“Our guests are at the center of everything that we do, and we are hyper-focused on creating strong guest connections through seamless store and online experiences,” said Carl Barker, Vice President, Global Omni Programs at lululemon. “With Nedap’s iD Cloud solution, we can leverage real-time, accurate data to enable our in-store educators to spend even more time engaging and connecting with our guests.
