Sustainable retail is a trend that’s always in fashion. With packaging being identified as significantly influencing 71% of consumers when deciding where to shop, the use of ethical products and consumables has become even more important.
With the rise of ecommerce and increasing customer expectations around faster and more reliable delivery of sustainably packaged goods, retailers need a cost-effective and environmentally friendly approach to packaging, as well as being able to deliver memorable instore experiences with a seamless ominichannel approach and strategy.
We work with household brands including Saltrock, H&M, IKEA, ASDA, Suit Direct, Zee & Co, Hotter Footwear and Skopes Menswear, to help them drive more value and greater efficiencies in their operational processes, resulting in a smoother customer experience when receiving packaged goods or shopping instore.

Streamlining processes and driving sustainable efficiencies
“Having researched the market for a stationery supplier, we found that Acopia stood out from the crowd and were also able to deliver a lot more than just stationery. We love their morals and working ethics and they’re great fit with Saltrock.
We found the transition very effortless and the thing that stands out for us is the level of communication and care. The live chat questions are answered immediately, nothing is too much trouble and anything we request you always find a way to deliver for us and also come back with great suggestions too which is down to the care and experience Acopia provide.
Feedback from all our store managers has been extremely positive and they are just as happy as us to have a better and more streamlined way of working.
We feel the move to Acopia is one of the best things we could have done in terms of freeing up time, resources, warehouse space and streamlining our procedures and processes in head office and in stores.”
