About Retail combines a modern POS, integrated payments, smart product catalogs, and comprehensive inventory management to help you move more inventory. Beautiful POS that connects your store to your stockroom, eCommerce, and available at-once inventory from the brands you sell. Standardized product data from more than 125 brands makes connecting with brands, your website, and customers easy. Order the right products, automate your buying process, and see inventory performance in real-time. In theory, it’s simple: stock the products your customers want and none of the products they don’t. In reality, some inventory won’t move. Stop wasting money and order more of the products your customers want. For too long, connecting your system with brands, digital platforms, and other systems was expensive and cumbersome. That doesn’t work. So we built RICS>Retail with connectivity as a core assumption.
