Revolutionising online merchandising and product discovery.

Michael Mokhberi, CEO and co-founder of Apptus, commented: “We are incredibly pleased with the outcome of this transaction. By combining the features of Voyado and Apptus, retailers will be able to apply automated product understanding and merchandising to better guide, advise and inspire shoppers across the entire customer journey – from the browsing session to follow-up marketing and loyalty communications. GP Bullhound has been an instrumental partner in making this transaction happen.”

Carl Wessberg, Partner at GP Bullhound, commented: “We are thrilled to have advised Apptus and its shareholders during this process. Apptus and Voyado are an excellent fit from a strategic and commercial perspective, and we are excited to see what the future holds for the group.”
