Chad Rubin is the Co-Founder and CEO of Skubana, a service that integrates products, fulfillment centers, and sales channels onto a single platform. After seeing a hole in the e-commerce industry, Chad started his own business to fill that space and thus, Skubana was born. Their platform solves the most serious problems of order processing and inventory management that cause millions of dollars in losses for e-commerce sellers every year.

Chad has worked in e-commerce since 2007 and is passionate about helping other vendors avoid the frustrations he experienced. Additionally, he is the Board Member Emeritus for the Prosper Show, a conference for established Amazon sellers.

Inventory management is one of the keys to a successful e-commerce business. Accurate and relevant data keeps products both stocked and moving. While there are solutions for the front and back end of online business, there are far less options for daily operation.

Chad Rubin experienced this problem with his own company and set to work designing his solution. His answer was co-founding Skubana, a platform which seeks to bring together each step of the process into one service. From fulfillment centers to sales channels to the products themselves, all of these are centralized in a single service.

This week on the Ecommerce Wizards Podcast, Chad Rubin, the CEO and Co-Founder of Skubana, talks about what sets his business apart from other inventory management solutions. He explains the origins of the company, how Skubana is utilized, and how they use order bots to remove the thinking out of fulfillment. This is a brief but powerful episode that you won't want to miss.

Brandon Gell is the Co-founder and CEO of Clyde, a technology company that helps retailers—from startup to enterprise—offer product protection plans to customers.

His mission is to provide peace of mind for consumers while also driving revenue for merchants. This vision, along with Brandon's expert business techniques, has helped him grow Clyde from a prototype to a successful brand. So, what is his advice to entrepreneurs looking to take their businesses to the next level?

In this episode of the Ecommerce Wizards Podcast, Guillaume Le Tual interviews Brandon Gell, the CEO and Co-founder of Clyde, about the secret to his successful business growth. Brandon discusses the strategies he used to build his company into a valuable brand, the vision behind his business model, and his experience raising millions of dollars in funding from investors.
