Climb Global Solutions Moving To New Cloud Marketplace ‘To Make It As Easy As Possible’ For MSPs
Summary
“The goal of the marketplace is to bring speed and efficiency to the transaction process,” Dale Foster, CEO of Eatontown, N.J.-based distributor Climb, told CRN. In addition to the strong results, Climb further strengthened its North American operations with the acquisition of Douglas Stewart Software & Services, a specialty distributor focused on SaaS solutions for the education sector, and 21 new vendors on its marketplace. So, there’s a lot of interest in joining our portfolio.” CRN spoke further to Foster about key factors driving Climb’s growth, the new cloud marketplace and what partners can expect from the distributor throughout the rest of 2025. By Q3, we’re planning to launch our new Climate Expedition marketplace which will integrate emerging tech into a cloud platform, providing a more efficient way for customers to transact. We still do the back-end work like collecting payments and signing vendors, but the marketplace itself will streamline the buying process allowing partners to scale faster and reach more customers.
