PriceCheck launches tech and e-commerce awards event
As the South African e-commerce market gains maturity and consolidation is seen, it becomes prudent to shed light on achievers in the space. Retailers big and small, tech businesses enabling e-commerce, and individuals driving growth and change, will be showcased at the PriceCheck Tech & E-Commerce Awards.
“Over the last ten years we have seen phenomenal growth in the e-commerce industry, in absolute numbers of buyers, and merchants,” says PriceCheck founder and CEO, Kevin Tucker. “At the same time, we’ve seen merchants rise and fall, come and go. These awards present us with a great opportunity to reward those that have stood the test of time and offered consumers great choice over the years, as well as the newcomers to the industry. In addition, we’ve decided to recognise the enablers and disruptors too.”
In November 2015, PriceCheck was acquired by Tucker and Click n Compare, from Naspers. With its newfound independence and revived drive for customer satisfaction, the PriceCheck Tech & E-Commerce Awards are set to be inclusive and fair, based on public opinion and the expertise of a carefully-selected panel of judges.
The awards event will be preceded by a number of events geared towards selecting the winners.
