In this episode, I speak with Alice Fitch, the Founder of Whola.  Alice Fitch is a dynamic entrepreneur with a successful history running fashion wholesale businesses. Her company Whola is transforming the way business is done in this legacy industry, leveraging the latest technologies and automation. The Whola platform is a one-stop-wholesale shop that has been embraced by 5000 retailers around Australia and internationally who use it to do their fashion buying. Alice’s mission is to make life better for retailers by making their stores instantly relevant to their target markets without the risk of traditional fashion buying.
