We partner with leading retailers to support and exceed the evolving needs of their customers.

Awayco helps retailers to simplify and integrate their technology services, providing infrastructure to innovate at scale and speed.

With roots in the circular economy, Awayco began as a solution offering rental surf products to those who wanted to consume by leasing, rather than buying.

We’ve pivoted to meet a gap in the market, with retailers seeking support to innovate and grow through technology.
