Off-price apparel chain revamps the front end

Forman Mills is on a growth spurt — now it needs its point-of-sale (POS) to grow with it.



The off-price retailer has grown from a single store to a 36-store chain of “big box” warehouse-style stores across multiple states. As the retailer enters its next stage of expansion in connection with a recent investment from New York-based Goode Partners LLC, Forman Mills needed a front end solution that could support its growth, and drive more efficient checkout processes.



The chain turned to Aptos Singular Commerce suite of retail technology solutions. The cloud-based suite of solutions will help the chain roll out the new POS to its new locations faster and more efficiently.



“The Aptos Singular Commerce platform will enable us to better serve our customers through a faster and more efficient checkout process, and provide us tools to match assortment and store inventory allocations to customer needs,” said Allen Weinstein, executive chairman and interim CEO of Forman Mills. “The Aptos cloud delivery model also eliminates the need for significant infrastructure and hosting investment.”
