Orlando, FLA - (October 30, 2007) Channel Intelligence (CI) announced today it will leverage Shopping.com, a leading online comparison shopping site, to integrate retailer data throughout the U.S., U.K., France, Germany and Australia. By working together, CI expects to provide more options for consumers seeking to buy products online or find products in stock offline whether they are shopping on a manufacturer’s Web site or a Shopping.com e-commerce destination Web site.
“Consumers across Europe and around the world increasingly turn to the Internet to find where they can buy products,” said Rob Wight, president and CEO of Channel Intelligence. “CI is leveraging its market leadership position and is working with Shopping.com to bring the same capabilities now widely available in the U.S. to several countries around the world where retailers and manufacturers can benefit from providing product information and where-to-buy data that’s accurate and up to date to those consumers who are searching online.”
“Teaming up with Channel Intelligence helps further our mission to help consumers everywhere easily find, compare and buy anything online in less time and for the best value,” said Josh Silverman, CEO for Shopping.com. “We look forward to continuing to develop this sales channel through our work with Channel Intelligence.”
As a result of the integration, manufacturers and retailers working with Shopping.com or Channel Intelligence are expected to benefit from the ability to offer a greater number of options for shoppers turning to the Internet to find where-to-buy information, both online and offline, in the U.S., U.K., France, Germany and Australia.
