About Us

Our Mission

We're obsessed with building better eCommerce experiences.

We began in 2004 as a simple website, selling furniture.

Since then, we've grown and adapted. Today, everything that we do seeks to accomplish one goal - offering a better eCommerce and logistics experience to our partners.

Our partners benefit from the lessons we've learned and the efficiencies we've built. We're an extension of their team, providing access to the tools and services they need to compete and win. Cymax Group represents a simple solution that combines data, technology, and expert teams.

We continue to invest in technology and services that support growth, offering a critical competitive advantage to our partners in a complex ecosystem.

  • Our products include Freight Club, an all-in-one shipping platform, and Channel Gate, an AI-powered multichannel platform.
  • Our exclusive boutique marketplaces include Homesquare.com and Cymax.com.

We are transforming eCommerce by democratizing the technology and services that drive success for our clients from design to delivery.

Our Story

The beginning

We launched as a simple website, selling media furniture. We've changed a lot over the years, but one thing has stayed the same - a problem-solving attitude that has fueled our innovation for almost 20 years!

Vendor portal

By 2008, we were eager to create a more efficient process. We launched Vendor Portal, a place where vendors could easily process orders and cancellations.

170 microsites

Before Google updated its algorithm, online marketing relied on having categorically relevant domains. We developed a portfolio of 170 diverse microsites which led to growth and expansion into new markets, even during the recession.

Amazon marketplace

It did not take long for us to see the potential in Amazon’s new Marketplace program. In 2010, we were onboarded as early adopters and began seeing results almost immediately.

Walmart marketplace

In 2012, we integrated with Walmart’s marketplace. This began our journey to being known as a top rated 3P seller.

Freight Club launch

2015 was a big year. We leveraged over a decade’s worth of shipping and logistics knowledge to create Freight Club, an all-in-one shipping platform. Freight Club simplifies the shipping process by managing everything in one platform with zero subscription fees.

$25M USD Raised

We raised $25M USD, the biggest in company history, led by Frind Holdings, BDC Ventures and Salman Partners. We became more and more focused on transforming the eCommerce and logistics experiences by keeping our feet firmly planted in technology and innovation.

Homesquare launch

In 2016, we launched Homesquare, one of our two exclusive boutique marketplaces. Today, our partners benefit from additional revenue opportunities offered by Homesquare and Cymax Business.

Muzeboard launch

In 2017, we introduced Muzeboard, a tool that would elevate our tech stack and help our partners stand out amongst competition. Muzeboards allow for simple creation of new sets and bundles from existing SKUs, increasing average order value by up to 25%.

Channel Gate launch

In 2018, we launched Channel Gate, our AI-powered multichannel platform. With almost two decades of eCommerce experience and data, we were able to create and leverage proprietary, scalable technology, enabling our partners to reach new levels of success. Channel Gate relies on over a decade of consumer data and machine learning.

Rizwan Somji appointed CEO

In January 2019, Rizwan Somji was appointed CEO. Riz was named one of seven EY Entrepreneur of the Year® 2021 Pacific award winners which recognizes entrepreneurs leading companies whose unbounded innovation, growth, and prosperity is transforming lives. This did not come as a surprise to anyone that has had the opportunity to work with Riz as his relentless determination continues to guide Cymax Group forward.

Cymax Group Technologies Ltd.

We changed our corporate name to Cymax Group Technologies Ltd to better reflect our ambitious vision for the future of eCommerce.

Cymax Group named a part of Team True North

We were named a part of Team True North, a ranking that spotlights high-performing tech firms tracking to $1 billion in annual revenue with growth rates that match the top one per cent of companies in the world.

Freight Club a winner of Deloitte’s Technology Fast 50™ program

Freight Club ranked #32 for its rapid revenue growth, entrepreneurial spirit, and bold innovation in Deloitte’s Technology Fast 50™ program.

Remote-Flexible

As we continued to grow, so did our teams. We were hiring for dozens of roles, onboarding experts from all around the world. With this growth, we made it official – Cymax Group Technologies is a remote-flexible workplace. Our employees get to work the way they are most comfortable working.
