“Our Open-SaaS platform and world-class shipping and logistics will empower merchants to build, innovate and grow their businesses online,” stated Brent Bellm, chief executive officer at BigCommerce.
Furthermore, the new partnership will enable Business to Business (B2B) and Business to Consumer (B2C) companies that seek to create or expand their digital storefronts to leverage NewOxatis’ 20 years of expertise for their digitalisation through a scalable, high-functionality platform.
With the “NewOxatis powered by BigCommerce” product, the enterprise partnership provides the publisher of e-commerce solutions, NewOxatis, and his merchants with access to “best-in-breed” technology, preeminent tech, agency partnerships and cross-channel expansion, according to a statement, so they can create a powerful online consumer experience.

The start of the Covid-19 pandemic heralded a noteworthy shift to online shopping that has resulted in a significant boom to e-commerce markets in the Eurozone. Therefore, projections for e-commerce sales in Europe alone are expected to total US$541 billion in 2021.
The French Group offering transport and logistics solutions worldwide is accelerating its digital transformation with more innovative, more secure, end-to-end solutions for its customers, by investing in research and development (R&D), and specifically in the Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence and blockchain.
