NewStore, a modular, mobile-first omnichannel cloud platform for retail brands worldwide, today announced that Filson and Shinola, two American lifestyle brands owned by Bedrock Manufacturing Co., have selected the company to modernize their in-store experiences. Both brands will implement the NewStore mobile point-of-sale, order management, and store inventory solutions to create seamless, unified customer journeys across all touchpoints.
“It was an easy decision to go with NewStore after assessing various omnichannel solutions. On top of the company’s proven track record of working with game-changing retailers, the platform can be implemented at a pace that aligns with the unique needs of our brands. The company also has a strong network of technology partners, which was important to us,” said Rob Sayre, CIO, Bedrock Manufacturing Co. “NewStore’s experience and expertise will be invaluable for both Filson and Shinola as we bring this project to life, and our partnership will only get stronger as we grow our portfolio of retail brands.”
Filson, known for its rugged outdoor apparel and accessories, and Shinola, famous for its handcrafted watches, jewelry, and leather goods, will benefit from the NewStore platform’s omnichannel capabilities, including mobile checkout, endless aisle, store fulfillment, buy online pickup in-store (BOPIS), buy online return in-store (BORIS), and more.
