EVRYTHNG announced Diageo, a British alcoholic beverages company, as its first customer in October 2012. EVRYTHNG created a digital identity for Diageo's whiskey brands in Brazil, Chile, Venezuela, Australia, Eastern Europe and Vietnam.[2]

In 2013, global analyst group Frost & Sullivan awarded EVRYTHNG’s IoT platform a New Product Innovation Best Practice award.[3]

In April 2014, EVRYTHNG secured US$7 million in a series-A investment round from Atomico, BHLP LLC, Dawn Capital and Cisco Investments.[4] Later that year, the company received an undisclosed amount of funding from Samsung Ventures Investment Corporation.[5] In 2014, EVRYTHNG received the best IoT start-up of the year recognition from The Europas, a subsidiary event from TechCrunch.[6] The company was voted IoT Breakout Startup of the Year in 2014 and 2015 by Postcapes awards.[7]

In March 2017, EVRYTHNG raised $24.8 million Series B round of funding.[8] The Series B round was led by Sway Ventures and included participation from new investors BLOC Ventures and Generation Ventures.

EVRYTHNG was one of the first companies to support the GS1 Digital Link standard, upgrading the barcode and GTIN to a web address format, with the first iteration of the standard launched in 2018.[9]  EVRYTHNG co-founder and CTO Dom Guinard has co-chaired the GS1 Digital Link working group since its inception.

In 2019 Ralph Lauren became a customer of EVRYTHNG to digitize its product portfolio, rolling out the EVRYTHNG Product Cloud into all factories and across its product range.[10]

EVRYTHNG was selected by the World Economic Forum as a Technology Pioneer in 2018.[11] In 2020 the World Economic Forum named EVRYTHNG a Global Innovator.[12] That same year, EVRYTHNG won Fast Company's World Changing Ideas Award.[13]
