About Us

Who We Are

SmartCommerceTM helps CPG companies sell more online by replacing old-school “where to buy” with a single click to send products into retailer carts. Built for the unique needs of CPG brands and their consumers, SmartCommerce intelligently eliminates both the friction and PDP cross-selling that has limited the potential for CPG digital purchases, by enabling simple one-click conversions of one or many products from any digital impulse point, into virtually any retailer cart.

The international SmartCommerce team has decades of experience in CPG eCommerce (it’s our passion), and would love the opportunity to show you what our next-gen eCommerce tools could be doing for your brand!
