Huboo is the fastest growing UK-headquartered fulfilment technology provider enabling online retailers of all sizes to access a complete end-to-end fulfilment operation within minutes.
The company’s intuitive software provides everything from transaction management and quality control, stock control, order tracking and billing information to integration with popular sales channels and marketplaces, such as Amazon, eBay and Shopify, enabling Huboo to receive and process retailers’ orders directly, in real-time.
Huboo combines this multi-channel management software with a transformational ‘micro-warehousing’ model. This unique tech-driven concept enables its warehouse teams to work intelligently and productively on a set client portfolio within a more manageable environment. Micro-warehousing improves customer service by ensuring Huboo’s clients liaise with the same team member each time. It improves efficiency by underpinning all warehouse operations with real-time management technology, and it eliminates the gruelling back-and-forth of conventional warehouse roles.
The final component of Huboo’s transformative approach to technology is data analysis. It uses its tech-powered micro-warehouses to deliver real-time insights on retailers’ performance across all sales channels, analyse their stock levels and make smart predictions about future sales trends and audience behaviours.
By creating an offering that is accessible to all retailers, including independent businesses, small eCommerce providers and even startup D2C brands, Huboo has defined a new category within UK fulfilment estimated to be worth approximately £1bn annually, second only to Amazon.
Throughout 2020, the business recruited 149 new employees; grew its total UK warehouse space to over 11sqm, onboarded 712 new clients, achieved an average growth rate of 3.75x or 7.3x (3.75x based on value of shares or 7.3x based on revenue growth) and achieved its first £1m turnover month.
Hot on the heels of 2020’s success, Huboo has expanding into Europe by launching new warehouse bases in the Netherlands and Spain.
Huboo’s software platform is free for all of its clients. Clients can sign up and be underway within minutes at no cost, with many of the traditional costs (e.g. ‘goods in’ charges) and punitive contractual stipulations (e.g. 90-day termination terms) eradicated to ensure retailers of all sizes can access its services.
