Retailers have long faced hurdles in offering a seamless interaction between online and brick-and-mortar. Connecting legacy systems and outdated technologies is time-consuming and cumbersome, creating friction behind the curtains and on the store floor. With NewStore, retailers operate a seamless end to end experience across all touchpoints, unlocking in-store revenue drivers including endless aisle, mobile checkout, store inventory and clienteling.

“We’ve witnessed an interesting life cycle in retail over the last few decades. Brands have pivoted between channels, trying to meet shoppers where they are. But today’s shoppers are everywhere, and don’t see in channels, which is why omnichannel is a strategic imperative,” said Stephan Schambach, Founder and CEO, NewStore. “It’s not easy to operate stores in today’s digitally-driven world. Despite stores being a source of great frustration, they also represent a major opportunity. NewStore is the most complete and compelling solution for retailers.”
