Our combined decades of experience have positioned us to develop and deliver cutting-edge, data-driven strategies capitalizing on machine learning capabilities to protect brands and reduce disruptive online marketplaces.
Ordian was born in a New Zealand dorm room. Our founder, Adam Brown, wanted to help sell liquidated products, so he created a simple “Deals of the Day” website. Before he knew it, he was handling several brands, earning their trust and expanding the site’s services into repair/refurbishment, managing marketplace sales, and product distribution.
Eventually, the company was required to sell a specific product at Minimum Advertised Price (MAP). We quickly found ourselves disrupted by third-party sellers. Using our combined expertise, we created a platform that gave insight into the sources of products being used to disrupt brands’ presence in the market.
We call this system Ordian. The trust we’ve built over the years is what drives our growth and increasing ability to help brands in the secondary market.
Ordian started out as a marketplace intelligence tool for Protempo, an authorized 3P Amazon, refurb, and clearance partner for tier 1 consumer electronics brands. We were experiencing the same disruption you’re experiencing now, and we realized cutting off the supply chain of unauthorized sellers was the only true long-term solution.
Based on Ordian’s success in protecting our own authorized 3P business, we refined our approach through AI and machine learning tools and recruited a team of gray market and data experts to scale and relaunch our system as a software service for global brands. That meant more brands could be empowered by using relevant data and solutions to cut off the flow of product to unauthorized sellers.
Our team helps global consumer electronics brands like Google, Apple, Beats, Lenovo, Jabra, and Otterbox solve their gray market and inventory challenges. Our results are quite rare in this field, delivering quantifiable benefits and a proven ROI.
Ordian is committed to uncovering solutions for your unique marketplace problems. We pride ourselves on seeing every project through until the end while offering incomparable support and service.
We’re creative, adaptable, and agile. We seize unique opportunities, challenge traditional approaches, and foster an environment of innovation and excellence.
From our executives to our analysts, we don’t give up. No matter how challenging a problem is, we tackle it full force until its resolution.
Ordian and our portfolio companies are always on the lookout for the best and brightest talent in the industry. If that’s you, reach out today!
