Uppler.com features 35,000 products from 2000 suppliers.

Retailers have another global e-marketplace where they can do their shopping. Uppler.com has launched with 35,000 products from more than 2,000 suppliers, a spokesman says.

The e-marketplace, which launched late last year, currently offers only fashion apparel from suppliers from 110 countries, but is planning to also soon feature products from seven other categories: beauty products, home décor, sports/outdoor, consumer electronics, toys/kids/babies, health, and food-and-beverage, the spokesman adds.

Uppler, which lists 30,000 retailers registered as buyers, is reporting sales over its first several months at an average monthly gross merchandise value of $400,000. Although it doesn’t report its own revenue, the company is profitable and has not received any funds from outside investors, the spokesman says. “Our growth rate is 10% per week,” the spokesman says.

Uppler earns its revenue in fees charged to the suppliers that offer products for sale on its site to retailers. Fees range from $29 per month to $299 per month, depending on such criteria as the number of products listed in a supplier’s Uppler.com showroom and the number of product inquiries per day from retailers. Uppler charges no fees to buyers.

Uppler was founded by its three senior executives: CEO Tal Levy, managing director Grégoire Chauvin and chief technology officer Emilien Bouard. It’s based in Tel Aviv, Israel, and also operates out of Paris.
