A Leading AI Inventory Solution: Swap Nominated in E-Commerce Tech at the Netty Awards

Swap Inc. has been nominated for the prestigious E-Commerce Tech Company of the Year category at the Netty Awards, thanks to their innovative service, Clear by Swap Global. Launched in response to the challenges brought about by rising tariffs and global trade disruptions, Clear offers e-commerce brands a vital solution to mitigate the costly effects of tariffs on both consumers and businesses. Through this unique offering, Swap has positioned itself as a key partner for global brands, helping them navigate complex international trade and logistics, all through an easy-to-use online platform.

Innovation and Differentiation

In the wake of tariffs and trade changes, particularly following the expiration of the de minimis loophole for Chinese-made goods, Swap introduced Clear—an AI-driven solution designed specifically to help e-commerce brands optimize their tariff strategies. This service ensures that brands are structured for full customs, tax, and legal compliance from day one, eliminating the costly errors often associated with international trade. Clear by Swap Global is powered by a trusted global logistics partner and guarantees 2-day delivery from both UK and EU warehouses, making it a crucial service for e-commerce businesses facing rising export costs in the U.S. market.

What sets Clear apart is its ability to provide a smart, tech-enabled solution that caters to e-commerce brands of all sizes. By offering enterprise-level tools in a simple, accessible online platform, Swap ensures that even small and medium-sized businesses can benefit from the same advantages as larger, more established companies. The service also prioritizes compliance, seamless fulfillment, and reliable delivery speeds, offering a comprehensive tariff optimization solution that addresses a critical pain point for modern brands.

Measurable Impact and Success

Swap’s Clear solution has already proven highly impactful for its clients. Since launching in 2022, the service has contributed to over $1.5 million in annual revenue within just the first nine months, with Swap partnering with over 100 brands. The impact on client operations has been significant as well. For example, AX Paris saved millions by streamlining their returns process, thanks to the implementation of Swap’s technology. This led to a 130% increase in customers choosing store credit over cash returns, and AX Paris’ customer experience team regained 203 minutes per request.

For LØCI, Swap enabled cross-border returns, recapturing lost revenue and helping the brand save hundreds of thousands of pounds. Additionally, Swap’s integration of exchange functionality and the ability to scale returns systems in a growing brand’s tech stack have further optimized operations for numerous companies. These success stories highlight how Swap’s innovative solution has not only improved supply chain management but also maximized client revenue and operational efficiency.

Creative Elements and Execution

The development and launch of Clear was marked by Swap’s swift response to changing trade policies. In just one week, Swap consolidated its resources to introduce a fully integrated product that was compatible with customers’ existing shipping accounts and commercial invoice printers. To educate their audience on the benefits of this new service, Swap rolled out a comprehensive marketing campaign, including a detailed marketing deck and a social media campaign, resulting in over 1 million audience impressions.

Swap’s rapid execution and strong creative marketing efforts have paid off—today, 50% of all of the company’s contracts include the Clear service, with more than 20 brands now live on the platform. These creative efforts, coupled with the service’s innovative features, have proven crucial in educating brands about tariff optimization and establishing Swap as a trusted partner for global e-commerce challenges.

Overall Excellence and Industry Advancement

By offering a service that helps businesses navigate the complexities of rising export costs, Swap is not only solving an immediate problem but also preparing brands for future shifts in global trade policy.
