Gymboree transitions to mobile POS

As it creates new brick-and-mortar formats, Gymboree went in search of a flexible point-of-sale system. Now it has one.



The children’s specialty chain added a mobile POS system from Aptos — a move that enables store associates to engage shoppers throughout their store visit. Associates use the mobile devices to process secure transactions, manage inventory, and access order information — without ever leaving the customer’s side.



The chain will also use Aptos Enterprise Order Management, which will integrate with Aptos Store, to deliver a complete view of inventory, orders and more across sales channels. The order management solution also integrates with Gymboree’s existing e-commerce platform, allowing the chain to manage all orders throughout their lifecycle, from initiation to fulfillment and back, the company said.



“Aptos Store and Enterprise Order Management will give Gymboree a next-generation customer engagement platform to deliver a unified shopping experience that transcends channels,” said David Sondergeld, VP of IT and CIO at Gymboree. “The ability to bring an ‘endless aisle’ to our customers will ensure we never lose the opportunity to serve them and earn their loyalty.”
