Scurri among top 50 retail tech start-ups

SCURRI has been named among the top 50 retail tech start-ups operating globally, according to a new report published by RWRC – home of Retail Week and World Retail Congress.

The Wexford-based software provider that connects and optimises the e-commerce ordering, shipping, and delivery process was the only Irish company to have been listed in the industry ranking. Profiling the top 50 global retail tech start-ups, the Discovery 50 report analyses the influential role start-ups, including Scurri, play in the new world of e-commerce. Start-ups were judged and shortlisted by a panel of retail and business experts. The Discovery 50 all started trading in the last seven years and have worked with a breadth of retailers and brands to help transform their businesses, either through a pilot or full-scale solution.

Scurri adds value at multiple stages along the e-commerce journey: from selecting the most effective delivery option for each package, creating accurate labels, tracking the packages, and running analytics to deliver insight to support process improvement. Fuelled by the growth in online shopping in the UK and Ireland, the company has opened offices in London, and the Scurri technology now manages millions of parcel deliveries for e-commerce merchants including eBay and Vision Direct, to name a few, and are integrated with delivery partners such as UPS, Royal Mail, DHL, TNT and DPD.

Scurri CEO and founder, Rory O’Connor said: ‘We are delighted to have been selected and ranked alongside such great companies which are all delivering immense value to the retail sector. Retail tech is playing and will continue to play a pivotal role in helping companies survive the current and future challenges which lie ahead. Covid-19 has and will continue to reshape commerce in a profound way. Technologies like those produced by the Discovery 50 are helping retailers to continue to deliver value and a better customer experience despite the many obstacles we all face.’
