Flooid, a world-leader in retail unified commerce solutions, has opened a new Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) head office and innovation hub in Ingenuity House, Solihull.

Flooid provides retail software and solutions to enable transactions for some of the world’s biggest retailers. For nearly four-decades, Flooid has helped global grocery, convenience, fuel, fashion and specialty retail leaders to develop new ways to sell both online and off, while protecting their profits and delivering an impeccable customer experience.

Now, following rapid growth and after being acquired by Glory Global Solutions, Flooid has moved to a modern, high-tech collaboration space in Ingenuity House next to Birmingham Airport. Flooid’s new home has been kitted out with cutting-edge technology and an innovation briefing centre which allows customers to see, touch and understand how Flooid technology can prove a game-changer for their store operations.

Martyn Osborne, Chief Executive Officer – EMEA, Flooid, said:
“Ingenuity House is a highly-sustainable, state-of-the-art environment with some of the best transport infrastructure in the country.”

“Moving to this new office will help us further raise the bar on service levels and employee experience, while enlarging our talent pool and providing a warm and welcoming space for our customers and partners. We look forward to using our new home as a true collaboration hub and exciting innovation centre.

Flooid chose to locate to Ingenuity House within Solihull after being impressed by the local business infrastructure including the convenient road, rail and air networks. Flooid’s leaders have already hosted colleagues from Japan and the Americas and international clients and partners, bringing further interest and investment into the Solihull area.

Cllr Ian Courts, Leader of Solihull Council and Lead Member for Business and the Economy, said: “I’m delighted to welcome Flooid to the Borough, as they launch their brand-new retail innovation hub. The fact that a significant global technology pioneer like Flooid has chosen to invest in Solihull is testament to our business-friendly infrastructure and strategic UK Central location in the heart of the country. We’ll be working closely with Flooid to learn how we can support their continued success and attract more similar rapid-growth tech businesses – large and small – into our business community.”
