Magento Imagine 2018 Recap

Magento Imagine 2018 Recap

The Magento Imagine 2018 show in Las Vegas was a high-energy event set against the glitz of the Vegas strip and the grandeur that is the Wynn.

Eric Lessard of Mirakl proudly reppin` the 4M program.

McFadyen Digital was excited to partner with Mirakl and Magento to debut the 4M Program at Imagine. 4M is a defined accelerator framework for adding online marketplace functionality to Magento. There’s a lot of buzz in the market around this 3rd party marketplace model as both B2B and B2C ecommerce operators are seeing how the model has brought great success and market penetration to the likes of Amazon, Walmart, Best Buy, and more. For those interested in learning more about how Magento can run your own curated 3rd party marketplace, McFadyen debuted a new Ebook, Marketplaces for Magento: Capitalizing on the Ecommerce Model of the Future. We are also proud to announce a strategic partnership with Kahuna, who’s marketplace engagement and intelligence platform is a true first.

We had a busy, productive time at Imagine and are already looking forward to next year. For now, check out our show highlights:

SHOUT OUT TO THE MAGENTO COMMUNITY

We can’t really talk about the Imagine show without mentioning the palpable sense of community present throughout. From our meetings with partners and site operators, to the educational sessions and keynotes, to the social activities, runs, etc., this is a special community and we’re excited to be introducing a true Enterprise-class marketplace model in order to help everyone grow together.

INTRODUCING 4M: MAGENTO + MCFADYEN + MIRAKL = MARKETPLACE

4Magento + McFadyen + Mirakl = MarketplacesM is both a partnership and an acceleration framework that enables Ecommerce site operators to easily add a curated 3rd-party marketplace to the Magento platform in as little time as 3-4 months.

This feat is accomplished when McFadyen uses their pre-built connector to integrate the Mirakl marketplace platform to a new or existing Magento instance. Mirakl is a cloud-based, enterprise-grade online marketplace platform that enables ecommerce site operators to list curated 3rd party products and categories, alongside their own core inventory items. The site operator benefits are near-immediate as marketplaces enable rapid product and category expansion without the risk of carrying additional inventory or expanding expensive pick-and-pack operations. Like Amazon does with their marketplace, you take a percentage of the sale price on all 3rd party items with no fulfillment duties whatsoever, making for a reliably profitable transaction every time.

With the 4M program, you get the backing of the Magento, McFadyen, and Mirakl teams operating as one and you get reliable path to adding a proven money-making marketplace model to your Ecommerce site.
