Nike announces launch of homegrown cloud-based iOS native Point of Sale system across stores

Nike has gone live with an in house developed, cloud-based, iOS native Point of Sale solution, a project that it says has been years in the making.

"Grateful to everyone who’s been part of this journey, past and present. Your work laid the foundation for this moment," says Alfredo Carigga, Global Product Leader at Nike. "This go live brings some of the most impressive innovations we’ve launched to date: offline mode support; fastest staging time (25 mins vs. four hours); tap to login functionality (via NFC); new mobile and fixed PoS launch; seamless omnichannel integration - carts, promos, and membership (loyalty)"

He added: "The road ahead is ambitious: 1K stores, 50K store athletes, multiple geographies. But when we get there, we’ll have the most advanced, fastest, and most sophisticated PoS system I’ve worked on in my career. The Swoosh keeps moving forward - powered by innovation, built for athletes, and obsessed with serving the consumer at speed."

2025 RTIH INNOVATION AWARDS

PoS solutions will be a key focus area at the 2025 RTIH Innovation Awards.

The awards, which are now open for entries, 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 November's gathering.
