This article is brought to you by Retail Technology Review: Cegid named by Gartner as a representative vendor in market guide for digital-business-ready POS applications for tier 2 midsize multichannel retailers.

Cegid, a leader in the digital transformation of businesses, has been named by Gartner as a Representative Vendor in its newly published report - Market Guide for Digital-Business-Ready POS Applications for Tier 2 Midsized Multichannel Retailers - which identifies point of sale (POS) applications which are digital-business ready.

With the unprecedented levels of digital disruption and convergence of off-line and online channels within the retail sector, the report focuses in on the technology challenges faced by retail businesses looking to meet the needs of connected customers.

Compiled by Gartner analysts, Joanne Joliet and Miriam Burt, we believe the report outlines the case for services-oriented application architectures and, in light of the digital disruption challenges presented to midsize retailers, suggests that digital-business-ready POS applications are an integral part of delivering comprehensive unified commerce platforms.

As a leading international group and vendor of unified commerce solutions for retailers, Cegid was selected as a Representative Vendor for the second consecutive year in Gartner's 2018 Market Guide.

Nathalie Echinard, Director of Retail Markets at Cegid, commented: "We're delighted that, once again, Cegid has been selected as a Representative Vendor by Gartner in its 2018 Market Guide for Digital-Business-Ready POS Applications for Tier 2 Midsize Multichannel Retailers. We feel this validates our ability to provide retailers with solutions that connect all customer touchpoints so they never miss a sale and increase customer engagement, across all channels, anywhere in the world."

"The solution provides a holistic view of shoppers, products, stock across entire retail demand and supply chain opening up new possibilities. This means our POS and omnichannel platforms allow retailers to provide a seamless shopping on an international scale to their customers, delivering personalised and memorable experiences at each and every encounter." she concluded.
