Scott Berg

customer of improvement first David, on discussed questions see have just sales the I guys could productivity that comment all conference. two wanted you you here, if further I quick the at to

or info saw you a by it US the in making same to on also more to digital the that in productivity places to helpful. call. made line wanted be Wanted about versus understand areas of the it making growth company if versus we then marketing a of the productivity talked in investments You maybe international, that was year because this saw first the any investments you’re that would you just that improvement dissect the number and was product a you sales market or improvement, number there, your quarter are

David Spitz

I a think were improvement or in sales geographic broad is in from sales in productivity general based productivity, perspective. general

and continues we’re what I force. program the in improvement is attainment of obviously in Forte see the a broad so run, beginning is results probably think based indirectly last Also productivity. started the think Paul just to rev somewhat to of our benefiting putting that place I productivity across sales year array broader

we’ve that more can of would had, is is sales numbers, I their program which reps in array and Paul’s say historically as concentrated a of significantly broader productivity. you So the part seeing imagine of payments we’re helping rapid results

But of starting in those improvements. to lead come that to there’s a all and say So programs deliver went so to forth. good obviously terms so are would together allocation and of I how that lot on and in

say, Your that continue I second to around one, we two would R&D. clearly was and on, is areas question focus investments,

of customers, the pace We of continue things of think to and stuff were that investing there’s product. it’s machine investing build can and where would things shipping on to to for strategically like upmarket a as we make invest make Repricer, that the post-sale Madrid move that side like the with we we software global we’re in sure customers what important development the example, really experience we doing, invest just with think also continue us. I in do, things the the large all to lot continue I year Algorithmic enterprise services, given those the still our sign continue brands a also we’re industry, the we pretty have in office we learning, on intention to to in opened last say, positive we to large continue an to team, drop appropriately to filming want

Scott Berg

be guess higher comments just retention revenue retention I you’ve of it Then to place a there. wanted that enterprise my to of perspective, of rate your some or talked in those from course would keep of is around been I on keep customers that and the churn follow-up in just services know initiatives something you’re the to that question customers initiatives at historically that --. and some if focused smaller about. there on more some the But relation maybe don’t was that’s the in something you putting

David Spitz

both. on touches it think I

to their more over at looking need I is team with to company to management we then and they think bit so really you have sure those a get account have had focus threshold. and them of things customers evaluating customers earlier year customer than risk customers' this of capabilities, profile renewals on adoptional our That’s us proactively past that view everything expect any growth kinds to actually do, the we historically sort the part of the it. benefit make haven’t doing renewal a historically little created smaller that of smaller working in

really is part succeed. of I focusing customers our helping too think on it other the

on activity revenue moving net retention. we’re churn from our dollar being the of metrics to that retention, primary post-sale net our So, we revenue internal metric measure

positive would on focus a that long effect on revenue would expect So retention. customer we performance have our term stronger

sure to that sure it is adopting So, are adopting strategies small recommend, lot a capabilities, a the for that for the all fulfillment. sure real adopting large, platform, that a making that or they offer on with because example, whether around that of are platform capabilities are of customers they example, we making the have making we

could you having, on just we managing, think also think and like would and new just important has enough to of measure I happy pipeline pipeline, so I trying pipeline we focus sales land on sure And the for the how terms a make managing post-sales, I if good them. renew that drive obviously services of a with business in gotten side help say customer customers is more at to really they are more holistic expand us. team will, So versus

David Spitz

jurisdictions as We obviously don’t XX,XXX clear much sellers, substantial think ultimately for I sales complexity in is know you some particular does have too US. probably commentary that there on tax are it the issue. overturned, online new It’s create something like different distinct

sales gain that the software help historically other short-term, tax such it as that. to how sit, there exactly share manage from disruption don’t out as possible think that. to in complexity, have the has of long of creates it’s some think term sellers in out I some But ecommerce market trend short-term have the from that I figure where I manage can it with platforms to to are not our software offered there capabilities wallet. continuing sales We all

to term would issue it I is there So potential relatively that longer for a from that lived would short any disruption expect I decision for a ecommerce. be versus expect if

Tom Forte

Our of line Pfau next question of comes from William the Blair. Matt

Your open. line is now

Matt Pfau

to think addition getting been Where the you’ve this on perhaps and customer and had in additions first customer of hit value churning terms do some so wanted terms net we to system? consistent back customers in the customer of Just that of additions have nice you the your on lower increase are quarter.

David Spitz

add, let This at and to he’ll take is in well. I’ll it Mark have anything David, a stab jump as

to customer grow revenue last the several our grow it’s of have per sustainably and company have about customer to base, no we’re going think think a evidenced the years. We there rotating larger towards the the of by that and do smaller customer job we’ve customers a as done number to average consistently that platform. doubt view growth our good I I on is over the base still our customer

cohort. If contribution analyst and size nice you breaking both may or customer Mark recall account job day customer our and presentation, seen revenue out various you’ve if did from a of

in that a volatile, So that that going account be not not could quarter necessarily might number given area. in any in dip I’m still promise customer see to we

in think my theme health. initiatives I mentioned one on and is now that was this smaller Scott the response customers that that focused of I to

of side. the measure positive impact a be, expect that smaller retention think even a they I that will obviously would have success would on at their I

consistent more it’s here be or start there two see but So we I still, a quarter time in a to could be and negative. customer anticipate account, could where it over volatile that there do will

Mark Cook

of so we’re Scott, I suggested this of market deliver of from we’ll referral accounts see and David’s do [lowering], programs probably volatility we it is customers like well long important. I we quarter-to-quarter that some result they’ve increasing especially mentioned it think that again will mean quality be improving customer as around the feel the and the that be I that Mark. to that at the end the continue haul higher will as correct,

Matt Pfau

and to to ask more just one long view. Got get wanted it. term And places, market on David your

for at you Do accounted that a a see you you places few as collectively top for all market and (inaudible) grouping see market those this sort maybe these now break on are perhaps the your on GMV less of the to in XXX business big do long market places prices. have diverse out platform. the or a can largest these or of market more tails or tail then So, have with group type the you third your just potential some have you long the them of , – and that

line question the next of KeyBanc. comes Our Garg of Monika from

is now line open. Your

Monika Garg

some first Beyond Macy’s, Bath two David, use so Bed customers, ones Kohl's, other why and them commercial customers, retailer talked are also like providers? maybe would & those drop-ship a to some talk XX drop-ship of about need you you could about

David Spitz

work that Sure Monika, of some are and not our flows companies like previous a (inaudible) we use requiring recall may that other of necessarily my some for to example, the through retailer you commentaries provisioning offer. will platform,

on supplier focused needs. really We’re the

for networks strong any ability of connect therefore TrueCommerce EDI a and manage by any we and space example, number or willingness are offered, this a systems we number in systems to providers. entrant to ourselves to have in and there other need across suppliers multiple multiple to So who sell as need drop-ship of new interactions including see the so (inaudible) or

open as this more our and philosophy after see we been expanding as little an bit a market. our approach So of done that’s we’ve solution

Monika Garg

how then And are like you per fee? the thinking pricing, it is subscription about is order basis, it

David Spitz

bit doing to market. who of tiers with business model because of year understand little are same that the it that sellers supplies better the for we’ve traditional after kind point, market the bringing ChannelAdvisor of our many this of have over Historically have been a percentage existing we last place the the place we over ChannelAdvisor. just more market subscription of GMV have being We’re to dwellers also flexible needs at adopted

We’re operate common customers for per that to expect also happy want order we’ll that be I aware very practice and are way, fees accommodate fairly the industry, them. are who to within that

and entrant view sort this are to new of bring needs but flexible fresh sure we’re space. very that we everybody’s be to again we’re to that technology also this in in is this So our the better meeting space make space, economics going and

Monika Garg

when of drop-ship kind some contribution product? expect revenue you this from And [negative] do

David Spitz

to target and you’re generating a to We probably Well trying the you, it growing material. we’re from us say I continue year have becomes asking when for you by it for just timeframe retailer the already do to I see revenue is business this achieve. as have we’re internal it, I expect grow. that can would a network don’t it

Monika Garg

as year-over-year on XXX And I’m million Mark much down asking benefiting a could about lower expenses QX. and is could And yearly basis. for marketing X.X expense how share then even you about, sales you ASC talk

you impact to XXX what is trying that? just So in understand do of the

Mark Cook

related section recline a in equity earnings X.X And time. quarter first from we make a basically the will that million there you you the (inaudible) a balance and give amortization to be to that it (inaudible), adjustment for we the should out the about predominantly that that one-time can’t [fill] sheet on $X.X relating is over million was number. There an of the period sheet perspective balance for expense

So X.X QX. million again for

Monika Garg

I should number, X.X for the year. million the for like just close so QX that to annualize it’s So X.X

Mark Cook

million gave of something X it’s top at like I range X I so of, the we it’s can’t a for somewhere that million Monika, year, to think full in the my recall head that ballpark.

Monika Garg

QX almost And The XXX,XXX was question, by of you then another X.X the revenue revenue variable that. million. beat

So flowing revenue flattish QX of that then like way only QX, because why what more and and not quarter-over-quarter, was are seeing is the in was (inaudible) we the rest to beat XXX,XXX.

Mark Cook

I as difficult variable continues revenue QX that beyond think to predict. in we’ve earlier said revenue strong had very be variable we and today growth, call that the to

variable paradigm we’re again are assuming on we revenue. to not So so new adding that speak

reason for of that’s QX. our think for I So balance basis the the

Monika Garg

due is or GMV Then Algorithm that QX. commented you David can Amazon’s What to, in growing the fastest this is faster change would you color maybe Amazon some you in by or it attribute share?

David Spitz

hard the been and number don’t to capabilities it’s half. believe optimization exactly a over the that last see of the we’ve to platform I internally. of a It’s pinpoint always bringing year the that adoption to data because Amazon’s year we driver

they’re customers’ and of recently on optimization, demand of to So things help inventory. inventory out top stocking film right rolled Algorithmic forecasting the velocity sure we stay and make better Repricing for amount

think in numbers If of Algorithmic So to the, use customers me, look the for of those who more efficiently, Repricer think use we I difference, we I the these that our higher and and GMV do help things versus are example, don’t, that’s help don’t have growth. repricer. if customers contributing customer’s substantially between the our at all that growth right more rates but those for front compete effectively at look I it

marketing are customers area our equal. support Amazon on in being Another again who for clear another than AMS that thing is this where data saw the platform, else our significantly don’t, that helping services those who more is leverage Amazon a all lot
