Crate and Barrel joins other innovative retailers in the co-development of Infor CloudSuite Retail, a new software product designed to deliver superior interactions for both store associates and consumers, and to provide a modern foundation that unleashes the power of omni-channel retailing and around unlimited attributes feeding machine learning.
“When the opportunity arose to work alongside Infor to create a next generation system built upon 21st century thinking, we were excited,” Mike Relich, Chief Operating Officer, Crate and Barrel said in a ststement. “Infor’s end user approach to development will be combined with our knowledge of what goes into unique product offerings to produce a user experience that is not only beautiful but one that allows us to disrupt the industry.”
In the age of easy access to information, providing consistent, accurate, and engaging product information across multiple touchpoints is paramount to successfully interacting with today’s consumers.
