The basis for the technology solutions presented by ROQQIO is “Seamless Customer Journey”. Here, the ROQQIO Commerce Cloud is linking all possible sales channels such as the web shops, markets and over-the-counter points of sale (POS). All the listing, ordering and logistical processes are managed in one centralised backend system. This makes it possible to integrate the ROQQIO Commerce Cloud seamlessly into the existing infrastructure. For example, data from a Product Information Management (PIM) system (e.g. Akeneo) can be imported, centrally managed and provided to the sales channels in the required formats. Incoming orders from various channels are homogenised in the ROQQIO Commerce Cloud and provided to the downstream systems. This means that even while further sales channels are being linked, the backend infrastructure remains unchanged, thus greatly reducing the investment and the time-to-market. Networking with the POS allows all the information about the customer and his orders from the online world to be available in the branch, which facilitates seamless handling of omni-channel processes such as Click & Collect or Returnin-Store. Furthermore, ROQQIO offers in-store and customer apps for curated shopping as well as digital racks or self-checkout.

Why ROQQIO & Akeneo?

  • Intelligent ERP platform for omnichannel
  • Out-of-the-box solution
  • Planning & procurement
  • Mobile self-checkout
  • Roqqio BI view
