"Previously, businesses had to hire credit control specialists or give extra tasks to existing members of their team to manually monitor the payment dynamics of customers. An employee had to identify late payers, then prioritize, contact and follow up with individual clients to ensure late payments were received. This was not only time-consuming but also stressful for business owners and often prone to errors,"
— Dimitri Raziev, CEO and co-founder

£60.0M

The Series B round was led by Mubadala Capital and will support the platform's continental European expansion.

"Scores of new and existing retail businesses now see their future in e-commerce, but while anyone can set up an online store-front and start selling within hours, the infrastructure powering e-commerce is alarmingly outdated, inefficient, inflexible and expensive."
— Martin Bysh, CEO
Series B
£24.7M

The Series B round was led by Insight Partners with participation from Stride.VC, Chalfen Ventures, and the SAP.iO fund.

We’re excited to work with Insight – a true scale partner that understands how our platform will deliver enormous value to customers in this complex world."
