Evermile and Tide target smaller merchants with launch of delivery and financial platforms partnership
Evermile, a delivery platform built for local businesses, has announced a partnership with Tide, a UK business financial platform.
This promises to deliver “game-changing cost efficiencies and enhanced delivery management for local merchants across the UK, unlocking access to advanced tech and operational capabilities that were only available to larger retailers and e-commerce brands until now”.
Merchants who use the Evermile and Tide platforms together can keep track of operational overheads, while simplifying and optimising delivery options to find the best partner based on availability, price and performance.
Omer Goldschmidt, Co-Founder and CEO at Evermile, says: "Local delivery has become a necessity for local businesses, yet it presents a significant challenge without the right tools and logistics expertise.”
“Our partnership with Tide is the first step in a long-term journey of two companies committed to fueling the growth of smaller, independent businesses. We’re giving them the opportunity to unlock their full growth potential and leverage tech like never before.”
“Together, we're bringing a new level of clarity and control to these businesses – many of whom have limited time and resources to manage the complex and time consuming tasks related to delivery operations.”
Chloe Wilson, Partnerships Lead at Tide, says: “We're intimately familiar with the hurdles small business owners encounter daily, especially in managing their finances. In today's market, managing delivery costs has become a critical concern for many businesses.”
“This partnership with Evermile is a natural extension of our dedication to deliver solutions that ease the financial burdens of our members. It's a positive move towards giving them more control and financial flexibility."
Founded in 2022, Evermile is currently working with 450 local businesses across the UK.
It raised $6 million million in seed funding in April 2023 and announced a strategic partnership with Uber Direct at the end of the year.
