MERGADO’s main goal is to help build successful e‑commerce advertising using smart tools and automated features. For this reason, we started developing MERGADO Editor in 2010.
While the development of our company is our number one priority, we also care about connecting e‑commerce experts and enthusiasts and developing our expertise with each other.
That’s why we are committed to equality, education and empathy even in such a harsh environment as online marketing can be. We believe it is this approach that helps drive not only MERGADO’s business forward, but also that of its users and partners.

We are a diverse team of talented and skilled people who are pushing the boundaries of how e‑commerce employees can reach their full potential. We enjoy coming up with solutions to big and small industry problems.
We work together to create a culture that fosters humble, creative and independent work. We prove to our customers every day that practice, creativity, and collaboration are powerful tools to help them realize their dreams.
Who we are
MERGADO is based in Brno. Although we create software that helps online stores increase revenue from product advertising campaigns in many types of advertising channels, the MERGADO team has long been more than just a development team. To ensure that users get everything they need when using our services, a number of staff are involved in the running of MERGADO on a daily basis.
In our team, you’ll find tireless IT experts who tame big data and love Python and Nette, as well as versatile consultants for whom no problem of yours is unsolvable, and talented creatives who keep you up to date with everything that’s happening at MERGADO.
We work efficiently, creatively and consistently. And on top of that, we still find time for group activities. We are proud that we have managed to create an effective intersection between work commitment and friendly relationships within the team. This makes us an efficient company that is among the top Czech feed management tools.

History
Central European leader in feed marketing. For more than 12 years
The history of the MERGADO software dates back to 2010. This is when the idea of the MERGADO Editor itself was conceived — a tool for optimizing product data inside XML feeds. At first, its founder Michal Janík used it only for his internal needs. But when he started to realize that such software would be appreciated by a large number of colleagues from the marketing industry, he decided to offer the tool publicly. MERGADO gained its first customers in February 2012.
In March 2013, the company began certifying marketing professionals who use MERGADO Editor. Today, the partner certificate is held by the real top of the Czech and Slovak marketing scene.
Michal Janík ran MERGADO as a self-employed person until 2015. In February 2016, the company Mergado technologies, s. r. o. started its activity and took over all activities related to the operation and development of the MERGADO software. The sole shareholder of this company is Michal Janík.
