Scurri

Congratulations to Scurri who were recognised as the 17th Best Small Workplace in Ireland 2021 from a list of 30 companies, which includes Asana, Adecco, and Stelfox. This year’s awards saw Scurri place as the only company based in the South East in the Small Business category.

Retailers are facing challenges in logistics more than ever before as Covid-19 has propelled businesses online at an accelerated rate.  Uncertainty will be a mainstay for the foreseeable future, and for retailers, this means building resilience into their strategies. Retail tech is playing a pivotal role in helping companies survive current challenges and be prepared for future ones.

Scurri is a delivery management platform that powers ordering, shipping & delivery for online sellers. Scurri adds value across the eCommerce journey, including tailoring delivery options at checkout, integrating seamlessly with the world’s most familiar carriers and platforms, live tracking of deliveries and comprehensive reporting right through the full process, from order to delivery. Scurri manages millions of parcel deliveries for eCommerce merchants, platforms and 3PL’s. Clients include eBay, Vision Direct, Gousto to name a few, delivery partners include carriers UPS, Royal Mail, DHL, DPD. Scurri’s API integrates with eCommerce platforms Shopify, Magento, Brightpearl, Peoplevox and many more.

The last year has been one of upheaval for the eCommerce industry, with uncertainty and disruption caused by the pandemic and the impact of Brexit. For retailers it was a mixed bag, they experienced the dramatic increase of demand as customers shifted online but also the squeeze on supply chains and the challenges of meeting such demands.

Scurri has successfully empowered its clients to supply strong customer service and reliability even during the crisis. Operational resilience and flexibility are inherent to our robust framework which enables retailers to continue to deliver value and excellent customer experiences despite obstacles such as Covid and Brexit.

Online demand is now inherently variable; retailers need the flexibility built into the architecture of their systems so that their networks and service levels are as flexible as consumer demand. A scalable infrastructure is one of the ways Scurri empowers merchants, by being able to quickly add or remove shipping resources , quickly adding a new pick and pack station, warehouse or enabling them to ship from store.

The eCommerce delivery experience is extremely complicated to set up and manage, with so many different aspects that don’t work together without significant IT development and investment.

Covid-19 will continue to shape the retail landscape in a profound way. With eCommerce now accounting for a 3rd of all retail sales, meeting customer demand whilst maintaining the safety of staff and shoppers alike is more essential than ever.  Technologies like Scurri play a central role in business continuity.
