Shutl launches first e-Commerce modules
Wednesday, March 3rd, 2010
This week we completed development of our first integration modules for Magento and osCommerce.
These modules offer easy “out-of-the-box” integration for retailers running either of these two open-source platforms. Don’t worry if you aren’t using Magento or osCommerce, there will be more to come in due course!
We aim to make it as easy as possible for retailers to offer Shutl delivery to their customers and these two modules are a great start to overcoming the time and development associated with any deployment.
Both modules will be going into production with Shutl clients within the next few weeks.
If you are a London-based retailer running either Magento or osCommerce and would like to try out Shutl– get in touch! We’d love to get your feedback and comments. Just e-mail us on info@shutl.co.uk if you’d like to find out more.
If you are using another e-Commerce platform and would like to request a module, register here and specify your platform and we will get in touch.
Recession? What recession?
Wednesday, February 10th, 2010
A recent report by Kelkoo shows that UK consumers were responsible for a MASSIVE 30% of all European online retail sales in 2009. Collectively we managed to spend £38bn compared to the European total of £127.7bn. Recession? What recession?
Despite these crazy numbers, the online shopping experience still has some way to go. In contrast, IMRG’s Consumer Delivery Report 2010 reveals that there is an increase in concern amongst consumers about the risk of delivery failure. Despite overall satisfaction with delivery services growing by 13% – predominantly due to the increase in more convenient delivery options – 75% of consumers have experienced a complete or ‘1st time’ delivery failure. An alarmingly high number – and a problem that we at Shutl intend to solve!
The report goes on to state that 17 out of 100 deliveries are still not completed in line with the consumer’s ideal expectations.
Just how much more will we spend once the pains around delivery are overcome?

Today is a huge milestone for Shutl as we are finally unveiling our new venture to the world at the LeWeb conference in Paris. The team and I have been building up to this for over a year now and we’re seriously excited to finally be in a position to share our vision with you!
Whilst our journey is only now beginning, we firmly believe that Shutl will change eCommerce forever, eventually improving the lives of shoppers the world over. We just hope that you agree…
I’d like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has helped us get this far and give thanks in advance to those retailers, carriers and other supporters that will help us over the years to come.

18th November: European Tech Tour Web and Mobility Summit, Montreux.
Shutl went through a rigorous selection process of more than 400 companies and was chosen as one of the final 25 to represent the best of Web and Mobility start up talent in Europe. We even received the first trophy for our mantelpiece!
The event connects start-ups with the investor community, industry leaders and facilitates an exchange between like-minded entrepreneurs.
9th-10th December: LeWeb ‘09, Paris.
Shutl rubbed shoulders with some of the world’s biggest, best known internet businesses and introduced them to real time delivery for the real time Web!
LeWeb ‘09 was a great platform for officially launching Shutl. We were selected from 200 applicants as one of 16 companies to present to a panel of judges. Sadly, we didn’t win a prize – but we like to think we were a close runner up!
