Manchester-based delivery software platform Sorted has announced a partnership with online luxury fashion retail platform Farfetch to help connect its boutiques and partners.
The deal will see Sorted’s technology integrated into the $3bn retailer’s fulfilment centres to help scale its delivery management capabilities globally.
As part of the partnership, Sorted has worked closely with Farfetch to develop the integration with their existing ecommerce fulfilment technology, enabling Farfetch to use different services and carriers for each part of the online order process.
In addition to connecting over 2,000 shipping locations worldwide, Sorted will also be integrated into Farfetch’s fulfilment centre network, and its Fulfilment by Farfetch (FxFF) network.
Having secured over £35m in investment since launch in 2010, Sorted is one of the UK’s fastest growing tech companies. Sorted clients include ASOS, Missguided and Lush
“Sorted’s technology helps retailers expand delivery options to customers, and we’re excited to be adding Farfetch as our first marketplace client to our impressive roster of clients,” said David Grimes, Founder and CEO at Sorted.
“It’s important that companies like Farfetch are actively embracing software innovations like this and investing in the post purchase stage in order to keep pace and continue rewriting the rules when it comes to delivery in the competitive world of retail.”
Stuart Hill, VP Logistics, at Farfetch, added: “As Farfetch continues to grow globally, it is important for us to work with a partner who is able to offer us a world-class, innovative, and globally scalable platform to handle our deliveries. Sorted is able to meet that demand for us, and we’re excited to be working with them.”
