THE DELOREAN PROJECT

Applicants for the 2025 FWD LEAP Incubator Program

RoomReadi is waiting to hear whether they have been successful at acquiring a spot in the 2025 LEAP FWD Incubator Program delivered by ACS Labs and funded by the Queensland Government. What an opportunity to develop their technology stack and business model further!!!

Where did it start and what are they doing now?

RoomReadi was a DeLorean Project that was started by Jolie, Liana and Holly in 2024. They have gone onto take their retail technology startup to the next level in the real world, with support from some big industry heavy hitters such as RM Williams, Flagship and ghd. They are currently in the process of negotiating a validation project with a couple of Australian retailers who are prepared to install their prototype into their workflow so the team can validate the processes involved in the workflow, from online customer acquisition and data collection, to in-store notification protocols and product handling, to the in-store customer experience.

What is RoomReadi and how does it work?

RoomReadi is redefining the retail experience by giving customers back their most valuable asset—time. We seamlessly blend the convenience of online shopping with the tangible advantages of in-store experiences, creating a new standard in retail that benefits both consumers and retailers. With RoomReadi, shoppers enjoy the ease of digital browsing without the environmental cost of excess packaging, while retailers welcome 'warm leads' into their stores, ensuring a more meaningful and sustainable shopping experience. It’s truly the best of both worlds.

Founded by young innovators Jolie Veit, Liana Boss, and Holly Zielinski, RoomReadi was born from a shared passion for shopping and a commitment to making a positive impact. By combining the speed and efficiency of online shopping with the tactile satisfaction of in-person purchases, we’re transforming how people shop; saving time, reducing waste, and enhancing convenience.

Guided by our core values of integrity, innovation, and sustainability, RoomReadi is more than a service, it’s a movement towards a smarter, more sustainable retail future. Join us in revolutionising the way the world shops.

In practical terms, the customer shops online on the retailers website once they have selected their products, rather then clicking 'Add to Cart', the customer clicks 'Reserve with RoomReadi', enters their personal details, and reserves a time to try on the garments/products in-store. The retailer gets a notification of the reserved time and the garments chosen and then curates a personalised customer experience for that customer, hopefully leading to a higher value transaction. Customer has saved time, retailer has made more money, and significantly less packaging waste is used in the transaction as there are is shipping required.
