| Snap It Limited | Snap-It is a B2B digital marketplace for tradesmen, which facilitates the delivery of materials and parts, from merchants to tradesmen, within 30 minutes. Tradesmen lose an average of £47,000 in revenue annually due to sourcing and collecting spare parts whilst on a job. This is due to the huge variety of potential parts required, making itimpossible to come prepared for any eventuality, having to find a supplier nearby that stocks the required part, and then spending time in traffic collecting the part. This all leads to missing out on billable hours but also means customers have to wait for their jobs to be completed. Snap-It allows tradesmen to continue working whilst the parts are delivered to them, meaning more hours billed and jobs completed quicker for customers. | $2.3M | Seed | Oct 06, 2022 |  |
