Experts in cloud based multi-channel retail solutions.

Summary

We founded One iota with a single vision, to help retailers and brands keep pace with their shoppers across new technology devices and channels. We realised that the best way to achieve this was to develop our own platform. From this initial vision, we developed our cloud based patent pending modular technology platform, MESH.

MESH rapidly delivers enterprise grade solutions, delivered in a Software as a Service (SaaS) model to provide solutions across our key offerings which span Commerce, Social and our range of In-store technology solutions.

Our team of experts have unparalleled experience, expertise and understanding of multi-channel retail solutions, including social and mobile commerce, and they continually deliver market leading services and products. This high level of expertise is reflected in its status as a Facebook Preferred Marketing Developer. We are currently innovating with In-store retail solutions including our SmartPod offering and mobile point of sale solutions (mPOS).

Today we work with some of the UK's leading brands and retailers including names such as Very.co.uk, Footasylum, Republic, Mamas & Papas, Universal, Jaeger and SuperDry.

Experience

With over 10-years experience in mobile technologies we have spent significant time planning how new technologies and devices can fuse together as part of the multi-channel shopping experience. We are passionate about how cloud based technology solutions will become central to Commerce and retailing success in the future.
