SailFish & KFL Consulting: Smart Marketplace Growth with Channable

KFL Consulting partnered with SailFish to optimize their marketplace strategy, leveraging Channable’s marketplace connection to streamline operations, improve product visibility, and drive substantial sales growth. This case study explores the challenges SailFish faced before adopting Channable, the strategies implemented by KFL Consulting, and the impressive results achieved.

Managing marketplaces with complexity

Before integrating Channable, SailFish managed multiple Amazon marketplaces and direct-to-consumer channels separately. This fragmented approach led to:

• Frequent listing errors and inconsistencies across marketplaces.

• Time-consuming manual updates for pricing, categorization, and product information.

• Difficulties in scaling operations efficiently across international markets.
  
  To address these issues, KFL Consulting sought a solution that would centralize product feed management, automate key processes, and improve SEO and PPC performance.
