Retail Anywhere Integrates With afterBOT Solutions; Helping Retailers To Connect With Customers
While Delivering An Eco-Friendly Receipt
January 12, 2009
Retail Anywhere, a leader in providing integrated software and services for mid-size retailers, today announced its partnership with afterBOT and integration to their TransAccess® CustomerConnect solution and digital receipt technology. With digital receipt technology from afterBOT, retailers using Retail Anywhere POS will have the ability to email customers an electronic receipt for their purchases. Email receipts represent an eco-friendly alternative to traditional paper and shoppers will no longer have to worry about lost receipts.
The digital receipt technology combined with afterBOT's CustomerConnect enables retailers to enhance marketing efforts with targeted delivery of promotions and other marketing information. With a link on a retailer's website, CustomerConnect also provides consumers with access to post sales transaction information, helping them keep track of receipts, transactions, and sales tax information. Transaction details can also be imported into money management applications.
The first retailer to deploy Retail Anywhere POS utilizing digital receipts and integration to CustomerConnect will be Peek…Aren't You Curious. The combined solution provides Peek a way to help the environment while making a more meaningful connection with their customers.
