Chandler, AZ (June 28, 2017)—atmosol, a leading ecommerce solutions provider, announced that it has been acquired by Jouanno, LLC. The new owner, Thomas Jouanno, who serves as president of Jouanno, LLC, is a native of France, and brings his experience in digital and product marketing to atmosol from some of France’s most innovative technology companies.
Vishal Wadher, who cofounded the company in 2005, will remain as the company’s CEO as atmosol focuses on an aggressive growth strategy that will include expansion opportunities in the United States, and into Europe and eventually to other countries where ecommerce is starting to gain momentum. The acquisition infuses new investment dollars to expand the company’s ecommerce consulting services, research and development, and marketing efforts. The company also plans to hire additional employees to support its growing enterprise retailer customer base and further leverage its ability to innovate ecommerce technologies.
“The acquisition allows us to continue to realize our original vision when we started the company over 12 years ago to lead the ecommerce industry as a customer-service-oriented solutions provider that helps clients build effective and easy-to-maintain ecommerce storefronts,” said Vishal Wadher, CEO of atmosol. “We have built strong, win-win relationships with our clients and partners over the years, and this acquisition only further fortifies those. We are excited to usher atmosol into this next evolution of growth. Jouanno LLC brings to atmosol a fresh infusion of capital that will allow our employees to be even more creative in providing our clients with the most innovative and effective ecommerce solutions in the industry.”
In searching for a promising U.S. company to acquire and grow, Jouanno LLC recognized atmosol’s ecommerce pioneering history, established client base, and strong partnerships as key to its future growth potential. In addition, the company’s location in an area of the country, known as the “Silicon Desert,” where technology company clusters are rapidly developing, fed by a large talent pool and reasonable cost of living, created further appeal for Jouanno LLC, that views atmosol as having the multiple advantages necessary for a successful U.S. business venture. The company’s leading position in the U.S. ecommerce industry is further boosted by its strategic partnerships with ecommerce platforms such as Magento, BigCommerce, and Shopify; atmosol’s customer base, includes such household names as Samsonite, Tupperware and Red Bull, representing a few of the company’s longtime clients.
“We did extensive due diligence before acquiring atmosol and found their reputation for innovation and service to be overwhelmingly positive. The combination of atmosol’s ecommerce development and unbeatable marketing expertise delivers a unique value proposition that we didn’t find in any other company” said Thomas Jouanno, president. “Vishal and his team have built an exceptional organization with an excellent reputation. With this acquisition, we are able to extend the solid foundation that has already been set in motion over the last 12 years. We are in a good position to expand the range of products and expertise that will continue to serve our customers’ needs, and not only keep pace with the rapid demands of the ecommerce industry, but also lead with the innovation and forward-thinking that our customers deserve.”
Known for creating proprietary tools and strategies to help increase traffic and conversions for its e-tailer client base, atmosol will also use the new investment to enhance its digital marketing and ecommerce consulting and development offerings. Expanded consulting services will include B2B ecommerce, customized software solutions and digital marketing services. There are also plans to increase investment in atmosol’s marketing outreach, and in the coming months, the company will announce atmosol’s “V2” strategy, which will include corporate rebranding, digital lead-generation campaigns, and an increased social media and blogging presence. atmosol’s staff of seasoned ecommerce experts will be encouraged to share information and publish tips to help budding businesses build their online presence.
“Over the past two years, atmosol has become a pivotal BigCommerce partner – one that we turn to when clients need effective ecommerce design and strategies rooted in data and customer experience. Consequently, we are thrilled that with this acquisition, atmosol now has an opportunity to accelerate its business growth, and in turn, we eagerly anticipate the positive impact it will have on BigCommerce customers,” said Dan Fertig, global director, design & solution partner program at BigCommerce.
