Sanderson acquires One Iota
Sanderson, the publicly-owned, UK provider of multi-channel retail software, has announced that it has acquired One Iota, a leading provider of cloud-based multi-channel retail solutions.
Based in Rossendale, Lancashire (within 15 miles of the Sanderson Group’s existing multi-channel business), One Iota helps retailers and brands keep pace with their shoppers across new and emerging technology, devices and channels.
One Iota’s offerings, which span mobile commerce, ecommerce, social media and in-store technology, enable retailers and brands to increase sales. New channels and devices, such as tablets, kiosks and mobile in store assisted shopping, can be deployed quickly and easily. And rapid integration with retailers’ existing back office systems and data, is achievable with One Iota’s innovative Software as a Service platform MESH, for a seamless retailing experience.
Used by some of the UK’s leading retailers, including Littlewoods, Very.co.uk, Footasylum and Superdry, One Iota’s enterprise grade solutions host thousands of visitors on a daily basis, securely processing large volumes of transactions to deliver multi-channel growth.
Damian Hanson, chief executive and co-founder of One Iota said: “We are tremendously excited to have joined the Sanderson Group. We know that retailers who adapt quickest and embrace new technology are stealing a march on their competition. By having the backing and the credibility of Sanderson Group plc behind us, we can continue to increase our customer base and help more and more retailers exploit the huge growth potential of multi-channel retailing.”
Ian Newcombe, managing director at Sanderson, added: “With their market-leading services and solutions, One Iota is a great fit for our business. Mobile enablement and sales channel integration are key areas of investment for retailers and One iota’s portfolio is a perfect complement to our own online and ecommerce solutions. The One Iota team is young and agile, with unparalleled experience, expertise and understanding of multi-channel retail. We look forward to working with them, and extend a warm welcome to the One Iota team.”
