The Retail Technology Innovation Hub (RTIH) Awards took place in London yesterday – and Sitoo, together with Varner and Zebra Technologies, was honored with the Editor’s Choice Award.
This special recognition is handpicked by RTIH Editor Scott Thompson, who selects standout entries from across all 20 award categories. It celebrates exceptional innovation, impact and collaboration – regardless of category winners.
The award recognizes the powerful partnership between Sitoo, Varner and Zebra Technologies. Together, the trio enabled the rollout of the Sitoo Unified Commerce Platform on Zebra mobile devices across nearly 500 Varner stores – transforming the in-store experience and redefining how physical retail can operate.
With Sitoo POS in hand, store associates now meet customers anywhere on the shop floor, check real-time stock and loyalty data, and complete transactions instantly. It’s retail with fewer queues, smoother Click & Collect, and more empowered teams.
The impact has been clear:
-
88.5% of staff rated Sitoo POS as highly user-friendly
-
93% of customers felt confident using mobile payments
Store associates reported improved workflows, better morale, and more rewarding day-to-day operations
“This award is extra special because it highlights the true impact of what we’ve built together. What we’ve achieved with Varner and Zebra Technologies is proof of what’s possible when innovation is built on trust, collaboration and shared goals. We’re incredibly proud to be recognized in this way.”
- Jens Levin, co-founder and CEO of Sitoo
The RTIH Editor’s Choice Award is a celebration of the people-first approach behind the project – and a testament to what can be achieved when technology meets teamwork.
