The Noledge Group stumps up over £200,000 in the launch and scale up of sruu retail platform
The Noledge Group, a financial management and enterprise resource planning (ERP) solutions specialist, has launched sruu, an integrated retail platform for forecourt and convenience operators. The company has invested over £200,000 in the launch and expects sruu to generate more than £850,000 in group revenue by 2028.
sruu is the evolution of Noledge’s Connections platform, built for a convenience and forecourt sector that is becoming increasingly digitalised. It brings together EPoS, supplier, accounting and energy data in one place and currently serves more than 600 stores across the UK and Ireland. The company plans to double that figure within three years. Customers include UK forecourt and convenience operators Jos Richardson & Son and Sewell on the go, alongside Corrib Oil and Jump Juice Bars in Ireland.
Ladislav Zimanyi, Head of Operations at sruu, pictured below, says: “sruu is a one stop shop for retailers to automate their business processes and improve their operational visibility. It is scalable as businesses continue to grow and simplifies continued expansion as new retail sites are added. In addition, the ability to leverage business data to spot trends or patterns in a rapidly changing retail landscape and as consumer demand continues to shift will help stores to keep pace with their competitors.”
“We are on an ambitious growth path and plan to expand our presence in response to increasing demand for digital capabilities among businesses. There is a new generation of retailers emerging in the digital age and we’re looking forward to becoming a key part of their journeys.”
2026 RTIH Innovation Awards
Digital retail will be a key focus area at the 2026 RTIH Innovation Awards.
The awards are now open for entries and celebrate global retail technology innovation in a fast moving omnichannel world.
Our winners will be revealed at the 2026 RTIH Innovation Awards Ceremony, taking place at The HAC in Central London on Wednesday, 4th November.
Check out our 2025 winners here.
Our 2025 hall of fame entrants were revealed during a sold out event which took place at The HAC on 16th October and consisted of a drinks reception, three course meal, and awards ceremony presided over by award winning comedian, actress and writer Tiff Stevenson.
In his welcome speech, Scott Thompson, Founder and Editor, RTIH, said: “This is the awards’ fifth year as a physical event. We started off with just 30 people at the South Place Hotel not far from here, then moved to London Bridge Hotel, then The Barbican, and last year RIBA’s HQ in the West End.”
“But I’m conscious of the fact that, to quote the legend that is Taylor Swift, You’re only as hot as your last hit, baby. So, this year we’ve moved to our biggest venue yet, and also pulled in our largest number of entries to date and broken attendance records.”
He added: “This year’s submissions have without doubt been our best yet. To quote one of the judges: The examples of innovative developments across both traditional and digital retail spaces were truly remarkable.”
Congratulations to our winners, and a big thank you to our sponsors, judging panel, the legend that is Tiff Stevenson, and all those who attended our 2025 gathering.
