Powerful commerce experience platform enables forward thinking brands to create commerce experiences without limits

Amplience, the leading commerce experience platform, announced that it has raised $100 million in Series D funding with an equity investment from Farview Equity Partners, a European growth equity investor, and growth financing from Sixth Street, a leading global investment firm. Existing investor Octopus Ventures also contributed to the capital raise.

This round, which brings total investments in Amplience to $180 million, will be used for continued expansion in the US and globally, and to support development and roll-out of ‘Dynamic Commerce Experience’. This is on the back of 60 percent plus, year-on-year revenue growth in content management revenues.

There is a growing performance chasm between digital leaders who have invested heavily to build their own customer-centric commerce experience infrastructure, and companies still relying on legacy content management and ecommerce systems. Amplience helps its customers to bridge this gap and accelerate their implementation of a modern commerce experience, through using best-of-breed MACH and composable capabilities without sacrificing either business usability or developer productivity.

“When it comes to digital experience, there is a direct correlation between employee satisfaction and great customer outcomes. Our research tells us that 85% of organisations believe that empowering employees leads to greater customer satisfaction, however only 40% of surveyed companies have taken action. It is essential that organizations who aspire to be digital-leaders adopt technology and tools that empower developers and business users. It is the route to revolutionising customer experiences and boosting brand loyalty,” commented Marci Maddox, Research Director for IDC’s Digital Experience Management Software program.

Guy Sochovsky, Partner and Co-founder of Farview Equity Partners, who recently joined the Amplience board of directors, said: “Farview focuses on investing in growth-oriented enterprise technology companies in Europe. Amplience’s mission to reimagine the commerce experience technology stack and user experience using a MACH approach aligns completely with our determination to invest in companies that are disrupting incumbent vendors and re-making the market.”
