The UK fashion industry faces challenges of excessive clothing consumption, environmental impact, and operational inefficiencies. Fashion rental businesses offer a solution by promoting a circular model where clothes are rented, returned, and rented again. McKinsey estimates that 1 in 5 garments need to be traded through a circular model for the fashion industry to hit its climate targets.Some rental platforms have seen significant growth, yet large-scale adoption by major retailers is hindered by operational and logistical issues. Many brands rely on inadequate software solutions, and established brands resist third-party rental sites due to concerns relating to pricing and customer control and are unable to make necessary large investments to update their legacy systems.Zoa proposes an innovative solution with a purpose-built "Operating System". This Zoa-OS can be embedded as a "rent-now" button into any retailer's website via a simple code snippet. Seemingly simple in the frontend, Zoa-OS manages all complex background processes, integrates with warehousing, fulfilment, and cleaning providers, and offers a comprehensive analytics and reporting solution. Zoa-OS is a full-service solution enabling "rental-as-a-service" for any fashion brand. It streamlines the rental process, improves the customer journey, reduces implementation time, and addresses the complex operational challenges of fashion rental.

英国时装业面临着服装消费过度、环境影响和运营效率低下的挑战。时装租赁企业通过推广一种循环模式提供了一种解决方案，在这种模式下，衣服被租出去，归还，然后再租出去。麦肯锡估计，五分之一的服装需要通过循环模式进行交易，以使时装业达到其气候目标。一些租赁平台已经出现了显着增长，但主要零售商的大规模采用受到运营和物流问题的阻碍。许多品牌依赖不充分的软件解决方案，而知名品牌则出于定价和客户控制方面的担忧而抵制第三方租赁网站，并且无法进行必要的大量投资来更新其遗留系统。Zoa提出了一种具有专门构建的创新解决方案“操作系统”。这个Zoa-OS可以通过一个简单的代码片段嵌入到任何零售商的网站上，作为一个“立即租赁”按钮。Zoa-OS的前端看似简单，但它可以管理所有复杂的后台流程，与仓储、履行和清洁供应商集成，并提供全面的分析和报告解决方案。Zoa-OS是一个全方位的服务解决方案，为任何时尚品牌提供“租赁即服务”。它简化了租赁流程，改善了客户旅程，减少了实施时间，并解决了时装租赁的复杂运营挑战。
