AI negotiation platform Nibble notches up a milestone as Asos taps tech for return of Sample Sale website

Nibble reports that it has hit one million automated negotiations through its platform.

In a LinkedIn post, Jamie Ettedgui, Co-Founder at Nibble, said: “This milestone is one of, if not the largest, human-to-computer negotiation datasets out there, and I’m incredibly proud of what we’ve achieved.”

“Nibble is a long way from the original PDF it started out as. Here’s to many more milestones ahead!”

He added: “A massive thank you to our amazing customers for believing in our technology and trusting it to negotiate with their customers. Your support has made this achievement possible.”

Asos

Fast fashion giant Asos has brought back its Sample Sale website, with brands including Pull & Bear, Topshop and French Association.

This previously proved to be a big hit with shoppers in October of last year and April of this year.

Everything is priced at £5 and for the first time ever it’s possible to haggle over prices using Nibble.

The site closes at 12pm today.

Shein backlash

Earlier this week, former Asos boss Nick Beighton hit out at Chinese fast fashion big hitter Shein and questioned whether it should list on the London Stock Exchange.

'Some of how it is producing garments, the lack of transparency, its renowned opaqueness, makes me very nervous,' he said. 'I think the London Stock Exchange should be the premier place for the best brands, the best industries, and the highest standards.'

The Chinese founded, Singapore-based retailer is reportedly preparing for a possible London listing. It had originally planned to list in New York, but had to change course following opposition from US lawmakers.
