How might we

How might we help cross-border sellers feel supported across different markets so complexity never feels like selling into the unknown?

01 · Challenge

Growth was constrained by seller and operating friction.

Linio had access to international inventory, but the experience and operating model did not help sellers enter quickly or help regional teams act as one system.

International sellers faced a complex, slow onboarding process with unclear requirements.

Manual operational routines created bottlenecks and inconsistent response times.

Five regional markets worked in silos instead of sharing one commercial playbook.

Cross-border inventory was not being converted into a differentiated local assortment.

02 · Strategy

One regional framework, adapted locally.

Research across five markets

Combined seller, buyer and internal-team feedback from Mexico, Colombia, Peru, Chile and Argentina to identify shared friction and local constraints.

Simplify seller onboarding

Introduced progressive requirements, clearer progress, localized guidance and real-time validation so sellers always knew what came next.

Automate regional operations

Connected verification, inventory oversight and KPI reporting to reduce manual interventions and make regional performance comparable.

Align commercial leadership

Led ten category managers around shared targets while preserving market-specific assortment and seller strategies.

04 · Learnings

What the regional work made clear.

01Regional consistency works best when teams standardize the decision framework, not every local tactic.
02Automation creates scale, but complex seller cases still need clear human ownership.
03Commercial, product and operations metrics need one shared language to guide prioritization.
04Seller trust grows when requirements, status and next actions remain visible throughout onboarding.
