ESW Case Study

TILE.

About TILE

Tile is an electronics company that develops and designs Bluetooth enabled tracking devices that help their global community of customers track and locate up to 6 million items per day.

The full product range of Tile devices are available across the globe at tile.com, as well as with retailers such as Best Buy, Amazon and Target. Based in San Mateo, California, Tile is backed by Bessemer Venture Partners, GGV Capital and Francisco Ventures, and was recently acquired by app developer Life360.

The Challenge

Tile creates sleek and modern Bluetooth tracking devices, helping users locate the things that matter most. With a global community of customers and growth in the EU market expected, Tile needed to expand their ecommerce DTC operations quickly to over a dozen new international markets within the eurozone.

While Tile already had an online store for certain EU customers, it was powered by a legacy ecommerce platform that was difficult to use, only covered three territories, and would have been difficult to expand profitably. Tile needed a proven ecommerce partner who could help them scale—and fast.

ESW offered an all-in-one solution that provided the tools, operations, and expertise for Tile to expand internationally, efficiently, and profitably.
