“We’ve witnessed an interesting life cycle in retail over the last few decades. Brands have pivoted between channels, trying to meet shoppers where they are. But today’s shoppers are everywhere, and don’t see in channels, which is why omnichannel is a strategic imperative,” said Stephan Schambach, Founder and CEO, NewStore. “It’s not easy to operate stores in today’s digitally-driven world. Despite stores being a source of great frustration, they also represent a major opportunity. NewStore is the most complete and compelling solution for retailers.”
