Company mission
Trouva's mission is to help independent shops and boutiques on the high street “to thrive, and not just survive”.
Our take
E-commerce has made it easier to shop from brands and countries across the world. However, purchasing independent products was once limited to poorly constructed websites and eBay sellers.
Trouva’s technology provides inventory management, shipping logistics and operations, as well as customer support, to make the process of shopping independently online a whole lot better. The barriers to selling online have been removed because of their marketplace.
The company doesn't just focus on online experiences, and supports customers to find physical shops with its local area discovery tool. Trouva's brand is global and growing, significant sales coming from the US, Australia and other European countries.
Inspired by their growth, Re:store has acquired Trouva in a strategic bid to serve more customers with an even broader range of products. Importantly, Trouva will keep operating as a separate outfit and will be allowed to continue growing.
