Swanky & Linnworks: Combining Ecommerce Strategy With Advanced IMS Capabilities For Australian Retailers

Much like other regions around the world, the ecommerce landscape in Australia is rapidly evolving. As the market grows, retailers recognise the need to adapt and embrace digital transformation, with growing demand for efficient and scalable online retail solutions.

Swanky has been building on Shopify since 2012, with teams in the UK and Australia operating at the forefront of the global Shopify ecosystem. We combine experience and expertise with best-in-class tooling to help both disrupted startups and established brands grow online.

One such tool is Linnworks, an advanced Order Management and Inventory Management Solution (OMS & IMS) that streamlines ecommerce operations, expands brand reach and delivers exceptional customer experiences.

Building upon our successful partnership in the UK, Swanky and Linnworks are excited to be teaming up in Australia. This collaboration will provide retailers with the tools and expertise needed to thrive in an increasingly competitive online marketplace.

Linnworks enables ecommerce success

Linnworks offers a comprehensive suite of tools designed to simplify and optimise retail operations. The platform includes:

• Centralised inventory management: Linnworks allows retailers to manage their inventory across multiple sales channels and marketplaces from a single, unified platform. This ensures accurate stock levels, prevents overselling, and enables efficient order fulfilment.
• Seamless marketplace integration: With Linnworks, retailers can easily connect to popular marketplaces like Amazon, eBay, and more.
• Intelligent order management: Linnworks streamlines the entire order process, from initial placement to final delivery. Advanced automation features help reduce manual tasks, minimise errors and improve overall efficiency.
• Warehouse management: The platform offers robust warehouse management capabilities, enabling retailers to optimise storage, picking, packing, and shipping processes. This leads to faster turnaround times and enhanced customer satisfaction.

Supporting international growth

Linnworks also provides the necessary tools and support for retailers looking to expand their operations internationally. The platform can handle multiple currencies, tax rates, and shipping methods, making it easier to manage cross-border sales.

It offers integrations with global shipping carriers and logistics providers – allowing retailers to access competitive shipping rates and streamline their international fulfilment processes.

Meanwhile, Swanky’s team have worked with Australian brands like bond-eye swim, Farrell’s and Vitruvian to craft and scale successful international Shopify stores. We’ve developed a unified codebase that enables centralisation of multiple Shopify stores, easing the management of international stores.

Our full-service teams, including marketers, data analysts, digital strategists, designers and more, are well-versed with the unique challenges of cross-border ecommerce and how to overcome these.

This synergy of international ecommerce expertise will equip Australian retailers with the technology and strategies they need to successfully sell into foreign markets.
