Munro Footwear Group (MFG), Australasia’s largest privately-owned footwear company, is proud to announce the successful deployment of NewStore’s innovative mobile Point of Sale (POS) system across its retail banners. With this rollout, spanning over 260 store locations, MFG has ushered in a new era of retail excellence by reimagining the shopping experience for its customers.
NewStore, a leading modular, mobile-first omnichannel cloud platform, empowers MFG’s team members to assist and process customer transactions seamlessly from anywhere on the store floor, using just an iPhone. This revolutionary technology replaces the retailer’s legacy POS system, enhancing operational efficiency and customer engagement.
MFG’s retail banners, including Williams, Midas, Mountfords, Mathers, and ecommerce website Styletread, are synonymous with quality and style. The company is also home to an extensive portfolio of trusted footwear brands such as Mollini, Django & Juliette, Colorado, Ziera, and Diana Ferrari. The NewStore’s mobile POS was chosen for its ability to provide store employees with maximum flexibility in day-to-day operations, ultimately delivering an exceptional in-store experience.
“We have recently made several significant investments to streamline our supply chain operations. The next step in our multi-year growth plan is to focus on delivering efficiencies within our stores, allowing our team to spend more time with customers,” said Marcus Bartlett, Co-CEO, Munro Footwear Group.
“Selecting the NewStore mobile POS is an important milestone in achieving this. We needed to bring on a partner that shared in our vision of delivering a best-in-class omnichannel experience for our customers.”
NewStore is built such that brands can use its omnichannel OMS or integrate with an external OMS. In either scenario store associates benefit from a single view of all order and inventory data. This information will be accessible to store associates via iPhone, making omnichannel operations like store fulfillment possible. By integrating with MFG’s external OMS, NewStore will enable its team members to process in-store and endless aisle transactions anywhere on the floor using the same mobile device.
“There are many iconic Australian retailers with deep roots in the country’s history and culture. By investing in omnichannel, Munro Footwear Group has set the standard for how these brands should be thinking about their long-term strategies,” said Stephan Schambach, Founder and CEO, NewStore. “The company’s decision to partner with NewStore is also a great example of the momentum we are continuing to see in this region and a sign of what’s ahead for the Australian retail market.”
