Magaloop

It’s a model which is seeing some traction across similar sectors like construction, or the restaurant industry. In spite of the company being relatively young, it’s won Magaloop some success, too: they claim to have grown into Germany’s largest network of independent retailers, and have won modest initial funding from investors. The latter is particularly impressive, given how Magaloop’s focus on brick-and-mortar retailers runs directly counter to the rise of ecommerce and recent periods of store closure.

Magaloop’s intuitive, easy-access, high-reward supply solution is likely to prove especially enticing for retailers still belt-tightening after the upheaval of recent years. It will be interesting to see in which direction they choose to expand what has so far proven a reliable business model.
