A Seamless Omnichannel Journey: Transforming a Fashion Store in California with Retail Pro and Shopify Integration
San Jose, CA, United States, 6th Jul 2024 – In the vibrant and competitive fashion industry of California, USA, a well-established apparel and accessories store embarked on a transformative journey to elevate its retail experience. This case study explores how the integration of Retail Pro POS with Shopify, facilitated by the cloud-based middleware connector Octopus Bridge from 24Seven Commerce, revolutionized the store’s operations and customer engagement.
The Challenge
The fashion store faced several challenges common to many brick-and-mortar retailers:
- Inventory Management: With a diverse range of products, managing inventory accurately across multiple channels was a daunting task.
- Omnichannel Presence: As consumer shopping habits evolved, the store recognized the need for a strong online presence to complement its physical locations.
- Customer Experience: Enhancing the in-store and online customer experience was crucial to staying competitive and growing the customer base.
The management team understood that integrating their physical and online stores would be essential to overcoming these challenges. After thorough research, they chose Retail Pro for their point of sale (POS) system and Shopify for their e-commerce platform. To bridge the gap between these two systems, they implemented Octopus Bridge, a cloud-based middleware connector from 24Seven Commerce.
The Solution
Retail Pro POS System
Retail Pro is a renowned POS system known for its robust inventory management, detailed reporting, and user-friendly interface. The system allowed the fashion store to streamline its in-store operations, ensuring accurate and efficient transaction processing, inventory tracking, and customer management.
Shopify E-commerce Platform
Shopify, a leading e-commerce platform, was chosen for its flexibility, scalability, and extensive range of features. It provided the store with a professional online presence, easy-to-manage product listings, secure payment processing, and comprehensive marketing tools.
Octopus Bridge Middleware
Octopus Bridge, the cloud-based middleware from 24Seven Commerce, was the critical component that integrated Retail Pro with Shopify. This connector enabled near real-time synchronization of inventory, orders, and customer data between the POS system and the e-commerce platform. It ensured that the store’s inventory was always up-to-date, whether a sale occurred online or in-store.
Implementation and Integration
The integration process began with a detailed analysis of the store’s existing systems and workflows. The primary goals were to ensure seamless data flow between Retail Pro and Shopify, eliminate manual data entry, and provide a consistent customer experience across all channels.
- Inventory Synchronization: Octopus Bridge enabled near real-time inventory synchronization, ensuring that the store’s inventory levels were always accurate. This eliminated the risk of overselling and allowed customers to see the exact availability of products, both online and in-store.
- Order Management: Orders placed on the Shopify store were automatically synced with Retail Pro, streamlining the fulfillment process. This integration reduced the chances of errors and expedited order processing, resulting in faster delivery times and improved customer satisfaction.
- Customer Data Integration: Customer information was shared between Retail Pro and Shopify, providing the store with a comprehensive view of their customers’ purchasing habits. This data was invaluable for personalized marketing and enhancing the overall shopping experience.
The Impact
The integration of Retail Pro with Shopify, powered by Octopus Bridge, had a profound impact on the fashion store’s operations and customer engagement.
Enhanced Inventory Management
With near real-time inventory synchronization, the store could manage its stock more efficiently. This improved inventory accuracy reduced the risk of stockouts and overstock situations. The staff could focus on customer service rather than manual inventory updates, leading to a more streamlined and productive operation.
Omnichannel Presence
The integration enabled the store to offer a true omnichannel shopping experience. Customers could browse the entire product range online, check real-time stock availability, and choose to purchase either online or in-store. This flexibility not only attracted more customers but also increased overall sales.
Improved Customer Experience
By providing accurate product availability information online, the store built trust with its customers. Shoppers could confidently visit the store, knowing that the items they wanted were in stock. This transparency enhanced the shopping experience and led to higher foot traffic in the physical store.
Marketing and Growth
The presence of an integrated website proved to be a powerful marketing tool. Unlike traditional yellow pages advertising, the website provided dynamic, up-to-date information about the store’s offerings. It helped attract new customers and retain existing ones by showcasing the latest collections, promotions, and events.
Data-Driven Decisions
The integration provided the store with valuable insights into customer behavior and sales trends. With access to comprehensive data, the management team could make informed decisions about inventory planning, marketing strategies, and customer engagement initiatives. This data-driven approach contributed to sustained growth and profitability.
Success Story
The transformation journey of this fashion store serves as a testament to the power of technology in retail. By integrating Retail Pro with Shopify through Octopus Bridge, the store successfully navigated the challenges of inventory management, omnichannel presence, and customer experience.
Operational Efficiency
The automation of inventory updates and order processing reduced manual work and minimized errors. The store staff could dedicate more time to assisting customers and enhancing the in-store experience. This operational efficiency translated into cost savings and improved profitability.
Customer Loyalty
The seamless shopping experience, both online and offline, fostered customer loyalty. Shoppers appreciated the convenience of checking product availability online and the assurance that their desired items were in stock. The store’s commitment to providing a consistent and reliable shopping experience paid off in the form of repeat business and positive word-of-mouth.
Competitive Advantage
In a highly competitive market, the integration provided the store with a significant competitive advantage. The ability to offer a true omnichannel experience set the store apart from its competitors. The integrated website not only drove online sales but also increased foot traffic to the physical store, creating a synergistic effect that boosted overall revenue.
Scalability and Future Growth
The flexibility and scalability of the integrated system positioned the store for future growth. As the business expanded, the integration could easily accommodate new locations, product lines, and sales channels. This scalability ensured that the store could continue to meet the evolving needs of its customers and market dynamics.
Conclusion
The successful integration of Retail Pro with Shopify, facilitated by Octopus Bridge from 24Seven Commerce, transformed the operations and customer experience of the fashion store. The seamless synchronization of inventory, orders, and customer data enabled the store to offer a true omnichannel shopping experience. The presence of an integrated website proved to be a powerful marketing tool, attracting new customers and increasing foot traffic to the physical store. By embracing technology and leveraging data-driven insights, the store achieved operational efficiency, customer loyalty, and sustained growth. This case study underscores the importance of innovative solutions in the modern retail landscape and serves as an inspiration for other retailers looking to enhance their omnichannel capabilities.

2024 International Short Video Competition Breaks New Ground in Global Audio-Visual Communication
The 2024 International Short Video Competition has successfully concluded its call for submissions. As of November 30, a total of 4,452 works were submitted, with creators from 60% of the countries and regions worldwide. The total exposure of related topics across the internet has surpassed 1.5 billion views.
This year’s competition featured a series of promotional activities reaching international campuses across the globe, with efforts expanding into markets in Asia, Europe, North America, and other regions. These activities have greatly enhanced the international exchange and cooperation in the film and television industry, significantly boosting global audio-visual influence. Notable progress was made in international communication and overseas promotion, with three key achievements standing out:
Firstly, a diversified international communication channel has been established. By inviting individual creators, bilingual bloggers, domestic and international audiovisual production and broadcasting institutions, film and media schools, as well as renowned influencers and talent agencies from around the world, the competition has attracted creative talents from various fields and levels. This includes significant participation from overseas universities, international students, and others, effectively capturing the attention and influence of the youth demographic. As a result, a large number of works with diverse formats and topics have been collected.
Secondly, a comprehensive cultural exchange platform has been established. Relying on international campus promotional activities, the competition has provided overseas students and foreign youth with opportunities to gain a deeper understanding of both Chinese and foreign cultures and international exchanges, thus sparking their creative inspiration. During the promotional events at KyungHee University, Rangsit University, and the University of Barcelona, students expressed strong interest in the overseas competition themes. Many of them stated that they would create works in creative formats such as Vlogs, animations, and documentaries. This promotional opportunity has also ensured the quality of the competition submissions.
Thirdly, an efficient overseas communication model has been expanded. By fully leveraging the experience gained from organizing the competition, the influence of various platforms has been activated. Through showcasing stories of Sino-foreign friendship, cultural differences, and win-win cooperation opportunities, as well as the concept of a shared human destiny from a Z perspective, the competition has established a distinctive international audio-visual brand image using abundant overseas resources. Prior to the promotional events, the release of information about the overseas competition attracted the attention of international creators and subscribers, creating a favorable atmosphere for offline promotional activities. From “cloud” to reality, the progressive promotion of Sino-foreign audio-visual works’ international communication has facilitated cultural exchange through enjoyable audio-visual experiences.
The international campuses have brought together students from different countries and regions, inspiring each other through their creative work and fostering a deeper understanding and respect for different cultures. By participating in and promoting the competition, students are able to further develop their short video creation skills, cross-cultural communication abilities, and awareness of international communication. With the perspective and creativity of international students, the competition has unearthed a batch of short video works that are more in tune with international audiences and easier to understand and accept. These works effectively showcase the charm of Sino-foreign cultures and the achievements of social development, enhancing the competition’s international appeal and influence.
In addition to reaching universities in South Korea, Thailand, Spain, and Russia, the international youth exchange roadshow is still ongoing. Although the submission phase has ended, the journey of Sino-foreign cultural exchange continues. With innovative communication formats and strengthened cultural identity, the 2024 International Short Video Competition is still on the way!

Marcella Named America’s 7th Fastest-Growing Fashion Brand By The 2024 Inc. 5000
Ranking On The List For The Third Straight Year, Marcella Ranks No. 577, Overall, Among The U.S.’ Fastest-Growing Private Companies.
NEW YORK, NEW YORK, United States, 27th Dec 2024, – Marcella, a mission-driven, ethical and sustainable designer fashion brand, has been ranked as the 7th fastest-growing fashion brand in the U.S. on the recently announced 2024 Inc. 5000 list, the most prestigious data-driven ranking of America’s fastest-growing private companies. Achieving 780% growth from 2020 to 2023 with minimal outside investor capital, Marcella also ranked on the list as America’s 44th fastest-growing consumer products company and as America’s 577th fastest-growing company, overall. Moreover, Marcella ranked as the fastest-growing retailer in New England (where it is headquartered) for the past three years.
Founded by husband-and-wife duo Siyana and Andy Huszar, Marcella’s “minimalism with an edge” clothing, shoes and accessories are designed in New York and handcrafted in Europe. Core to the brand’s DNA is a commitment to advancing women and girls across the brand’s every aspect (design, production approach, sustainability, and social impact).
“Being ranked as America’s 7th fastest-growing fashion company is a testament to our incredible team and the uncompromising passion we bring daily to revolutionizing fashion for the benefit of women and girls globally,” said Siyana Huszar, Co-founder and Chief Creative Officer of Marcella.
Marcella takes a holistic approach to sustainability that not only drives its mission but its profitability. The brand’s innovative “just-in-time” production model minimizes the global fashion industry’s typical inventory waste, enabling Marcella to sell over 90% of what it makes at or near full price and dramatically reducing the company’s ecological footprint. This efficiency results in exceptional capital savings and enables Marcella to be ethical, sustainable and socially impactful in its approach. Its original, designer essentials have a superior price-to-quality ratio. Every individual involved in the production of any Marcella piece enjoys a truly living wage, generous benefits and free health care. And, for every order Marcella sells, the company supports three days of school for a marginalized girl around the world in partnership with CAMFED, the celebrated global NGO revolutionizing how girls’ education is delivered.
“To think that Marcella has been able to profitably achieve such ongoing growth while mainly bootstrapping is humbling,” added Andy Huszar, Co-founder and CEO of Marcella. “We’re honoured to be recognized by the Inc. 5000 for the third straight year and excited to continue delivering ethical, sustainable and socially impactful fashion within reach.”
The Inc. 5000 class of 2024 represents companies that have driven rapid revenue growth while navigating inflationary pressure, the rising costs of capital, and seemingly intractable hiring challenges. “Congratulations to this year’s honorees for growing their businesses fast despite the economic disruption we all faced over the past three years,” commented Mike Hofman, Inc. editor-in-chief.
