3Squared celebrates award for App that helps independent retailers


Software development company 3Squared is celebrating after winning the Meadowhall Distinction in Retail Services Award at the Sheffield Business Awards recently.

The judging panel chose 3Squared as the winner of the prestigious award after the company developed an App and iBeacon technology, which are helping independent retailers to compete with national chains. Charlie Webster, TV presenter, hosted the ceremony, which was held at Ponds Forge in Sheffield last week, where James Fox from 3Squared was presented with the award by Mark Bruce, Retail Director at Meadowhall.

James Fox, Commercial Director at 3Squared, who developed the Retail App, said: “We are delighted to have won the Retail Services Awards at the Sheffield Business Awards.  It is fantastic to work with independent retailers to use the latest technology to make their businesses more successful and competitive and we hope the App will do this for many more retailers in the future.”

The App, which has been approved by Apple, allows customers to shop online and have their goods delivered at their convenience, to homes within the local area. The App also allows independent stores to develop tailored marketing campaigns through iBeacon technology, which transmits Bluetooth signals and allows mobile phone users to pick up messages about special offers and promotions, enticing shoppers into store.

The Sheffield Business awards recognise business success in the Sheffield city region and cover 14 categories which reflect the region’s expertise and skills.
