On the store floor, Openbravo Store extends its stylish mobile-enabled point of sale solution with enhanced CRM, clienteling and loyalty management capabilities, which include easy access to information like customer personal data, order history and buying behavior data, and the possibility of enrolling customers into various loyalty programs. Recommendations on products, services and promotions for more personalized experiences are also available.
Low-touch shopping scenarios like store and curbside pick-up orders, drive-up orders or mobile payments have rapidly become very relevant for physical store retailers and are facilitated by Openbravo Store thanks, for example, to its certified connector with Adyen. Retailers can adopt mobile POS or self-service terminals that provide faster checkout experiences and thus reduce waiting times, which is particularly important when stores face occupancy limitations.
Combined with other functions such as an improved intuitive and easy to use order preparation functionality, rich mobile-enabled in-store inventory management and seamless integration with Openbravo OMS, Openbravo Store ensures stores are well prepared to act as real omnichannel hubs and to effectively support a variety of omnichannel scenarios like BOPIS, which is fast becoming the delivery method of choice as consumers become more familiar with its ease and convenience.

The web POS component also imposes very limited technical requirements for the POS terminals, which opens the possibility of reusing existing hardware or adopting new low-cost devices, thus enabling retailers and brands to lower their initial investment.
