What nChannel does

nChannel is a cloud-based SaaS integration platform founded in 2011 and headquartered in Columbus, Ohio. The company sits between endpoint systems and coordinates communication between eCommerce platforms (Shopify, Shopify Plus, Magento, BigCommerce, eBay), ERP/accounting systems (NetSuite, Microsoft Dynamics GP/NAV/365, Sage 100), POS systems (Lightspeed, NCR Counterpoint, Microsoft Dynamics RMS, iQmetrix, RMH POS), and 3PL/fulfillment providers (ShipStation, Fulfillment by Amazon, Newgistics) using native software interfaces and open APIs or SFTP flat-file transfers. The proprietary nChannel Sync Manager provides a lightweight client-side communications layer, and the integration framework stores business rules in un-compiled text files for end-user modification. The core platform is supplemented by solution modules covering inventory synchronization, multichannel order management, supply chain management, drop ship, vendor managed inventory, accounting integration, returns management, and multichannel listing.\n\nnChannel generates revenue through monthly SaaS subscriptions (with no per-item, order-volume, or revenue-percentage pricing) plus professional services for non-standard mappings, customizations, and consulting. Go-to-market is primarily partner-led through an ecosystem of technology solution providers, agencies, and VARs (Magento Web Agencies, Shopify Agencies, NetSuite Partners), supplemented by consultative direct sales for mid-market and enterprise customers via quote-based pricing. The platform targets B2C and B2B merchants with omnichannel operations and has a published customer base spanning mid-market and enterprise retailers (Thermacell, AAA Washington, theBalm Cosmetics, Goedeker's, Granite Gear, Premier Yarns, EasyCare) plus smaller SMB accounts. The company is privately held, employs 11-50 people, and has raised approximately $7.3M in disclosed equity funding across multiple rounds through 2018, with active partner badges across Shopify Plus, Microsoft, NetSuite SuiteCloud, BigCommerce, Lightspeed, ShipStation, and eBay.
