Meet the company: TymeOnline

Recent events have led to a rush by many retailers to expand their online presence and TymeOnline have been inundated with retailers eager to fast track their marketplace businesses. This success has come from years of experience of both building multi-million pound online businesses and working with retailers to accelerate their online success.

We spoke to Ian Moore, managing director at TymeOnline to find out more and how they can help you grow your retail business on marketplaces:

Who are the people at TymeOnline?

Ian, Ivan & Tim cofounded the TymeOnline business. Ian began selling on eBay back in 1999 and participated in building a successful multi-million pound business selling online and formed a view that online sales would continue to grow and eventually outperform traditional distribution routes for businesses.

Ivan & Tim both have extensive experience in a B2B technology environment as well as successfully growing a start-up business to in excess of £2 million annual revenues.

The collaboration of the 3 individuals with complimentary experience and skills had the potential for major success.

Why did you create TymeOnline?

The idea was born out of conversations with a number of local business owners. They were successfully distributing their products via traditional channels but did not have the relevant skills to exploit the growth in online sales. A number of business owners we talked to had tried to move their sales online but had failed due to a lack of understanding the complexities and also no real ability to maximise the direct to consumer opportunity. A service that would facilitate all aspects of online selling was of enormous interest to the business leaders we talked to.

What do TymeOnline do?

Ultimately, we successfully grow businesses online. We specialise in providing a fully managed service for marketplaces where we:

• Create accounts
• Build branded stores
• Manage integrations
• Optimise data
• Product listing
• Promotional / marketing work

We work closely with our customers on business strategy by analysing data, spotting opportunities and by providing training on the best practice guidelines to ensure good ranking on their account. The ranking is vital to successful selling via online platforms.

Which platforms do you help retailers sell on?

We work closely with key marketplaces such as eBay, Amazon, OnBuy, Etsy & notonthehighstreet along with EU platforms such as Allegro and CDiscount to name a few. We understand the importance of having the correct systems in place to handle multi-channel commerce and partner with Volo, Linnworks and Parcelhub to ensure our customers have the full infrastructure needed to sell online successfully.

We are at the forefront of marketplace selling and always keep a close eye on the market and new opportunities for our customers.
