Overview
Cymax Group is a Canadian e-commerce technology and logistics company for the furniture and home sector. It runs two online furniture marketplaces, Homesquare for consumers and Cymax Business for business buyers, and offers furniture vendors tools to sell across marketplaces and ship bulky items. For a furniture or home décor brand, Cymax is both a sales channel and a partner for selling online in the US and Canada.
Who is behind Cymax
Cymax was founded in 2004 by Arash Fasihi as a website selling media furniture, and it grew by building a vendor portal and many niche furniture sites. Markus Frind, the founder of Plenty of Fish, first invested in 2015, became the majority owner and later CEO. The company is based in the Vancouver area and works with furniture vendors and retailers across North America.

Why Cymax matters for brands
Furniture is hard to sell online because of bulky shipping and many marketplaces. Cymax combines its own marketplaces with tools and logistics that help brands handle both.
