IDOSELL platform updated its integration with the Cdiscount marketplace platform (OCTOPIA)

IDOSELL, a popular e-commerce platform, has announced an updated integration with the Cdiscount marketplace powered by Octopia technology. Octopia is a scalable SaaS platform developed by Casino Group, owner of Cdiscount.com. It allows sellers to not only benefit from advanced logistics services but also expand their business into new sales channels.

With Octopia, entrepreneurs can easily migrate their offerings to marketplaces in other countries, such as Norway, Finland, Sweden, and Spain. This process is handled through an internal agreement with Cdiscount, significantly simplifying international expansion.

What is Cdiscount and how does it work?

Cdiscount is one of the largest French marketplace platforms, enabling the sale of products by a variety of sellers. The site operates similarly to Amazon or eBay, offering a wide range of products, including electronics, clothing, home goods, cosmetics, and more.

The platform was founded in France and is currently one of the leaders in the e-commerce market in the country. Thanks to its large user base and well-developed logistics infrastructure, Cdiscount is an attractive sales platform for companies looking to expand into the French market.

Sellers can take advantage of Cdiscount's many marketing and logistics tools, including Fulfillment by Cdiscount (FBC) , which allows them to store and ship goods directly from the platform's warehouses. This makes trading on Cdiscount more efficient and convenient for sellers.

What is Octopia?

Octopia is a comprehensive marketplace solution created by Cdiscount that enables sellers and retailers to implement and develop their own sales platforms. Octopia offers ready-made technological, logistical, and operational modules that support companies in building a marketplace tailored to their needs.

The platform provides tools for managing product catalogs, payment systems, logistics, and customer service. By integrating with a network of suppliers and resellers, Octopia helps companies quickly scale their operations in the digital world without having to invest in developing their own technological infrastructure.

One of Octopia's key features is the Fulfillment by Octopia , which allows for the storage, packaging, and shipping of products directly from the platform's fulfillment centers. This solution significantly simplifies sales processes and allows sellers to focus on their sales strategy.

Octopia is a particularly useful tool for companies looking to launch their own marketplace, offering full technological and operational support in one place.
