ItaliaOnline: the B2C marketplace that transforms directories into a wide range of services

Italia Online is Italy’s largest internet company. Offering a vast array of services, it is namely the operator of the Italian yellow pages (Pagine Gialle).

Most service platforms (Uber, AirBNB, Fiverr…) do not handle purchases through a shopping cart, but rather through a booking engine. Second offers a highly optimized booking engine that increases conversion rates and customer satisfaction.
