Amsterdam-based SAAS company Retailisation receives growth capital from Nimbus Ventures, an investment company for scale ups. The proceeds will be used to increase Retailisations’ international market share and to add more services to its portfolio.
Within just a few years, Retailisation has become the leading platform of inventory management for fashion and sporting goods retail in Europe. With multiple blue-chip customers from the apparel industry, Retailisation improves the productivity of the so called ‘last mile’, and determines the optimal inventory level of the retail outlet. These optimised inventory levels lead to a substantial increase in both sales and Return on Inventory (
ROI), which is closely monitored and reported to the client. Endorsed by big fashion and sports brands, Retailisation has concrete plans to increase its international market share and add more services to its current proposition: for example, merchandise planning and tailored solutions for independent retailers dealing with big brands.
Jasper Zeelenberg, founder of Retailisation: “Nimbus Venture’s experience in growing companies and being actively involved in its investments is what our company needs to take the business to the next level.”
Auke van den Hout, partner of Nimbus Ventures: “Retailisation is a typical example of a company with great scaling opportunities. The enthusiastic team looked for support in finance as well as in expertise to scale up. The combination of skills will benefit fashion and sporting good brands around the world in inventory optimization.”
