eDesk Accelerates US Expansion to Meet Surging Demand

eDesk, the AI-powered customer support platform for online sellers, today announced a major expansion of its US operations to meet surging demand. The move solidifies its commitment to the American market, where half of its 5,000 business customers are already based. This number is growing daily as eDesk powers over 2 million+ customer conversations every month.

Founded by successful Irish entrepreneur Ray Nolan, the man behind global travel giant Hostelworld, eDesk was created to help online retailers navigate the increasingly fragmented e-commerce landscape. Nolan saw businesses struggling to manage customer queries across marketplaces, webstores and social channels, and created eDesk to unify support into one intelligent, easy-to-use inbox.

The world of online shopping is growing, and a new generation of brands is growing right along with it. But as a business expands, keeping up with customer messages can become a real challenge. That’s what eDesk is built for. eDesk brings all customer support into one place and automates repetitive work, freeing you up to focus on what’s most important: growing your business.

“We’re seeing a powerful wave of Direct-to-Consumer brands in the US that have moved beyond the startup phase and are now focused on scaling,” said Ray Nolan, CEO and Founder of eDesk. “The leaders of these brands are experts in product and marketing, but as they grow, the complexity of customer support can become a major bottleneck. They don’t want to get bogged down in admin. We provide the platform to manage that complexity, so they can focus on strategic growth. Our expansion is about being on the ground to help these established businesses win.”

eDesk’s power lies in its deep integration with the entire e-commerce ecosystem. It connects with over 300 marketplaces, webstores, and social channels — from giants like Amazon, eBay, and Walmart, to Shopify, Instagram, and even TikTok. By automatically pulling in all customer, order, and shipping information, it gives sellers a complete view of every query without having to switch between systems. Its AI-powered features then help to prioritise, translate, and even suggest the perfect response, making it easier than ever for scaling stores to succeed in an increasingly complex world.

 “This move deepens our commitment to the US market,” said Gareth Cummings, Managing Director at eDesk. “With our team on the ground and insight from thousands of sellers globally, we’re in a unique position to help established brands turn customer support into a competitive advantage. Intelligent customer engagement, powered by fast and unified support, drives loyalty, retention and growth”

This expansion into the US is a long-term commitment to a market that supports over 12 million e-commerce sites. The move will benefit all of eDesk’s global customers through greater investment in product development and improved worldwide assistance.

eDesk is the e-commerce customer support software that is always on, everywhere, and on every marketplace, handling all customer questions.
