Since 1999, we've been on the cutting edge of ecommerce technology. We revolutionized the industry by introducing the now standard one-page checkout process. Along the way, we've picked up tons of awards and had the honor of serving over 100,000 eager entrepreneurs from all over the world. Our software has been used by a wide array of businesses - from small mom and pop shops to Fortune 500 companies.
Our passion in enabling merchants' success began in the bedroom of Founder and Chairman, Kevin Sproles, who initially designed and coded websites. As his client list rapidly grew, a resounding request emerged – a shopping cart. At this point in time, ecommerce was in its infancy and was only available to major players with deep pockets. Always up for a challenge, Kevin began programming shopping cart software that could be used by the masses.
One of Kevin's early clients soon became a driving force in growing the company. Current CEO, Clay Olivier, had recently left a successful career at Dell to travel with his wife. Upon his return to Texas, he discovered an opportunity to create an efficient business based on the concept of "Natural Capitalism". Natural capitalism is based on the idea that business can be good for the environment and Clay decided to open an online store that would meet this standard. After conducting significant research, he chose Volusion to build his new online business. Kevin and Clay spent countless hours on the phone discussing the software and its potential. Eventually they met in person and the rest is history – or as they say, the present and the future of ecommerce.
After releasing several software versions to provide the latest in innovative features, we've now grown to a team of over 150 "Volusioneers" between the two offices in Austin and London. Our client base has also grown exponentially – in 2009, online storeowners using our ecommerce solution processed over $2 billion in transactions. Despite these astounding numbers, Kevin and Clay's leadership reinforces our mission to create simple and innovative experiences that enable our merchants to succeed online.
