Our team

SKUvantage was founded in 2012 from a recognition of the need to solve the problem of product content for retailers and their suppliers. We have since grown to a substantial team of committed, conscientious and customer-focused colleagues. Our reviews speak to our team’s dedication to customer satisfaction.

Our skills encompass product content creation (photography, data and video), production management, customer service, data analysis, copywriting, editing, technology development, and helping our clients get the most out of product content. Our services cover SKUvantage, SKUlibrary and SKUcapture, delivering a full suite of solutions to retailers, suppliers and their business partners. We are the only organisation we know of with such a comprehensive, one-stop shop solution for solving product content, in Australia and possibly the world (really!).
