Here’s the translation to American English:
The Chilean company Buscalibre commemorates a new anniversary by reaffirming its commitment to the publishing industry in Latin America and Europe, driving its innovative e-commerce model. Since its founding, the company has delivered books to over one million customers, establishing itself as one of the leading book sales platforms in Spain.
With a presence in more than ten countries and millions of active users, Buscalibre has become a bridge between readers and titles from around the world, distinguished by its efficient logistics network and competitive delivery times. Through collaboration with suppliers, publishers, and independent authors, the platform has faced significant challenges, such as customs regulations and market fluctuations, successfully optimizing its operations in countries including Mexico, Colombia, Chile, Ecuador, Spain, and the UK.
Boris Kraizel, CEO of Buscalibre, emphasized the effort to build a multi-country platform adaptable to the particularities of each market. “Creating a robust and adaptable operation has been possible; it really is a ‘little machine’ that allows us to operate efficiently,” he stated. During the pandemic, this infrastructure enabled the company to absorb a growing demand for books, prompting them to move to a larger logistics center and establish their own distribution chain, called “Free Shipping.” Improvements were also implemented in the buying experience, such as title recommendation tools.
Buscalibre has strengthened its relationship with the publishing ecosystem, creating a catalog that exceeds seven million titles, which translates into over five million units sold annually. “Our goal goes beyond just offering an online store; we aim to collaborate with publishers, promote new literary voices, and facilitate access to hard-to-find books,” affirmed Juan José Daza, the company’s Commercial and Marketing Director.
Looking to the future, Buscalibre is focused on continuous growth in both customer numbers and revenue, solidifying its position in the countries where it operates. To celebrate its anniversary, the company has planned a series of promotional activities that will include special editions, signed books, free shipping, and imported titles from various locations. Since its inception 17 years ago in Chile, Buscalibre has expanded its presence to Argentina, Colombia, the United States, Spain, Mexico, Peru, and Ecuador, becoming a benchmark for online book commerce in the region.
