Austin Rose:
Hey everyone. Thanks for joining. This is Austin with Inventory Source and Flxpoint coming at you with another episode of The Modern Merchant Podcast. Today’s going to be a great one. We’re going to do another episode on an industry roundup of a specific market and niche that we see with a lot of our customers and people out there selling really, one of the biggest markets out there, and that is furniture and home decor.
Austin Rose:
What we’ve done is we’ve actually brought on one of our supplier partners with us, HomeRoots. I believe they’re actually now our number one subscription and integration with Inventory Source. And we have a whole bunch of sellers selling their products. And I have Gil here, he is the president of operations and logistics over at HomeRoots. Hey Gil, how’s it going? Thanks for joining.
Gil Bar-Lev:
Hey. Hey, Austin. Thank you for having me here today. I’m really excited to join you guys.
Austin Rose:
Yeah. Yeah, absolutely. We’re super pumped about this. I’m just going to be talking about the industry, getting a lot of insights on what you’ve seen and your experience obviously, being in that market and obviously with us and the E-commerce realm. And to get us started, why don’t you just give us a quick little overview about you and HomeRoots, and then we’ll get into some of the topics.
