Case Studies
Crew Clothing Trading Platform Development
Customer Challenge and Business Need
Crew Clothing Company initially required a mobile trading platform for use in multiple event settings, with their existing POS not able to run on mobile devices. Crew also needed a new payment provider and specified that the new solution needed to be fully mobile, flexible and reliable. Following the successful deployment of the event-based project, Crew asked for the solution to be rapidly scaled and rolled our across the 100+ Crew Clothing retail stores.
PMC Solution
PMC built an eBasket module utilising our Cloud and Integration Enabler Platform (CIEP) to deliver simple sales, refunds, customer and promotions capabilities. We were able to deploy our Orchestration Manager to provide the retail hierarchy, users, roles and access management. Our endpoint Integration Enabler was then utilised to bring these solutions to the edge on Android tablets. Both modules have a client as well as microservice catalogues, to get the best of online and offline data.
Business Impact
Crew Clothing boldly re-imagined the retail store environment without EPOS. In response, PMC delivered a truly mobile and customer-centric, in-store experience and a systems architecture for a store of the future. By simplifying the customer transaction process, Crew Clothing has transformed the customer experience and empowered store staff to better engage with customers - which in turn has boosted employee engagement.
The initial phase of this exceptional project was delivered in just 10 weeks, with all Development and Project Delivery services provided exclusively by PMC. Today, all 100+ Crew Clothing stores operate the mobile sales solution to process customer transactions and capture customer data.
