In talks with Limango: how structure, speed & support drive marketplace growth
Limango is one of Europe’s leading curated marketplaces for families, combining a carefully selected assortment with a fast, flexible operating model. As the business scales, so does the need for structure—especially when it comes to onboarding and supporting new brands.
We spoke with Sophia Glas, Dennis Schaarschmidt, and Valérie Heimann from Limango’s Marketplace Team. They walked us through what it takes to grow a curated marketplace—from setting brands up for success, to managing operations efficiently, and ultimately scaling without friction. At the heart of it all? Structure, speed, and a strong partnership we’re very proud of.
- Getting brands off to a strong start
For Limango, onboarding isn’t just a technical step—it’s a strategic one. With many brands integrating at the same time, clear processes, shared standards, and consistent support are essential to make sure every seller gets off to a strong start.
What makes the Tradebyte integration process particularly valuable for your team?
“We particularly appreciate the structured and well-organized integration process from Tradebyte merchants. The Brand Readiness phase, the checklists, and especially the ticket system that provides us and the merchant with a dedicated contact person from Tradebyte are of great value to us. This support not only significantly improves the onboarding time but also ensures high data quality, which is crucial for our marketplace operations.” – Dennis Schaarschmidt, Team Coordinator Technical Interface & Project Management Marketplace
A reliable framework like this makes a real difference when managing multiple integrations in parallel—ensuring everything runs to plan and nothing gets lost in the process.
- Running operations efficiently
Once brands are live, the focus shifts to daily operations. Managing complex assortments across multiple sellers demands a setup that’s flexible and efficient—and able to adapt as the marketplace grows.
What’s one feature or solution from Tradebyte that has helped Limango optimise its marketplace operations?
“The high level of automation and the flexibility of the Tradebyte platform have played a major role in optimising our operations. Especially when managing multiple brands and complex assortments, Tradebyte’s solution allows us to scale without sacrificing control or quality. It’s an essential part of how we keep our marketplace agile and efficient.” – Sophia Glas, Senior Manager Technical Interface & Project Management Marketplace
With automation in place and control over data flows, Limango’s team can focus on performance, not firefighting.
- Scaling without friction
The final piece of the puzzle is speed. In a competitive market, time-to-live matters—especially when working with top-tier brands. With the right tools and setup, Limango has been able to reduce onboarding timelines dramatically.
What has been your biggest success using Tradebyte’s solutions and what made it possible?
Valérie Heimann, Team Coordinator Sales Marketplace: “Our biggest success with Tradebyte has been the seamless scaling of our marketplace. Their middleware solution has streamlined onboarding, cutting time-to-market from months to weeks – or even days. This agility has enabled us to integrate top-tier brands effortlessly, expand our assortment rapidly and enhance the overall seller and customer experience. Together, we’ve set new standards for efficiency and growth in the curated marketplace space.”
Limango’s approach to marketplace growth shows that success isn’t just about scale—it’s about building the right processes, empowering partners and creating space for brands to grow.
It’s not just about getting more brands live; it’s about building a model that lets them thrive.
