NEW YORK, NY – Digital Capital Advisors, a premier global technology investment bank dedicated to serving innovative technology companies through sell-side and buy-side M&A, is pleased to announce that it has served as exclusive financial advisor to Swogo Ltd. (“Swogo” or the “Company”), an award winning e-commerce bundle technology that helps retailers in over 30 countries drive profitable growth, on its sale to 1WorldSync Inc. (“1WorldSync”), a leading provider of omnichannel product content solutions.

“Digital Capital Advisors is thrilled to have advised Swogo and its shareholders on the successful sale to 1WorldSync. Swogo has developed revolutionary automated cross-sell technology for e-commerce retailers, enabling unprecedented revenue growth for those retailers. We are seeing significant M&A development among e-commerce solution providers and platforms and are looking forward to advising companies in the space on all their future transactional needs,” said Jay MacDonald, CEO and Managing Partner at Digital Capital Advisors.

“There’s a lot to love about Swogo”, said Steve Sivitter, CEO of 1WorldSync, a company backed by global investment firm Battery Ventures. “Firstly, they enable significant upsell and cross-sell revenue to their clients and we look forward to introducing their capabilities to a wider set of retailers and categories. Secondly, they greatly expand 1WorldSync’s footprint in Europe, with offices in the UK and Portugal. This acquisition is yet another milestone in 1WorldSync’s strategy to provide our 14,000+ customers with best-of-breed technology and support via an end-to-end platform for omnichannel commerce”.

Driving profitable growth and building bigger shopping baskets is a priority for all retailers, yet most struggle to effectively bundle products in a way that’s compatible, relevant and personalized. Too often retailers rely on manual suggestions within their legacy systems, or on what their consumers are frequently buying together, while both approaches lead to incompatible and irrelevant matches. By focusing on understanding the retailer’s product range, Swogo’s technology drive immediate results, while eliminating manual work for their teams.

“The Swogo team is thrilled to join forces with 1WorldSync”, said Anthony NG Monica, Founder and CEO of Swogo. “Our bundling technology can provide immediate margin and sales growth benefits to their vast, growing network of retail customers.”
