Our take
Online shopping seems to have become the norm, and yet 80% of American grocery shopping is still done in person. This is the market Swiftly seeks to engage with its mobile platform specifically aimed at physical stores.
It markets itself as helping brick-and-mortar stores compete with online business. These stores have the benefits of locality and community, but with swiftly’s app and mobile tools they have data-heavy consumer analytics, targeted product suggestions, delivery options and loyalty schemes on top. There’s a couple of other features as well, but essentially it lets physical stores operate in a digital market while still benefitting from the functionality of the store itself.
It’s a clever idea that seeks to capitalise on the myriad potential of smaller businesses, rather than looking for a handful of big client deals. There are other companies operating in the digital/physical crossover retail space, like Foxtrot, but Swiftly’s one-size-fits-all platform has greater potential for scaleability, turning heads by raising $200 million in funding in just 6 months. Its latest investment is being focussed on expanding into new stores, new countries, and new areas of retail.
