Big R Selects Deck Commerce to Support Omni-Channel Retailing Commerce
St. Louis, MO (PRWEB) August 15, 2017 -- Deck Commerce, a leading omni-channel commerce technology provider, today announced that Big R, a Midwestern chain of farm and home stores headquartered in Watseka, Illinois – has selected Deck Commerce’s Distributed Order Management Solution to help streamline, optimize and integrate its omni-channel retail operations with their new cloud-based eCommerce platform.
To modernize its retail technology and support future growth, Big R sought a distributed order management solution that connected their new eCommerce storefront launching later this year with their existing back-end technology stack. The solution needed to support a variety of complex order workflows and, most importantly, ensure that the ability to deliver outstanding customer service was enhanced.
The company selected Deck Commerce, a recognized market leader in omni-channel commerce technology.
“We selected Deck Commerce to support our omni-channel retailing vision and strengthen our customer engagement,” said Dempsey Carter, Director of eCommerce for Big R. “The solution’s capabilities, the strong partnership-based approach to working with retailers, and the company’s overall focus on developing innovative solutions will allow Big R Stores to grow and better serve their customers.”
