In 2007, Bridge founder Jason Solarek was running a small design agency that managed retailers' websites. When it came to adding products to retail clients’ websites, he found Excel and Dropbox frustrating to use and felt like they weren’t built to share retail products easily. So he and his team coded their own solution that became the foundation of what is now Bridge. Today, Bridge is an e-comme
rce platform where businesses can open an online store, share products and sell products, and connect with their business network.
+ Bridge provides a digital platform for merchants that makes running an online business easier and less costly.
+ More than 800 retailers use it to sell more and save time.

Clients, which include Juliska, Herend, Baccarat, and VIETRI, use the service to output their products in authorized retailers' Bridge Stores. This helps stores boost their online product offering, cut their website maintenance costs, and speed product to market.
