"Mi9 Retail and Raymark have been moving forward on parallel lines for a number of years, so the acquisition of Raymark by Mi9 Retail will bring a new depth to the solutions that serve the apparel and specialty verticals," said Joe Skorupa, Editor-in-Chief, RIS News.
The acquisition of Raymark will enable Mi9 Retail to serve a larger base of retailers and broaden its offering to include the best retail specific customer-centric applications on the market. Raymark's mobile point of sale, mobile inventory management and clienteling solutions are designed to enhance customer engagement and augment the customer experience with real-time visibility into product and customer data across all channels.
"Consumer expectations for seamless shopping experiences are placing new operational burdens on stores to support new customer-led business models. Store associates, in particular, must be able to serve and support critical cross-channel processes — such as order management, inventory management, replenishment and returns — while also having access to the same types of information and insight customers leverage throughout the shopping process," stated Kelsie Marian, Principal Research Analyst with the Gartner Industry Advisory Services team.1
"The combination of Mi9 Retail and Raymark is game changing for the retail industry," said Mi9 Retail President Neil Moses. "Consistent with the industry trends reported by leading analysts, we sought to combine with Raymark to offer the most robust end-to-end solutions on the market, all based on modern technology, to empower virtually any type of retailer in the world to innovate how they manage inventory, employees and customer interactions."
Marc Chriqui, President, Raymark stated, "Today is an exciting day for Raymark's customers. The resources that Mi9 Retail brings will enhance our customers' ability to innovate, modernize and scale."
