Spyrosoft joins the British Retail Consortium: Deepening our commitment to UK retail innovation

Spyrosoft is now a member of the British Retail Consortium (BRC) – the UK’s leading trade association for retail. This marks a significant step in our journey to support retailers with technology, insights, and key partnerships.

As a technology company working closely with retailers across Europe and the UK, we understand that the future of retail depends on intelligent digital transformation; not innovation for its own sake, but innovation rooted in the realities of operations, regulation, and customer behaviour. Becoming part of the BRC helps us to do this.

Strengthening the connection between technology and retail

Retail is changing at pace. From the acceleration of e-commerce and data-driven marketing to the push for sustainable and transparent supply chains, retailers are rethinking every link in their value chain. The BRC plays a vital role in shaping policy, defining standards, and creating dialogue between the private sector, government, and technology providers.
By joining, Spyrosoft becomes part of that ecosystem, ensuring that our work reflects both the strategic priorities and the day-to-day challenges facing modern retailers. Whether it’s delivering intelligent data platforms, optimising logistics systems, or developing customer experience technology, we’ll now have the added perspective and collaboration that comes from being part of the UK’s retail trade body.

A word from our UK Retail Director

Retail is a sector that never stands still, and neither should its technology partners,” says David Perks, UK Retail Director at Spyrosoft. “Joining the BRC reinforces our long-term commitment to the retail community. It gives us the ability to listen more closely to the issues retailers are grappling with, from sustainability reporting and omnichannel experience to automation and AI ethics, and to co-create solutions that are genuinely relevant.
For our clients, this means they gain a partner who is not only building technology, but also actively contributing to the conversations that shape the future of retail in the UK.

What this means for our clients

Our membership will help us to deliver real, measurable benefits for our retail clients, now and in the future. Through our membership, they will benefit from:

Early access to insight and regulation updates

The BRC works at the forefront of retail policy and practice. Through this membership, Spyrosoft gains direct access to the latest insights on consumer data, supply chain standards, ESG reporting, and industry benchmarks, enabling our clients to stay compliant and competitive.

Collaboration and co-innovation opportunities

We’ll be engaging with BRC working groups and innovation initiatives that bring together retailers, technology providers, and industry leaders. For our clients, that means access to technology shaped through collaboration – practical, forward looking, and informed by the needs of the sector.

Alignment with retail priorities

From customer personalisation and loyalty systems to warehouse automation and data governance, our solutions will now be built with close alignment to the themes guiding the BRC’s work: productivity, trust, sustainability, and transformation.

Increased visibility and partnership potential

As a BRC member, Spyrosoft joins a trusted network representing the most influential voices in the UK retail sector. For clients, it’s an added layer of assurance that their technology partner is recognised within the sector, adheres to best practice, and contributes to shared standards of excellence.

Proactive response to emerging challenges

Whether it’s adapting to digital consumer rights, integrating AI responsibly, or managing the environmental footprint of operations, our membership enables us to anticipate change rather than react to it. That foresight translates into smarter solutions and more resilient retail systems for our clients.

Looking ahead

The retail industry is entering a period of profound transformation shaped by new technologies, evolving consumer expectations, and growing regulatory and environmental pressures. Spyrosoft’s membership in the British Retail Consortium enables us to contribute directly to this evolution, ensuring that the solutions we build are informed by the conversations shaping the future of retail.
As part of the BRC community, we’ll be actively participating in forums and discussions around digitalisation, sustainability, and retail strategy – sharing our perspective as a technology partner while learning from the expertise of leading UK retailers.

“This is an opportunity to bridge insight with action,” adds David, “By combining our engineering capabilities with the BRC’s sector-wide vision, we can help retailers implement technology that’s not just modern, but meaningful.”
