Veeqo started out when retailer Matt Warren wanted to grow his ecommerce business.
Matt was running a multi-million pound retail business, but found it almost impossible to manage multiple orders from multiple marketplaces.
He thought there had to be a better way to run a successful ecommerce business.
That’s why he created Veeqo.

The Veeqo story is just beginning – but look how far we’ve come already.
Retailer Matt Warren starts building Veeqo from his home in Swansea, South Wales. He also begins raising investment via crowdfunding, becoming the first Welsh company to do so.
Matt also hires CTO Daniel Vartanov and a tech team in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan to help build the Veeqo platform from scratch.
Veeqo is released to a small handful of customers in beta mode. It integrates with Shopify, Amazon and Royal Mail, giving ecommerce retailers the ability to manage their inventory and orders across multiple channels from a single, cloud-based platform.
Veeqo is launched to the world, and officially out of beta – complete with a new eBay integration. $670k is raised through crowdfunding and the first full-time Veeqo employees are hired.
Veeqo raises $1m of seed funding from retail magnate and founder of UK retail chain New Look, Tom Singh.
Veeqo gets its next major update – a brand new listing tool, allowing retailers to easily sell multichannel. Also released is an iPhone app that offers reporting, stock taking and barcode scanning capabilities, all designed to help retailers save time.
Veeqo acquires London-based shipping startup ParcelBright. Veeqo customers in the UK can now easily ship internationally, and are also offered discounted shipping rates and tracking facilities – all within a single platform.
Veeqo raises £1.2m on the crowdfunding platform Seedrs, at a company valuation of £8m. The investment is used to improve the Veeqo software, and expand the team – with new roles created across engineering, marketing, sales and support.
Our brand new app store, the Veeqo Marketplace, is launched – giving retailers and third party developers the opportunity to build brand new features and functionality on the Veeqo platform
Our first ever hardware device, the Veeqo Scanner, promises to bring enterprise-level logistics opportunities to retailers of all sizes.
