Oracle Retail Xstore Point of Service: Robust Functionality, Optimized for Mobile

Logic’s experience integrating POS systems supports Forrester’s findings. Oracle Retail Xstore Point of Service (Xstore POS) is a resilient, modern POS system which delivers responsive, mobile innovation. Retail associates are better able to meet customers’ needs through improved inventory visibility, customer intelligence, and seamless online-to-in-store transactions.

Rapid Deployment: Oracle’s pre-integrated omnichannel suite saves significant time and money for retailers; instead of the building of the entire back-end integration between order management, CRM, POS, and ecommerce systems, they can focus on configuring the applications to best meet their business needs. Logic can unlock the potential to deliver complex customer shopping journeys within weeks or months – not years.

Sophisticated, Flexible Omnichannel Journeys: Associates have the tools and information they need to meet modern customer expectations and deliver a superior experience. With the ability to add multiple order types in a single transaction and split line / split item during fulfilment, store associates can sell down to the very last item on their customer’s list.

Single View of the Customer: Shoppers share their preferences in many ways: wish-lists, through mobile applications, and items that are sitting in their online shopping baskets. This first-hand data is brought together within Oracle Retail Customer Insights Cloud Service and Oracle Retail Customer Engagement Cloud Service help retailers understand what a specific customer wants, and when they want it.

Personalization: Personalized offers are the path forward for retailers looking to succeed. With the stronger integration between Oracle Marketing Cloud and Oracle Retail Customer Engagement Cloud Service, retailers can personalize offers and increase sell-through rates. For electronics, mobile communications providers, or other service vendors, customer entitlements are offered as out-of-the-box functionality.

Modern Mobile Retailing: Xstore POS gives store associates the mobility they need to engage with customers on the sales floor – where the purchasing decisions take place. Shared peripherals (printers, PIN pads, and even the cash drawer) make it possible to significantly increase capacity while reducing overall deployment costs.

Secure Payments: Retailers gain a secure, abstracted payment solution which can enable faster adoption of emerging payment technologies without the burden of PCI DSS overheads.

Unlock a Global Footprint: Xstore POS addresses the multiple complex requirements for retailers to localize operations around the world through configuration and prepackaged accelerators.

Streamline Retail Fraud Investigations: With Oracle Retail XBRi, retail loss prevention professionals can pinpoint new sources of risk and deliver reports that support investigations and case-building activities through enhanced POS integrations.
