Be Part of the CloudCart Journey, Invest in the Pre-Series A round

In the memoirs of humanity, only the visionaries leave their mark.

History remembers the innovators who did not settle for mediocre results and all those who struggled to materialize their vision of the future, no matter the circumstances.

CloudCart's founders are just such visionaries - two brothers who set out to revolutionize the way e-commerce is done. Actually, Nikolay Iliev and Peter Iliev, and the dedicated team behind them, have already proven that their already realized dream with the name "CloudCart" is more than a vision for the future.

The platform is a proven product with a dominant market share in Bulgaria, accelerating the development of merchants of all caliber - from startups to global brands. In addition to our home country, our powerful platform has already been localized and developed in other markets, but we'll tell you about CloudCart's technological advantages later in the article.

Let's first take a closer look at some of the elements that will accelerate CloudCart's growth in the upcoming years.

Get into the presale before everyone else

Now, let's share a little background.

A vision for the future based on experience

We've shared about CloudCart's past successes many times, but what's relevant to prospective investors is the experience of our team and the platform's founders.

To date, Nikki and Pepi Iliev have over 20 years of entrepreneurial experience. They also have three successfully sold businesses behind them. And much of their previous experience is specifically in e-commerce.

Understanding first-hand the needs of merchants is one of the main catalysts for CloudCart's success.

In addition to their expertise, the experience of our management team, as well as each team member, contributes to our ability to successfully keep tracking the pulse of the e-commerce industry.

This in-depth knowledge of the eCommerce industry and its needs has led us to focus on two main areas:

1) Creating a solid technological foundation for our merchants through constant platform optimization, AI integration, innovation, and much more.

2) Building human capital (our Growth Ecosystem) easily accessible to our customers.

Our Recipe For Successful Scaling: Technology Superiority Combined With Our Growth Ecosystem

The synergistic combination of our Growth Ecosystem and all the digital tools (such as CloudCart Analytics, Marketing Suite, CloudIO AI, and all the other apps and integrations) is what we call eCommerce-as-a-service.

We selected eCommerce-as-a-service because our company strategy is based on the synergy principle, according to which when our clients succeed, we prosper.

We are sometimes asked - why did we chose to broaden the focus of the company and offer a full suite of services needed to grow an online business (some are available through our team, the rest through our Growth Ecosystem).

We decided to adopt the eCommerce-as-a-service approach because unfortunately, when it comes to eCommerce, things are not that simple, the pitfalls stopping the progress of merchants are many.

To address this situation, we've created much more than a platform for building online stores. We also gave our customers the ability to leverage a specially curated and trained ecosystem of ecommerce partners.

Now every business can benefit from the services of experts in design, marketing, programming, legal services, video processing, freight forwarding, shipping, and many more areas.

The good news are that all of these partner services are localized to every market we enter.

But for eCommerce-as-a-service to work well, the technology foundation must be optimized to perfection. This is why we invest so much in the development of the platform and keep looking for new ways to improve CloudCart.

The truth is that what yesterday seemed like the technological "future" is already happening in the present and behind the success of our merchants lies an "invisible" engine powering their successes. We're referring to all the technological leaps we've made so far or will make very soon.

Let's take a look at the technology core powering CloudCart's progress

We'd need a whole series of articles to describe all the significant technologies building the core of CloudCart and empowering our merchants' progress.

Still, let's take a look at the most relevant areas that we are working on or are already part of the platform so that everyone who wants to invest in us is familiar with them.

Also, check a few photos from the announcement event:

Technologies, Analytical Tools, and Machine Learning

We use a combination of high-tech solutions and machine learning to ensure the progress of our merchants.

BigQuery

We use BigQuery as our main data storage solution. This platform allows us to quickly analyze massive volumes of data in real-time, provide insights to our merchants, and help them make data-driven decisions.

CloudCart ML Engine

Our platform leverages the power of Cloud ML Engine, which allows us to build, train, and deploy machine learning models at scale. Using this tool, we can offer personalized experiences and the ability to analyze and predict, allowing us to optimize our merchants' sales strategies.

AutoML

With Google's AutoML, we can efficiently develop machine learning models tailored to our merchants' needs without requiring special expertise in machine learning. It automates a variety of tasks, ensuring that our solutions are both advanced and optimized.

Typesense

As a vector database, Typesense helps deliver ultra-fast and relevant results when using the search engine. This ensures that our merchants' customers will be able to find what they want quickly, and this leads to further increased sales.

Open AI

We also use OpenAI's products, allowing us deeper

understanding and improved presentation of our data. This enhances our ability to personalize the platform and enables product recommendations, ensuring online shoppers receive personalized suggestions that drive more sales for our merchants.

Platform activities and processes optimization

We prioritize a seamless and reliable user experience, and to that end, our activities are focused on proactive monitoring, enhanced security, and complete platform visibility. We use the full suite of Grafana Labs to optimize relevant areas.

CloudCart scalability

At CloudCart, our infrastructure is designed with future scalability in mind, ensuring that we can adapt and grow with the pace of increasing demands. To enable even tenfold growth, we chose to harness Kubernetes Clusters and MongoDB Instances & Cloud SQL - two technologies known for their scalability.

Future development plans

Clearly, we are seriously committed to the mission of staying at the forefront of e-commerce innovation, and the way to do this is by ensuring that our merchants have access to the best and globally available tools.  

One of the big steps that is coming very soon is the...

Headless Commerce

This is one of those technology "leaps" forward that our team is working on right now. There are two main areas of development - Headless Commerce with VueStorefront and Public APIs with Headless Commerce Storefront.

Through these technologies, we will ensure that our global user base gets reliable and fast access to our platform, even when traffic increases significantly. We are also enabling developers and dev studios to create custom integrations for our merchants, apps, and new features using CloudCart's robust back-end.

The goal is to offer our users more options and flexibility without compromising the integrity of our platform and its security.

What is Headless Commerce?

The architecture of headless commerce separates the back-end and front ends, and this allows for the creation of enhanced online platforms. This technology in the eCommerce field allows flexibility by allowing merchants to manage content in their stores without having to make changes to the back-end.

The separation between back-end and front-end provides flexibility in the architecture, allowing solutions to be created according to the client's specific needs.  

At CloudCart the epitome of innovation is CloudIO - an AI assistant, powered by OpenAI

Over the past year, we've been excited to dive even deeper into the world of AI with the launch of the revamped CloudIO AI - a personal e-commerce assistant available to any CloudCart merchant and powered by OpenAI.

CloudIO aims to revolutionize the way merchants manage and optimize their online stores. Whether it's automating routine tasks, gaining insights based on massive amounts of data, or personalizing the in-store customer experience - CloudIO will be there to optimize, advise, and help.

By integrating OpenAI's state-of-the-art technologies, we ensure our merchants have a premium AI assistant at their fingertips.

A new target market - the next big step

We have identified new opportunities that will allow us to enter one of the best markets globally - Germany. We've already started building a local team, but we'll provide details in a separate article.

In addition to technological development, we have also planned to enter one of the largest markets worldwide - Germany.
