Factorymarket
German retail platform that offers a range of products, from cosmetics to electronics, and housewares to car accessories
About Factorymarket
Factorymarket positioned itself as a technology-driven retail enterprise, founded in Berlin, Germany, in 2017. The company's primary objective was to merge online and offline shopping experiences through an integrated omnichannel model. This model was built upon a proprietary software platform that connected a mobile application with a network of physical retail stores.
The business aimed to provide clients with a range of products, including electronic accessories, apparel, and household commodities. Its strategy involved operating and marketing both online marketplaces and brick-and-mortar retail locations. The company had established a headquarters in Berlin and reported having offices in China and Moscow to support its global operations. However, after raising $10 million in venture capital funding, the company ultimately ceased operations, with its status changing to 'Out of Business' as of January 2019.
Financial records indicate that the company, registered as Factory Market Retail GmbH, incurred losses during its operational years. The corporate purpose was officially listed as the "Operation and marketing of online marketplaces (including corresponding software development) as well as retail stores and centers". Despite its initial premise of revolutionizing retail by combining technology with physical stores, the venture was not self-sustaining and eventually closed down.
