Wishabi is working hard on a new and disruptive next-generation online shopping system for the Canadian consumers. We are currently in closed beta but are rapidly moving towards our January launch. If you’d like to learn more and participate in our beta please email us at beta@wishabi.ca.

This blog will keep you up to date on our official company news, and we’ll also be discussing our views on the changing landscape of e-commerce in Canada, cross-border shopping, traditional retailing and consumer packaged goods.

Some of the questions we’ll try to answer in this blog:

• How do we make e-commerce work better in Canada?
• How do we simplify the complexities in cross-border online shopping?
• Do informed shoppers make better customers?
• Is online shopping completely price oriented, or does service come into play?

Are you interested in these questions? We hope you subscribe and join in the conversation.
