One Cloud Retail Platform for Multiple Services
Retail Clouds is one platform offering a mix-and-match set of services for retailers - start with what you need today, whether that's a commerce site, POS, or inventory management, and add more as your business grows. There's no hardware to buy and no software to license upfront; you subscribe to new services only when you're ready for them.

| Rollout risk | Proven, low-risk rollout | Implementation success varies |

FAQs
What is a retail clouds platform?
A retail clouds platform is a single SaaS system that covers POS, inventory, warehousing, eCommerce, and customer loyalty for a retail business, instead of separate software for each function.
How is Retail Clouds different from an ERP?
Retail Clouds is built specifically for retail operations and only needs configuration, not custom development. A traditional ERP is generic across industries and typically requires a longer, costlier implementation.
Can I add services to Retail Clouds as my business grows?
Yes. Retail Clouds is designed to be adopted incrementally - start with the services you need now, such as POS or a commerce site, and subscribe to more as your business grows.
