iVend Retail by CitiXsys
Offering Best-in-Class Customer Experience Application

The retail landscape is undergoing a digital revolution.

In the last couple of years, there's been a surge in the adoption of cloud technologies, particularly among mid-market and enterprise retailers worldwide. The shift away from traditional on-premises systems has resulted in a growing preference for agility, scalability and the power of cloud technology, as well as the ever-increasing need to cater to evolving consumer demands.

iVend Retail is a cloud-based omnichannel-ready retail management software application that helps mid-market and enterprise retailers further improve their process efficiencies. It does so by helping retailers better manage their in-store inventory and improve customer experience through its seamlessly integrated modules like customer loyalty programs, promotions, gift cards, integrated eCommerce, and a comprehensive set of reports and dashboards.

iVend Retail is a full suite application and covers in-store processes including POS, store back-office processes and seamless integration to leading ERP applications.

iVend Retail has been successful in popular retail verticals like fashion-apparel, footwear, electronics, supermarkets, etc. In addition to these, iVend Retail has also been successful in niche retail verticals like wine stores, book stores, home improvement stores, optical stores etc.

iVend Retail by CitiXsys offers a distinct hybrid deployment model that incorporates the best of cloud and traditional tried and tested technologies through its comprehensive retail management application suite. Its hybrid architecture (HO on the cloud and POS on-premises) is perfect for large enterprise retailers. This makes the POS transactions fast, while the cloud-based HO gives the much-needed ‘hardware independence’ to the retailer.

The application is compliant with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and prioritizes robust security measures, implementing industry-standard encryption and access controls to safeguard sensitive customer data.

“Our cloud-based architecture is designed for seamless scalability, enabling retailers to effortlessly accommodate growing transaction volumes and evolving business needs,” says Pankaj Mathur, COO.

iVend Retail positions itself as the premier choice for omnichannel retailing in the enterprise space, seamlessly integrating with leading ERPs such as SAP, Sage, Dynamics Business Central, as well as popular online shopping portals like Shopify, Magento, WooCommerce, BigCommerce, etc. allowing for interoperability across platforms and channels. Inbuilt gift cards, loyalty programs, coupons and features like ‘Click & Collect’ and curbside pickup further enhance customers’ convenience, cementing iVend Retail's commitment to exceptional end-user experiences.

A standout feature is the comprehensive application extensibility. Interoperable APIs and a powerful SDK (Software Development Kit) are in-built in the application and can be used to customize the application by creating Addons that help retailers address their unique business processes. Addons developed using iVend Extensibility do not interfere in the upgrade process.

The flexibility of gift cards, which can be used as store credits online and offline, along with robust promotions and a scheduler engine, empowers retailers to craft unique campaigns that drive customer engagement and repeat visits. The global consulting team enhances this by offering jumpstart services for solution design and technical account management services for ongoing advisory, ensuring retailers can fully leverage the platform's capabilities for optimal ROI.
