A retailer located in Africa can source product in Asia, and sell seamlessly to Europe and North America – this signifies a huge step toward truly global e-commerce.”Over the past 12 years, Webgistix has built a substantial customer base that spans five continents and over 20 countries as well as a strategic network of company-operated fulfilment centers.
