No more cash on delivery

After a successful trial we are delighted to be expanding our ‘no more cash on delivery’ service to suppliers. Due to the pandemic there has been a massive swing towards contactless deliveries throughout the retail and hospitality sectors.

This desire for contactless and cashless transactions has driven us to help our partner suppliers by offering to take on any customers that have shown a desire for this type of service.

Additionally the suppliers benefit from:

• Never having to worry about taking payment at delivery ever again
• OMS will guarantee payment every time
• Consolidate all these payments into one invoice to OMS
• Saves time and gives added security

Suppliers who opt in to this service benefit from Orders Made
Simple handling all the payment collection and all the admin, making things simpler for suppliers and customers alike.

SFC investment

Orders Made Simple are thrilled to announce significant investment by SFC Capital which are a leader in the UK’s early stage investment world, providing seed capital and support to promising British startups just like OMS!

The total funding round was for a total of £200,000 and was led by SFC – it also included a number of other parties. Which gives us the ability to expand what we are doing and reach more areas of the UK.

Read more about it here in the Scotsman.

Stephen Scurr, OMS Founder & CEO“I am absolutely delighted to announce that OMS has secured a 6 figure sum in our latest funding round from SFC Capital. Orders Made Simple’s strategy from the very beginning has always been to prove our concept in our home city of Edinburgh and then grow from there. Over the past 18 months we have gone from just an idea to an MVP and then to proving the concept of Orders Made Simple works. Now is the time to grow our offering into more cities around the UK and help more businesses save time and money on their stock ordering. This investment SFC now allows us to do just that, expand through the UK and help many more businesses to revolutionise their stock ordering“.

Ed Stevenson, SFC Investment Executive“SFC were delighted to have led OMS’ latest funding round. The team is working on a fantastic product that is aimed at a significant section of the market that is currently inadequately served by the current solutions. With the hospitality industry having suffered in recent months, there has never been a better time for their solution to improve bottom lines across the sector. We are excited about what the future holds for the company”.
