Swap

Swap is redefining e-commerce by building a pioneering agentic commerce platform that helps direct-to-consumer (DTC) brands manage complex global operations, including cross-border shipping, returns, and inventory. The platform, Swap Storefront, transforms static websites into interactive storefronts, guiding customers through discovery, recommendations, and purchase using an intelligent AI agent. This agent proactively suggests items and offers a digital twin option for visualizing fit and style, enabling instant purchasing via chat or voice and eliminating redirects. Swap Storefront integrates seamlessly with a brand’s existing commerce stack, providing a net-new AI channel without requiring infrastructure rebuilds. This innovation has delivered strong results for participating brands. For example, Eleven Loves, after implementation, experienced conversion rates up to 2x higher, 3x longer time on site, and a 20% reduction in returns. Furthermore, Eleven Loves saw a 22% increase in Average Order Value (AOV) and a baseline Conversion Rate (CVR) of 3.83%, more than double their original rate. Swap’s success lies in its merchant-first approach and vision to define a new category, moving commerce from static sites to a curated, decision-driven experience.

Temu

Temu launched in the United States in September 2022 to connect millions of consumers with sellers worldwide. It has since expanded to over 90 markets and become one of the world’s most visited e-commerce platforms. In 2024, Temu introduced its Local Seller Program, now active in more than 30 markets, including the UK, allowing businesses to sell and fulfil orders locally.

By reducing the number of intermediary steps between producer and consumer, Temu lowers costs for both sides – shoppers pay less, and businesses of all sizes get a low-cost channel to reach a global audience. Onboarding is rigorous and efficient, with half of new sellers making their first sale within 20 days. Temu prioritises products with positive consumer feedback, enabling smaller businesses to thrive with greater visibility and wider reach.

Temu works with 150-plus EU delivery providers and 10 national postal services to lower the cost and complexity of cross-border shipping. As it continues to localize its operations across Europe, it expects to contribute billions of euros to logistics partners this year.

Seller case studies highlight strong sales growth and reach. Overall, Temu positions itself as a cost-effective, accessible platform for sellers while ensuring a reliable shopping experience for consumers.
