The cloud helps an athletic specialty footwear retailer score stronger customer engagement
Warehouse Shoe Supply (WSS) is taking steps to ensure it keeps customer-centricity front and center — even as it expands its breadth.
The athletic specialty footwear retailer stays true to the roots of every neighborhood it operates in. Combined with a customer-centric strategy, WSS is able to understand who different customers are, what they want and why they buy — giving the company the opportunity to engage customers differently. However, this task is getting more difficult as WSS expands into new markets.
By deploying a cloud-based platform from Aptos, the 76-store omnichannel retailer can maintain authentic customer engagements through all stores, even as it expands its store footprint. The end-to-end suite, which took less than a year to complete, supports point-of-sale, order management, customer relationship management, merchandising, sales audit and digital commerce.
In addition to maintaining an efficient implementation timeframe, the cloud-based platform increased the company’s speed-to-market, further accelerating WSS’ store expansion, according to the WSS.
“Our customer-centric approach to retail, and now omnichannel, allows our customers to interact with the WSS brand seamlessly, whether in store or online,” said Rick Mina, WSS president.
