Footwear

With thousands of products, customer demands related to fit and sizing, and stiff competition footwear retailers face unique challenges – on top of the complexities facing all retailers in today’s omnichannel world. You need solutions which are built for your industry and that will help you survive, scale and thrive.

Getting the right fit for your footwear technology

Footwear retail brings additionally complexities to an already challenging landscape. Customers have higher expectations about fit – so they want to be able to buy online and easily return, or go to a local store and try on the shoe of their choice. You need to be able to optimize where you store your stock across stores and distribution centres, how you enable fulfilment and returns; all whilst maintaining visibility of your product locations at a detailed level and offering customers a consistent quality brand experience online and instore.

The right footwear retail technology will help you:

Save the sale – when you don’t have all colours or sizes in store, offer easy purchase options for customers using reservation or shipping options
Empower your in-store sales staff – with “endless aisle” capability and enhanced product scanning capabilities
Footwear- specific capabilities – backroom runner functionality, service and repair offers
Offer a wide range of omnichannel delivery and return options
Project a single brand identity to your customer at any touchpoint
Deliver personalised experiences with rich online product content
Optimise inventory management from design to delivery
