Gordmans Stores Selects OLR to Implement Oracle Xstore POS to Drive Omnichannel Growth
OMAHA, Nebraska, October 28, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --
Gordmans Stores, Inc. (NASDAQ: GMAN) has engaged with OLR, a leading retail solutions
provider, to implement Oracle Retail Xstore Point of Sale (POS) and Oracle Retail Customer
Engagement as part of a multi-year program to bring next-generation retailing to the
Omaha-based apparel and home decor retailer.
Oracle's Xstore POS (acquired from Micros Retail in 2014) will help Gordmans to speed
up the checkout process for its guests through a reduction in manual entry for coupons,
discounts, promotions and vouchers. Other key advances include access to real-time
inventory levels across both stores and distribution centers. Native integration with
Oracle Retail Customer Engagement (formerly Micros Relate CR) will simplify the tracking
and offer redemption associated with Gordmans' popular gRewards loyalty program.
"Gordmans is celebrating its 100th anniversary this year. We are extremely proud of
our heritage in delighting guests with excellent customer service. The Oracle Retail
Xstore POS and Customer Engagement solutions will help us to meet the needs of our guests
more quickly and accurately, ensuring that their experience at Gordmans is outstanding,"
stated Richard Heyman, Gordmans' SVP & CIO.
The replacement of Gordmans' current POS system is part of a set of strategic
initiatives to deliver a platform to support omni-channel retail. In August, Gordmans
successfully launched its e-commerce platform, expanding its presence from 22 states to a
national footprint via online shopping at gordmans.com [http://www.gordmans.com ]. The
department store chain also is focusing on supply chain efficiency, a next generation POS
system, improvements to its guest loyalty program, and enhanced brand strategy and
positioning.
Dave Barrett, CEO of OLR stated, "Our clients, Gordmans included, need to have the
ability to effectively respond to rapidly-evolving consumer expectations. At OLR, we are
committed to helping retailers to not only streamline their operations, but to ultimately
deliver an outstanding brand experience at every touchpoint."
OLR has had a longstanding partnership with Gordmans. In 2012, OLR played an integral
role as system integrator in the successful deployment of the Oracle Retail Merchandising
System and they continue to provide managed application services for Gordmans. Heyman
stated, "OLR provides Gordmans with a breadth of experience covering the Oracle Retail
suite of products and combines it with detailed knowledge of each individual component. We
have developed a strong partnership and we have come to rely on their capabilities and
counsel."
Barrett continued: "Since OLR began working with Gordmans over five years ago, we've
seen them grow almost 40% -- as a partner it's very rewarding to see our clients succeed.
We're pleased that our own growth through the expansion into new practice areas, such as
point-of-sale, ecommerce and enterprise applications has supported Gordmans in pursuing
its vision of success."
