How did Lightspeed eCom come into being?

In 2015, the dynamic Canadian company, Lightspeed POS, announced that they had acquired Dutch e-commerce software company SEOshop. A fantastic development that allowed Lightspeed to launch their new e-commerce platform - Lightspeed eCom.

For CEO Dax Dasilva, this acquisition was a giant step forward in Lightspeed's evolution. The company wanted to help independent retailers build their brand by offering them a POS (The Point Of Sale, in a store, is the location where the purchase transaction takes place) with the same advanced back office tools used by the big players in retail, packaged in an intuitive mobile format. In an industry that was rapidly digitizing, there was a huge demand from online sellers. With the acquisition of SEOshop, Lightspeed was able to expand their reach globally and help smart retailers create a great shopping experience and offer their products smartly - all from a single iPad.

From then on, Lightspeed set foot in Amsterdam and began their journey to conquer the European market. With their boundless passion for technology and customer service, they remain committed to their mission of helping entrepreneurs grow and prosper in an ever-changing retail landscape.

Lightspeed eCom

CEO and co-founder of SEOshop, Ruud Stelder, said Lightspeed planned to integrate SEOshop's software into their own e-commerce platform and cloud-based POS solution. This would allow multi-channel retailers to manage all their tools from one central location. Thus Lightspeed Omnichannel was born, with both online and offline POS. By seamlessly integrating these two experiences, customers got the best of both worlds.
