L’Oréal invests in Omnichannel structure

L’Oreal chose Retail Pro as a strong omnichannel backbone for its Korean market. Retail Pro seamlessly integrated their e-commerce and ordering solution to its back office inventory management functionality, building the mission-critical solution for a successful omnichannel operation.

Samsonite and Philipp Plein unify data across the enterprise

Samsonite chose Retail Pro for their Latin American stores to gain POS consistency and unify data across the enterprise, as they were using four different POS solutions in five different countries. Another key factor for choosing Retail Pro was the ability to interface with both their current ERP and their planned ERP, SAP All-In-One. Samsonite uses Epicor as the global solution, but has decided that Retail Pro is the better solution for the Latin American market.

Philipp Plein implemented Retail Pro in their stores across multiple countries for Retail Pro International’s long-standing position among luxury brands, and the localized, yet internationalized data management, configuration, and support of Retail Pro software.
