Welcome to Gelato! In this article, you will find the basic information to better understand who we are and how we can support you and your business.
What is Gelato?
Gelato’s mission is to empower global ecommerce and the creator economy to serve any customer overnight with any customized product.
Gelato’s platform enables ecommerce entrepreneurs and creators to produce and deliver custom products such as clothing, wall art, and books to customers anywhere through a network of more than 130+ local production partners in 32 countries.
Because the products are made on demand and closer to where they are delivered, shipping is faster and waste and carbon emissions are reduced, while also removing the seller’s need to manage inventory or cross-border shipping.
Gelato’s goal is to produce 90% of all orders locally, in the same country as where they are delivered, and reduce transportation distances by 90%.
Faster, smarter, greener.
