Nitty Gritty partners with Focalpay to roll out cloud-native checkout
Focalpay will roll out its cloud-native checkout to multi brand retailer Nitty Gritty.
With Focalpay, Nitty Gritty will harmonize the in-store customer experience with real-time data, while improving administration.
The Focalpay checkout will empower Nitty Gritty’s in-store staff with a flexible and responsive checkout journey.
Stockholm, Sweden, Tuesday 4 June 2024 - The independent multi brand retailer, online store and showroom Nitty Gritty is partnering with commerce platform provider Focalpay when replacing its checkout system.
Nitty Gritty is renowned for its innovative and inspiring approach to fashion. After a thorough market review, the retailer has selected Focalpay as their long term retail software partner.
The Focalpay checkout will be integrated to Nitty Gritty’s e-commerce system Centra, and is set to empower in-store staff with its flexible, responsive design. With the virtual basket that enables customers and staff to seamlessly move the shopping cart between shopping contexts such as Mobile POS and stationary tills, Nitty Gritty is future-proofing the business.
Marcus Söderlind, CEO at Nitty Gritty said: “We started this hoping to find a checkout that could match our approach to our business - we wanted an innovative and inspiring checkout partner. In Focalpay we have found that partner - and we’re investing in the company thanks to two major factors: The people behind the company and a unique product.”
“With Focalpay, we can focus on our core business rather than thinking about the technology behind - something which is hugely beneficial for any retailer.”
Olof Henriksson, CRO at Focalpay said: “The whole team at Focalpay is thrilled about this partnership, to bring our checkout to such a renowned retailer based in our home town. I’m excited that we get to partner with a retailer I’ve been familiar with for so long, that stands for offering their customers quality in everything they do.
“Our harmonized checkout is developed with a microservice architecture and open APIs, where real-time updates enable in-store staff to always know what products they have available, and always offering a superior shopping experience.”
