RangeMe is an online product discovery, sourcing, and purchasing platform that enables retailers and their buying teams with streamlined submissions, simplified discovery tools, and the industry standard digital sell sheet. For product suppliers, RangeMe enables them to grow their retail relationships with a platform that gives them the tools to manage their products, market their brand, and build awareness.
They are very strong in European enterprise hosting solutions. Less so with US-based organisations, as they have no footprint in North America. They are a popular solution for organisations wanting to host their digital assets in Ireland as they are much easier to deal with than their main competitors. They do not seem to suffer from cultural identity in the same way that some US-based competitors do.
In my experience, not one lead in 5 years but the same retailers advertised on RangeMe are the ones I've supplied by talking to them directly. In my opinion, they offer nothing other than charges.
Interxion's staff in Ireland are top class, customer-centric, friendly and knowledgeable.
Interxion pays a lot of attention to keeping their customers happy by engaging socially with them at their own marketing events and other industry events. INEX and Interxion shared a Christmas Party last year as many of our members and their customers overlap.
I am not aware of any shortcomings. I am sure that I would be aware if INEX operations staff were experiencing any problems. Similarly, I have only heard good things about them from our members, though there will always be some that think that they should be paying less for hosting services.
I've gone direct to retailers. Much cheaper and you build the relationship from the ground up. In my opinion, RangeMe is an aggressive sales platform and they're the only ones to benefit by essentially promising lots and delivering incredibly little.
Difficult to say. Our presence in 3 Interxion data centres is mainly driven by our members wanting to host their digital assets in those locations. However, as a not-for-profit association, INEX is pleased that they treat us very favorably with regard to charges, in recognition of the fact that having our presence in their facilities draws new customers for them.
