Department stores and lifestyle retailers are built on choice. The challenge is keeping that choice organised behind the scenes, so staff can keep serving customers without getting lost in stock, pricing or product admin.
A customer may come in for a handbag, browse homeware, ask about a size in clothing, buy a gift card and arrange for a larger item to be collected later. To them, that is one visit.
Behind the scenes, the business is managing departments, suppliers, variants, seasonal ranges, customer accounts, promotions, returns, staff permissions and reporting. Storefront is designed to bring those moving parts into one clearer retail platform.
Objective: The aim is to avoid making a distinctive store feel like a chain. We want to give your team better control, so the service you provide to customers can stay personal.
Support for purchase ordering, deliveries and stock movement so new ranges get from supplier to shop floor more smoothly.
Manage departments, suppliers, barcodes and product variations across fashion, home, gifts and lifestyle ranges.
Give owners, buyers and managers a clearer view of performance by department, branch, product and customer activity.
Lifestyle retail works best when departments feel carefully curated to customers, while still being structured properly for the team running the business.
Storefront™ gives each area enough detail to be useful, without forcing the business into separate systems for every department.
Sizes, colours, brands, seasons, markdowns and customer questions about availability.
Large ranges, suppliers, barcodes, collections, delivery and customer order needs.
Fast-moving lines, seasonal promotions, gift cards, bundles and impulse purchases.
Brand-led stock, staff knowledge, department reporting and customer service detail.
Good retail starts long before the item reaches the till. Buyers need to understand what is working. Stock teams need deliveries to be checked in properly. Store teams need products available when customers ask.
Storefront™ supports the flow of information through the business, so decisions are based on what is actually happening.
Create purchase orders and bring more structure to supplier-led buying.
Use goods-in workflows to check stock into the business more consistently.
Transfer stock between floors, departments, stockrooms or branches when required.
Use live reporting to see what is selling, where stock sits and what needs attention.
Fashion, footwear, accessories and home ranges often create product detail quickly. A single style may have different sizes, colours, barcodes, prices and stock levels across branches.
Storefront™ helps retailers keep that detail organised, so staff can answer customer questions, buyers can see performance and stock can be managed with more confidence.
Modern lifestyle retail is not only about transactions. Customers come for advice, inspiration, brands, gifts, styling, experiences and the feeling of being looked after.
Storefront™ sits behind that experience, helping staff serve quickly, check information, process payments and keep the operation moving without pulling attention away from the customer.
Give staff better access to product and customer information at the point of service.
Support orders, deposits or collections where a sale does not end at the till.
Make gifting part of the customer relationship, not just a seasonal extra.
Use tablet tills or flexible selling points where the retail space demands it.
For many department stores, the café or restaurant is part of the reason people visit. It gives customers somewhere to pause, meet, browse for longer and make more of the trip.
Storefront™ supports hospitality workflows alongside retail, so table service, kitchen orders, payments and reporting can sit within the same wider operation.
Storefront™ is designed to work with the tools retailers rely on, from payments and accounts to e-commerce, marketing and electronic shelf labels.
That matters in department store retail, where teams need flexibility without losing control of the core operation.
