GANT nears completion of Europe-wide Cegid tech roll-out
Clothing brand, GANT, which has over 750 stores in 80 countries, is close to completing a roll-out of Cegid Retail’s Unified Commerce Platform across Europe.
The cloud-based Point of Sale and merchandising solution has recently been added in France and goes live in the UK in March.
The initiative follows a move to bring more of its overseas franchise partners under the same roof - such as Portugal and Spain during 2020 - as wholly-owned subsidiaries, sharing the same processes and accelerating a shift towards more digital services like Click and Collect.
“A lot has changed over the last year and there’s now a greater focus on digital and e-commerce,” says Peter Joelsson, Global IT Director at GANT.
“So we’re accelerating our digital and omnichannel strategies and adding extra services. We have invested a lot in IT over the Covid period to ensure more reliable data across all channels and increased agility.”
“Cegid’s cloud software offers standardised tools, which means it’s quicker and easier to deploy and add new services like Click and Collect, as well as open new stores in different countries,” he adds.
