Sunil Bhatia, CEO Today, the customer expectation for a shopping experience has grown enormously owing to rise of internet-based retailing and empowerment of the consumer to comparison shop using ever-richer detail and immediate information. With the onset of mobile phone-based retail integration there has been a rise in these expectations with shoppers demanding fast and superior service from anywhere and at any time. This has resulted in retailers wanting to focus on increasing their sales conversion rates by getting their sales representatives out from behind cash registers and having them intermingle closely with customers during their shopping experience.

One of Infogain’s clients— not-for-profit managed care organizations in the U.S. wanted to work towards their core objective to ensure high quality medical care and decided to replace its legacy POS system in order to improve customer service and operational efficiencies. Infogain worked with the client team to design and architect the overall solution, building the project roadmap and key milestones using Oracle Retail Store Solutions (ORSS).
