Celebrating Success: How Patchworks Propels Growth for UK's Fastest-Growing Private Companies
July 03
We're thrilled that eight of our clients have landed coveted spots on The Sunday Times Hundred 2023, an annual listing of the UK's fastest-growing private companies.
This year, we're proud to say that Castore, Passenger Clothing, AYBL Group, Represent, Lounge Underwear, Lucy and Yak, Fairfax & Favor, and Manière De Voir all made the list. Together, these businesses achieved an impressive combined turnover of £373.5 million in sales, with Castore leading the pack with an extraordinary growth rate of 285.80%.
Last year, we witnessed AYBL top the list with a staggering 359% growth rate, due, in part, to the successful integration we facilitated between DHL and Shopify Plus. This strategic move helped expand AYBL's international shipping and transportation offerings, significantly contributing to their business growth.
How Patchworks Fosters Client Growth
The strength of an ecommerce company lies largely in its integrations. Without a top-tier iPaaS like Patchworks, driving significant growth can be challenging. Our Hundred 2023 clients get this, and we've partnered closely with them to fuel their success.
Patchworks, as a premier Integration Platform As A Service (iPaaS), enables merchants of all sizes to automate their systems, streamline their processes, and thereby escalate their business growth. We provide integrations with any platform that has an API. Thanks to our pre-built connectors compatible with hundreds of different platforms, connecting to any system is just a matter of seconds.
In situations where a connector doesn't exist, our connector builder enables you to create one with a few simple clicks. We also encourage users to submit their newly-created connectors to Patchworks for utilisation by other merchants and partners, creating an avenue for self-serve revenue.
A notable enhancement in our service offering is our new stock control solution, Stockr. With Stockr, we empower ecommerce companies to prevent overselling and minimise underselling by unifying stock across multiple stores and ensuring near-instant updates to storefronts, enabling automatic stock diversions.
Lounge Underwear serves as a perfect example of Stockr's effectiveness; they adopted Stockr early on, which significantly contributed to their impressive 215% growth in a single year.
Furthermore, Patchworks is a proud member of the MACH Alliance, a not-for-profit industry body that champions open, best-of-breed enterprise technology ecosystems. The Alliance provides resources, education, and guidance through industry experts to support companies transitioning from legacy infrastructure to composable solutions. Our MACH Certification, signifying that we meet the prerequisites of being Microservices-based, API-first, Cloud-native SaaS, and Headless, assures enterprises that they're partnering with a future-proof, best-in-class vendor.
