FetchFind Acquires PawedIn to Create a Full-Service Marketplace that Gives Consumers a Better Way of Selecting Pet Care Providers
Chicago, IL (PRWEB) November 15, 2016 -- FetchFind, the leading provider of e-learning and career advancement for the pet care services industry, announced today that they have acquired PawedIn, LLC, an innovative platform that provides pet parents the resources needed to make informed decisions for their pets, offers connections to service providers and products, and helps pet professionals connect to potential clients in a cost-efficient manner.
The purchase of PawedIn further increases FetchFind’s share of the pet care services market. "The acquisition of PawedIn allows us to provide our pet care business clients with greatly expanded opportunities to engage with pet owners. It also gives them a place to showcase unique elements about their companies, such as how they hire and train staff or whether they help animal rescue organizations by offering discounts or volunteering," said Jamie Migdal, CEO of FetchFind.
"Most importantly, the acquisition will give pet owners the ability to select pet care providers based on more than just a Yelp review or a passing recommendation," added Migdal. "The combination of our two platforms will allow FetchFind to provide a greater portfolio of services to providers, including veterinarians, boarding and daycare facilities, dog walkers and pet-sitters, while deepening our relationship with pet parents and pet-centric brands."
"PawedIn and FetchFind nicely complement each other, as both companies are focused on delivering outstanding service and opportunities to pet care providers, professionals, and pet parents," commented Keith Johnson, CEO of PawedIn, LLC. "As Midwest-based pet startups and members of 1871(Chicago’s center for technology and entrepreneurship) we have been collaborating for a while. The idea of combining the two companies was a natural progression."
FetchFind will leverage PawedIn’s two-sided marketplace (businesses and pet owners) to provide their current business client base greater visibility to pet owners. "The integration of FetchFind’s job board and e-learning system will take place over the next several months. Our clients will continue to receive the same high quality employee education and career training they have come to expect from FetchFind," stated Migdal.
