Since the beginning of the year, Galaxus has doubled its product portfolio and visitor numbers, expanded its logistics and added a new product category to its range: household appliances are now also available on the online shop, alongside the existing IT, consumer electronics and telecommunications range.
Five months after its market entry, the young e-commerce company Galaxus draws initial conclusions: despite its silent launch with a BETA version, the Hamburg-based start-up with Swiss roots has been generating a seven-figure monthly turnover since January. Visitor numbers have also rocketed: around 100,000 users currently visit the online shop each week – that’s twice as many as at the beginning of the year.
Expansion of logistics centre in Krefeld
In the coming weeks, Galaxus will focus on growing its product range and gradually expanding its logistics centre in Krefeld. Since its launch, the start-up has doubled the number of logistics employees in order to promote the expansion of the North Rhine-Westphalian logistics hub and to handle the increasing volume of orders that are to be shipped on time.
And there’s no slowing down in sight: Managing Director Hasselmann is convinced that broadening the product range will attract new groups of customers. «We offer new products, inspiring stories and a transnational forum for expert discussions on a daily basis – an added value that will appeal to curious shop visitors.»
