Shopgate,
Inc. today announced the launch of a new suite of modern commerce
solutions designed to activate the vision of innovative retailers
pursuing an omnichannel strategy. These solutions will help retailers
drive in-store traffic, lift revenue, and create the ultimate customer

the Shopgate Connect platform, these new commerce solutions are
specifically designed for the custom needs and extensibility of

Offering true omnichannel experiences with mobile as the centerpiece
will continue to be the new normal for savvy retailers. Omnichannel
strategies - including cross-channel capabilities, robust mobile app
features and multiple fulfillment options - are a must for retailers who
want to drive consumers in-store and turn their physical locations into
highly efficient fulfillment centers. According to Shopgate's recent
omnichannel retailer study, nearly 70% of retailers say omnichannel
retailing is a priority in 2019. The Shopgate survey also reports that
BOPIS, mobile apps and clienteling rank the highest in retailer
priorities, indicating the need for a commerce solution that fulfills
the "anywhere, anytime" shopping experience that consumers are demanding.
"Retailers must have the ability to offer consumers a seamless
omnichannel experience throughout all touchpoints. That doesn't stop
with buying on mobile. It must include connecting to brick-and-mortars
for clienteling-powered personal consultations and the ability to pick
up and return items in-store," said Marc Biel, CEO, Shopgate. "We are
thrilled to introduce this new suite of modern commerce solutions to
give forward-thinking retailers game-changing results with an
easy-to-use, customizable and cost-effective platform."
Additionally, in early 2018, Shopgate launched a new partner program to
certify and onboard technology and solutions providers in anticipation
of the new omnichannel solutions. The partner program is designed for
systems integrators, technology providers, and eCommerce platforms who
are committed to delivering world-class commerce solutions to their
customers. Shopgate's certified early-access partners include Echidna,
Adeo
Web, DEPlabs,
Ignitiv,
and Atmosol.
