You’ve heard of farfetch.com - the world’s leading global luxury marketplace. But did you know there’s another team within FARFETCH reshaping luxury digital commerce? Meet FARFETCH Platform Solutions (FPS). 

True luxury pushes the boundaries of what's possible. Since the inception of the earliest couture houses, luxury brands have existed as bastions of creativity and innovation. 

To keep up with the 73% of consumers who shop across multiple channels, luxury brands are reprioritizing their growth strategies - trading new store openings for best-in-class technology solutions.

In the past, exceptional in-store experiences were enough to engage customers. However, with more channels to connect with luxury retailers than ever, consumers expect their favorite brands to be accessible anytime and anywhere.

But luxury retailers aren't technology companies. 

They're experts in designing, producing, and selling exclusive, high-end goods and services - and we love them for it. To achieve long-term success, however, bridging this digital gap is essential.

That's where FARFETCH Platform Solutions (FPS) comes in. 

As the only technology platform built for the luxury industry, our technology, and unparalleled expertise enable industry leaders like Harrods and Off-White to bring their visions for the next generation of luxury experiences to life. 

Our Solutions

While most luxury brands and retailers have visions for the future of their retail offerings, they lack the technical expertise to actualize their goals. 

As both a luxury native and technology-driven business, FPS was built at the intersection of luxury and technology to bring these goals to life. Eight years post-launch, we're still innovating at this crossroads and delivering solutions that scale luxury brands and retailers into the digital realm. 

Put simply, FPS delivers a collection of digital commerce solutions tailored exclusively to luxury retail.

Blending scalable technology solutions with unparalleled expertise, our solutions solve key retailer and brand pain points, including:

• Elevating consumer experiences to enrich and connect luxury experiences across online and offline touchpoints 
• Optimizing and streamlining infrastructure to develop more intuitive end-to-end commerce management through a single partner
• Advancing digital strategy to create luxury experiences that meet customer’s current and future needs

• Ecosystem Integrations: Our platform ecosystem includes third-party solutions designed and developed with the same laser focus on the luxury industry as our own. From AI size and fit plug-ins to resale-specific technology, our ecosystem integrations provide access to a broader variety of cutting-edge retail technology.

Most importantly, FPS seamlessly integrates with your business to become a part of your internal team. Our in-house experts work closely with retail and brand partners to share industry insight, provide feedback, and create tailor-made solutions to tackle their unique challenges together.

Our Future

While it may be difficult to imagine a life before online shopping, eCommerce is still in its infancy. Today, one in every five retail purchases is made online, and with new platforms for commerce arising daily, the industry is growing at record speed.    

When we launched FPS in 2015, we set out to enable luxury brands' expansion into digital commerce. Since then, our best-in-class technological toolkit and expert team have helped dozens of brands and retailers pave the future of luxury retail.

Moving forward, we've maintained our focus on bringing the latest technological innovations to our partners around the globe. As luxury customers look to retailers to not only set trends but lead the way for technological innovation, we’re delivering the best-in-class super apps, VR tools, AI integrations, and more that brands need to pave the future of luxury.
