It’s been months of building this with one of the most amazing teams, and I’m so glad to see how far we’ve come. We initially started BOX as a B2B2C model, selling to banks and fintechs so they could offer it to the businesses they already serve. BOX gives those businesses the tools to manage their sales, payments, inventory, bookings and day-to-day operations in one place. For the bank or fintech, that means becoming much more embedded in how their business customers operate, which creates opportunities for deeper customer relationships, stronger retention, new revenue lines and, with better visibility into business cash flow, products like cash-flow-based lending. Since then, we’ve sold to our first pilot bank, have more in the pipeline, got into Antler, and now we’re opening BOX up for business owners to use directly. Because we believe everyone deserves to experience what running a business feels like when you don’t have to spend your day reconciling payments, updating spreadsheets, checking screenshots, or jumping between five different tools. Say you run a retail store and also take orders through Instagram and WhatsApp. With BOX, you can generate secure payment links right from the conversation. Your customer gets an invoice and can pay by card or transfer. Once they pay, the transaction is recorded and your inventory is updated automatically, even if you have multiple locations. No more wondering what a payment screenshot was for. No more trying to figure out whether an alert is real. And with the right controls in place, you have a much clearer view of what your staff are selling and collecting. For in-person sales, BOX turns your existing phone or tablet into a softPOS. Accept payments, scan inventory, and fulfil orders directly from the app. And because everything is connected, you can see your revenue, best-selling products, most loyal customers and business performance across channels and locations from one place. And retail is only one part of it. Whether your business model involves selling a physical product, selling a digital product, selling a ticket, selling a service, taking a booking, taking a reservation, selling a membership, selling an experience, or some combination of these, BOX was built for you. Box is a unified commerce platform for multi-vertical and multi channel businesses. - Services: Multi-chair salons, barbershops and spas - Food & Beverage: Restaurants, cloud kitchens and cafés - Stays: Hotels, shortlets and guesthouses Fitness: Gyms, studios, padel and racquet clubs - Events: Concerts, conferences and parties - Consultants: Scheduling, invoicing and digital products Different businesses.
