Take Physical Stores to the Next Level Strengthen your brand image and assist better your customers

The retail industry is experiencing a profound change in customers’ expectations and the way they

interact with brands, totally transparently across all available channels. Retailers should not fear this

and embrace the age of “powerful customers”, focusing on meeting these high and continuously

growing expectations.

Despite the fact that a growing number of consumers prefer to search and buy online, they still

want to see, touch and feel products before their final purchase decision. This explains the proliferation

of showrooming or the “clicks to bricks” phenomenon with pure online retailers moving to the physical

world in an attempt to constantly find ways to reach, interact and engage with customers, in ways

that digital still cannot. In this new reality, physical stores play a different role and have the capacity to

influence all purchasing decisions. The in-store shopping experience matters now more than ever.

The Openbravo Commerce Suite offers retailers a unique store solution including a responsive web

and mobile point of sale, with a broad set of assisted sale and inventory visibility capabilities that

enables retailers to deliver the promise of a great in-store experience and help to create an

emotional bond with customers. And all this supported by a complete back office functionality that

allows to keep all store operations under control.

• Assist customers and influence their buying decisions everywhere in the store

• Empower staff and train new employees in a matter of minutes

• Update prices and promotions in all stores and terminals immediately

• Prepare the store to become a truly multichannel hub

• Open stores and set up new terminals faster to support your growth plan or periods of

higher activity

• Gain visibility into store performance with detailed key performance indicators and reports that

will allow you to rapidly react to demand or customer behaviour changes

Keep Your Options Open for Future GrowthA flexible solution that offers multiple adoption choices

Keeping pace with fast-changing market and customer demands is a hard goal for retailers.

Business processes and structures that are well-suited to today’s challenges may not fit under the strain

of new demands and collapse in the short term due to multiple major company or market changes.

When growth plans call for doing things like expanding into new geographies, channels or adding new

products, retailers are struggling to see if they are flexible enough to support the new initiatives.

And they may notice that they got trapped by inflexible and unscalable business processes and systems.

With these challenges in mind, retailers need to adopt solutions able to effectively manage the

uncertainty that results from the need for continuous innovation and adaptation, which is the new

imperative for true competitiveness, while ensuring that prior investments are also protected.

The Openbravo Commerce Suite provides a flexible solution that can be adapted and can scale to

different adoption scenarios as long as business requirements evolve. It is suitable for midsize retailers

seeking a complete solution to manage the entire business, to larger organizations looking for a more

agile and flexible solution to enhance their physical store channel or to improve operations in some

specific geographies.

• Leverage prior investments reducing costs through fast, affordable integrations with your existing

legacy systems

• Easily integrate the online channel with the e-commerce platform of your choice to progress in your

omnichannel strategy

• Expand internationally with a solution that provides support to local country requirements

• Support your entire business or the entire business of a business unit or subsidiary with a complete

support from Customer Management to Operations and Financials

Innovate Faster with Lower RisksA future-proof technology platform to deliver omnichannel services

For retailers, innovation is no longer a nice to have, but a must. They need to build a solid foundation

to manage and maintain their business with lower risks, shifting towards a more dynamic, intuitive and

harmonized technology platform, that prepares them to seamlessly deploy new functionality and to

support new channels, while keeping costs and risks under control.

Many retailers still suffer today from severe limitations of their legacy systems that limit their capacity to

innovate and differentiate and decrease their chances of meeting the fast-changing customer

demands. To overcome these limitations, leading retailers are adopting new architectures that simplify

the way they must adapt to changes in an increasingly social, mobile, cloud and data-driven world.
