GCommerce - LogoGCommerce Inc. has announced its acquisition of PBEPRO, a provider of content and commerce support for the paint body & equipment (PBE) and industrial products industries. The acquisition marks the beginning of the GCommerce Data Cloud division and the company’s entry into services related to product content that complements the GCommerce transaction network.

“GCommerce is a transaction company with an insatiable appetite for content,” said Steve Smith, founder and CEO. “Annually, we process over 10 million transactions and all of them are fueled by product content. Our acquisition of PBEPRO enables GCommerce to better enable our customers to increase revenue through the combination of product content, drop-ship/special order solutions and electronic transactions.”

“Manufacturers who list their products with PBEPRO gain visibility on a platform that reaches 25 percent of U.S. distribution. Distributors/retailers currently in the GCommerce network can all benefit from PBEPRO, including national retailers, traditional WDs, specialty distributors and program groups,” said Scott Luckett, vice president, industry strategy for GCommerce. “GCommerce is excited to bring new revenue generating opportunity to the vast distribution network we serve.”
