Workit Spaces, celebrates three years of operation today after defying Covid-19 and continues to lay the groundwork for retail’s transformation.
While other coworking businesses failed during the pandemic, Workit Spaces triumphed over Covid-19 to achieve 300 per cent growth by introducing innovative services, transforming retail and enabling eCommerce growth in Australia.
Workit’s eCommerce hubs supported local businesses to continue working safely in purpose-built spaces that offered contactless shipping and receiving stations.
Members could also remotely access a community of like-minded entrepreneurs with a robust knowledge base and support network.
Workit’s innovative ecosystems have helped its members grow significantly to reach new heights. Back in 2019 Forcite Helmets launched their first prototype, now they are so popular they can’t keep up with demand.
Similarly, Florist LVLY garnered popularity with national sales up by 500 per cent in the last three months alone.
Now, Workit’s latest project, software platform ‘SKUtopia’, will take on Amazon by revolutionising order, inventory and shipping management.
Coming this year, Workit is launching SKUtopia Fulfilment – a network of urban robotics micro-fulfilment centres across Australia using AI technology to enable deliveries as low as 1-4 hours in metro cities.
MD and founder Talea Bader (main photo) said: “Retailers are now looking to transform their shopping experiences with rapid delivery and ‘personalised valet shopping’ to attract people back to stores while working to optimise online sales and home delivery.
“Consumer behaviour has certainly changed. Covid-19 forced retailers to adapt, causing a sudden and permanent shift in purchasing habits.
“Our team that began with two is now 25 strong and expected to grow exponentially over the coming 12 months”.
“We can’t wait to continue to grow with our clients over the coming months, and there’s a lot to look forward to,”
