Australian footwear retailer Munro Footwear Group (MFG) has partnered with mobile-first omnichannel Cloud platform NewStore to optimise its store shopping experience.
As part of this partnership, NewStore will integrate its mobile point-of-sale (POS) across MFG’s five retail banners.

NewStore designed the platform such that brands can use its omnichannel order management system (OMS) or integrate it with an external OMS.
The platform gives store associates access to all order and inventory data through an iPhone.
When integrated with MFG’s external OMS, team members will be able to assist and process in-store and aisle transactions from different floors of the store using the same mobile device.
