Dropshipzone Wins Best Retail Innovation

14 NOVEMBER 2023

MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA– Australia’s B2B2C marketplace, Dropshipzone, has won Best Retail Innovation at the Finder Innovation Awards.

Now in its eighth year, the Finder Innovation Awards acknowledges excellence and creativity while recognising the impact of innovation across a range of industries.

The 15 categories celebrate new initiatives across banking, insurance, telecommunications, retail and more.

After judging nearly 200 entries, we are extremely excited to announce the winners of the 2023 Finder Innovation Awards.

“We're so grateful to win the award for Best Retail Innovation. Our Dropshipzone team works hard to make it easy to run an ecommerce business and we simply couldn't be prouder of the innovation they're bringing to market,” said John Barkle, General Manager of Dropshipzone.

In October 2022, Dropshipzone became a B2B2C marketplace, the first of its kind in Australia. This marked a new era, where the business shifted from inventory-led with one anchor supplier to a B2B platform with many suppliers, offered as a commission-based revenue model. 

The new Dropshipzone platform has proven the most efficient way to offer the right products at the right price to customers. 

For Suppliers, it means they’re able to reach a much larger audience without spending extra on marketing. For Retailers, they get more choice within a single platform, and the natural competition of a marketplace gives them better options. 

Chris Ellis, Finder Australia’s CEO, said the Awards celebrate the country’s most forward-thinking people and businesses.

“The Finder Innovation Awards set the benchmark for excellence and creativity in Australia by celebrating businesses that are constantly evolving their products and services,” said Ellis.

“This year’s entries brought forth some incredibly impressive ideas and approaches that have raised the standard for Australian businesses.

“We like to recognise those that challenge the status quo in order to improve the quality of products and services on offer in Australia.”
