NewStore, the essential omnichannel store solution, today announced Burton Snowboards (Burton) is running its stores on the NewStore Omnichannel Platform. With a mobile point of service (mPOS) and inventory and fulfillment solutions available on iPhone apps, the snowboard company’s store guides will benefit from a more intuitive front-end experience. The NewStore platform also connects into Salesforce Commerce Cloud, allowing Burton a single unified view of its ecommerce and store operations at both the retail and HQ level.
“With NewStore, we have completely transformed the way we run our stores. Our associates are able to give customers the best possible experience with customer, product, and inventory data at their fingertips,” said Josee Larocque, Senior Vice President, DTC & Digital Transformation, Burton Snowboards. “As we reopen stores in North America following the COVID-19 pandemic, they will all run on NewStore — a strategic roadmap item in our plan to focus on our DTC business and the omnichannel customer experience in 2020 and beyond.”
NewStore is the first cloud platform that delivers Omnichannel-as-a-Service. It integrates customer, transaction, and inventory data with an omnichannel order broker, and makes that data available in real-time on intuitive store associate apps. A complete mobile point of service in the hands of associates means they can deliver personalized brand experiences through mobile checkout, endless aisle, store fulfillment, inventory management, and clienteling.
“COVID-19 has had a major impact on the retail industry, accelerating the need for omnichannel and a more integrated digital strategy. This was a vision and a plan already set forth by Burton as part of its 2020 digital transformation, and the timing couldn’t be better for us to go live,” said Stephan Schambach, Founder and CEO, NewStore. “As Burton reopens stores globally, it is able to serve customers safely and efficiently.”
