Bloomingdale's gets Lucky as it agrees luxury shopping experience tie up with retail connectivity platform

Lucky has announced a partnership with American luxury department store Bloomingdale’s.

This enables luxury brands to connect their DTC websites with Bloomingdales' in-store inventory.

Online shoppers can now instantly check the availability of their favourite luxury products at their local Bloomingdales stores while browsing their preferred brand's website. They can make purchases through Bloomingdale’s for same-day pickup or delivery.

"We are excited to partner with Bloomingdales to transform the luxury shopping experience by bridging the gap between online discovery and immediate accessibility," says Sneh Parmar, CEO and Co-Founder at Lucky.

"It has been an innovative force in luxury retail, and integrating their inventory systems with our platform creates a powerful solution for brands and their customers. This partnership enables brands to offer their online customers instant access to Bloomingdales' curated departments, combining the convenience of digital shopping with the prestigious Bloomingdales experience."

Brands can leverage the integrated Bloomingdales inventory feed, attribute their retail sales to their online channels, understand consumer demand for local fulfillment in real-time, and offer same-day fulfillment options to their customers.

2024 RTIH INNOVATION AWARDS

Online retail was a key focus area at the sixth edition of the RTIH Innovation Awards.

The awards, sponsored by Vista Technology Support, Scala, CADS, 3D Cloud, Brightpearl by Sage’s Lightning 50, Business France, and Retail Technology Show 2025, celebrate global tech innovation in a fast moving omnichannel world.

Our 2024 hall of fame entrants were revealed during an event which took place at RIBA’s 66 Portland Place HQ in Central London on 21st November, and consisted of a drinks reception, three course meal, and awards ceremony presided over by comedian Lucy Porter.

In his welcome speech, Scott Thompson, Founder and Editor, RTIH, said: “The event is now into its sixth year and what a journey it has been. The awards started life as an online only affair during the Covid outbreak, before launching as a small scale in real life event and growing year on year to the point where we’re now selling out this fine, historic venue.”

He added: “Congratulations to all of our finalists. Many submissions did not make it through to the final stage, and getting to this point is no mean feat. Checkout-free stores, automated supply chains, immersive experiences, on-demand delivery, next generation loyalty offerings, inclusive retail, green technology. We’ve got all the cool stuff covered this evening.”

“But just importantly we’ve got lots of great examples of companies taking innovative tech and making it usable in everyday operations - resulting in more efficiency and profitability in all areas.”

Congratulations to our 2024 winners, and a big thank you to our sponsors, judging panel, the legend that is Lucy Porter, and all those who attended last month’s gathering.
