Ambientia Group Ltd and Shero Commerce (US), which specializes in the design and delivery of eCommerce platforms, are taking their cooperation to the next level. The goal for both companies is to provide their customers with a more comprehensive service offering in the future while achieving growth through joint efforts in both the European and American markets. To facilitate closer cooperation, Ambientia has now acquired one-fifth of Shero Commerce. Both companies will continue operations under their own brand and business name.
The US-based Shero Commerce is a technology agency specializing in the digital commerce. The company specializes in solutions based on the rapidly growing Magento and BigCommerce platforms. Shero Commerce markets tailored eCommerce solutions from design to delivery and digital marketing, partnering with Adobe and Amazon, among others.
Ambientia and Shero Commerce have previously collaborated on a per-project basis. Changing the ownership base of Shero Commerce was deemed necessary as a foundation for genuine, long-term cooperation.
The strategic cooperation will help accelerate Ambientia’s globalization and further strengthens the company’s expertise as an expert in eCommerce design, development, and project delivery.
“The acquisition will strengthen our entry into the American market. The strategic partnership between Shero Commerce and Ambientia will also reposition us in the Finnish market in a new way,” says Johan Sandell, Ambientia’s CEO.
“Thanks to Ambientia’s expertise and insight, we can now offer our customers much more than we could on our own. The cooperation is an opportunity for us to serve our customers with a wider range of services and skills by adding, for example, AI applications into our portfolio. Moreover, Ambientia is larger organization than we are, so we will benefit from their input in management and strategic planning,” says Gentian Shero, CEO and Founder of Shero Commerce.
Johan Sandell and Gentian Shero emphasize the importance of their shared vision of their market environment and similar corporate values and culture in driving their cooperation.
“Shero and Ambientia both put employees in the center of our corporate culture. Our employees are the ones who create the customer experience, which again is what makes us a viable business. Both companies employ experts who respect each other and understand what it takes to succeed in business,” says Sandell.
Founded in 2010, Shero Commerce employs 36 people with 2019 net sales of $ 1.9 million. The company operates from several different locations. Ambientia’s net sales in 2019 was € 20.2 million and it has a staff of 200. Ambientia has offices in Helsinki, Tampere, Hämeenlinna, Turku, Joensuu and Tallinn.
