Sweaty Betty chief technology officer Simon Pakenham-Walsh said: “Sweaty Betty has quickly grown from a small London boutique to an international business. During this process, we recognised the importance of providing a seamless and scalable omnichannel experience for our customers and store colleagues.

“We selected NewStore because its platform does not carry the complex technical debt of the industry’s legacy solutions, and the company’s vision aligns perfectly with our strategy, which includes having an extensible, modern and API-first technology stack.”

NewStore platform is now live on Sweaty Betty’s store locations and is expected to improve customers interaction with the brand.

The retailer will start rolling out additional omnichannel features in the next few months that will improve employee-shopper interaction.
