Better customer and product insight

The ecommerce platform gives retailers a number of insights and services that helps them acquire, retain and convert customers.

The platform is currently being used by furniture retailer Swoon Editions; fashion brand Bench; beauty brand Charlotte Tilbury; and 230-year-old knitwear brand John Smedley.

Come on board

Ometria has also announced that previous investor and Huddle co-founder Ali Mitchell will be joining its board.

Ivan Mazour, co-founder and CEO of Ometria, said they were “delighted” to bring Mitchell on board and that “his knowledge and experience of scaling groundbreaking technology businesses will be invaluable as our company moves into its next phase”.

The funding will be used to accelerate the development of Ometria’s SaaS platform.
