Charlotte Russe Taps MICROS-Retail for a Comprehensive Omni-Channel Solution

WESTBORO, Mass., Sept. 11, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- MICROS-Retail, a division of MICROS Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: MCRS), and leading provider of retail technology for the specialty and general merchandise retail industry, is pleased to announce a partnership with the apparel and accessories retailer Charlotte Russe to develop and build a robust omni-channel solution as part of a revamp of its retail systems.

The MICROS-Retail solution covers all retail touchpoints with its products: Open Commerce Platform for eCommerce; Relate for customer relationship management; Xstore for point-of-sale; Locate for order brokering, hosting and managed services; and third-party applications for social media and more. The variety of solutions available and working together was a deciding factor for the retailer when choosing a solution provider.

"When searching for a best-of-breed platform for our online business, we decided to partner with MICROS-Retail because their omni-channel solution covered all of our needs," said Kim Miller, Charlotte Russe SVP eCommerce. "MICROS-Retail's omni-channel solution will allow us to deliver strong business growth while providing a unified experience for our customers across all channels."

While reinvigorating the look and feel of their site is important, Charlotte Russe first looked to find a solid foundation to build it upon. Their target demographic of millennials shop online as well as in-store — providing a multi-channel solution with continuity of experience will be influential in their overall success.

"We look forward to diving more deeply into our work with Charlotte Russe and are confident that our solution will help Charlotte Russe to meet their goals," said Jeremy Grunzweig, Chief Operating Officer at MICROS-Retail.  "The company is at an exciting point of expanding and envisioning its business and we are proud to be a part of these ventures."
