Teamwork Retail Provides a True Cloud and iOS Omni-Channel Solution for Global Retailers

Teamwork Retail Provides a True Cloud and iOS Omni-Channel Solution for Global Retailers

CLEARWATER, Fla.–()

Teamwork Retail® (a product of Retail Cloud Technologies®) has created an iOS mobile offering that provides retailers with frictionless commerce.

Teamwork offers a complete suite of iOS applications that run exclusively on iPads, iPhones, and iPods for all aspects of store operations including point of sale, shopper display, analytics, dashboard, shipments, time card, stock count, and interactive kiosks. The success of these products and its architectural strengths is why Teamwork has recently been selected to join a program with Apple and other retail industry leaders.

Teamwork Retail markets to multi-location retailers doing $2MM-$2B in annual revenue. Teamwork Retail is not just about POS, but is a full retail management system empowering retailers to truly deliver the omni-channel customer experience.

When asked about this opportunity, Michael Mauerer, CEO of Teamwork Retail, said, “Retail is fundamentally changing with the times, as it has done throughout history when technological changes bring forth new possibilities to engage with customers. Mobile technology has changed the way customers interact with merchants and it was Apple that brought the world a profound mobility platform that is second to none. Apple has ushered in a new chapter of commerce and created fundamental change for the better. Teamwork Retail embraced the Apple mobile platform from day one and has built a suite of applications that truly harness the power of mobility for every day retail.”

Teamwork Retail’s clients such as Alexander Wang, Gilt, Foxhead, Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory, Giggle, The Row, Trademark, Haute Hippie, Peace Love World, and Rebecca Minkoff, make it clear that Teamwork Retail is rapidly becoming adopted as an industry leader by the most demanding and forwarding thinking retailers in the world.

The goal is clear and is now being realized: Make commerce fluid by providing an extremely light technology footprint at the store level that provides access to the tremendous power of cloud computing. This is achieved not through a single application but via a suite of mobile applications that stealthily bring ‘technology to the function’ instead of ‘the function to the technology’ as in a traditional retail environment.

Having created four retail management systems, over three decades, Mr. Mauerer stated, “Today we have in our hands the capability to truly bring frictionless commerce to merchants and consumers alike. This was never before possible but is now a reality using a cloud and mobile platform. It is a rewarding feeling to finally deliver on the promise of technology to the retail entrepreneurs of the world.”

Teamwork Retail has deployed thousands of Apple devices serving retailers in several countries throughout the world and growing rapidly.

Creating a Unified Commerce Experience: Teamwork + ShippyPro

Creating a Unified Commerce Experience: Teamwork + ShippyPro

U.S Retail Challenges

“It is scary, it is a big investment. It is scary to learn something new and change over what you are used into a new system.”

The extensive array of inventory, varied needs of order management, and complexities around the actual customer experience create a high barrier to entry for retailers. There is no guarantee that the investment will pay off, or that retailers will be able to resolve all of their issues with one system. Retailers are often hesitant to take the next step. But, the reality is that many retailers have already taken steps towards Omnichannel. Using mobile points of sale, having points of purchase on multiple channels, or using member apps to take payments or schedule orders are pieces to the puzzle. A lot of these technologies are already being used by retailers. But, they have not always worked together. Omnichannel is about creating an ecosystem where retailers can feel confident to create new solutions for their customers knowing they are backed by innovation and a secure, reliable framework for long term growth. From point of purchase to fulfillment, the process needs to be seamless, transparent and consistent to prevent friction & loss of customers in the process.

The Holistic View

“You have to be able to know your customer, you have to be able to see what they bought online, what they bought in store, their past histories, if they want to be able to return without a receipt or buy a gift card”

What Amber is referencing here is the Seamless Customer Experience. For Omnichannel retailers to succeed, they have to empower a genuine relationship with customers. Retail staff have to easily be able to access information about the customers at the POS to understand the specific customer, provide needed support and enable a seamless transaction process. This detailed view needs to be paired with analytics and consistent updates to enable an effective purchasing process. The customers needs, behaviors and orders have to be centrally monitored and accessible to reduce the friction that exists within the purchase process.

Omnichannel Drives Revenue

“Not only have sales increased because of customer experience, they are also not losing sales. They no longer have to send customers to an online location.”

Customers don’t slip through the cracks, customers want the product when they want it… they don’t want to wait until the product is available in store again. The product needs to be readily locatable, need a different size/color/style…. No problem? Having a detailed viewpoint of current inventory across warehouses, store fronts and back rooms is not optional anymore. Retailers need to instantly fulfill the product somehow, taking the purchase at the point of sale and fulfilling the order in a manner that is convenient for customers. This customer centric approach to retail is crucial for retailers to stay competitive, these processes need to be focused on the needs of consumers but supported by an extensive integration ecosystem that drives functionality and simplicity throughout the purchase process.

Teamwork Commerce + ShippyPro

Teamwork Commerce is the brain for retailers, while the solution has a wide range of features, it does not resolve every issue for every retailer, legacy systems, existing implementations and niche requirements present challenges for retailers. The need for a wide range of flexible integrations is critical. The addition of ShippyPro into the Teamwork Commerce platform was a natural choice. The solution has been whitelabelled into the Teamwork application for certain clients enabling an efficient fulfillment system, leveraging ShippyPro’s integration network to centralize shipping, easily print labels and monitor shipments at every stage using webhooks. Shippypro is the easiest way to ship, track and return your orders.
