Positive ProStrategy Retail provide Unified Commerce solutions to clients in Ireland and Europe. They are planning significant growth over the next three years to match increasing consumer confidence and growth in the retail sector.
Positive ProStrategy Retail’s specialist focus is using Microsoft ERP technology with embedded Retail Specific functionality. Positive ProStrategy Retail (PPR) is the only indigenous company to offer end to end Retail Solutions from front office (EPOS and store management) to back office (finance, supply chain, replenishment, etc) and unifying external channels such as web, social and mobile.
PPR is a Gold Microsoft Partner with extensive analytics capabilities in their team and through the implementation of Planning and Analytics solutions help drive performance improvements in retailers such as Primark, BWG and Windsor Motors.
This announcement is testament to the ever-changing retail landscape and Ireland’s strong focus on technology. Unified Commerce has become core to retailers providing a great shopping experience for customers. Customers expect a unified shopping experience with features such as Click-and-Collect and recommendations for relevant products and services.
Unifying all commerce channels with the power of Artificial Intelligence, says Joe Kelly Director of Business Solutions, is a “must do” for Irish companies to compete with Global Retailers. Retailers need fast and accurate Analysis and Insights into shopping trends and day to day operations. Our technology enables our customers to do just this.
“The customer needs the experience they receive in store to be reflected throughout the entire retail estate, if you are excellent online you need to be excellent in store. Our Unified solution allows this process flow to be seamless and embedded.” – Damien O Driscoll Retail Technology Director.
“Good customers buy from you, but great customers keep coming back. More often than not, it’s the relationship the customer has with the retailer and its employees that makes a difference. Today’s analytics tools are able to pull in data from all parts of your business—plus external data such as demographics, share of wallet, and more—to create a more complete understanding of the customer.” John Coleman - Managing Director
