 billion in revenue, and reports a 120%+ net revenue retention rate since its last round. The leadership team includes CEO and co-founder Jason Purcell, co-founders Jeremy Redburn (chief data officer) and Rob Gonzalez (CMO). Salsify is based in Boston and opened an international headquarters in Lisbon, Portugal a few years ago. The company plans to use new funding to expand its product stack and accelerate international expansion, and is positioning itself with an eventual IPO in mind.
