"We simply love Avangate and are a big fan of their digital commerce platform. Everything has been so much easier since we switched to Avangate, starting with various types of implementations, which now take minutes instead of days with our previous provider. Managing subscriptions, upgrading and updating: everything is much more customer-friendly, both for our support staff as well as for our clients. We also appreciate the marketing tools available out-of-the box, such as promotions, and the multitude of payment methods that allow us to sell effortlessly in more than 50 countries globally. And we're just getting started," said Matthias Hänni, CFO at SwissMadeMarketing.
"I estimate we are 3 times faster in terms of preparing our go-to-market campaigns and have tripled our operational efficiency since we began working with Avangate. We're very happy with our decision to switch, especially as we look at our future plans and see how the platform's subscription management capabilities will help further increase our retention rates and ultimately our revenue," added Hänni.

"We're excited to work with SwissMadeMarketing and help them improve not only internal efficiencies, but also customer-facing activities. Subscription management, global payment processing and support for go-to-market activities are all key areas for our client.
