IDC MarketScape is the IT industry’s premier vendor assessment tool. This IDC MarketScape study assesses the capabilities and strategies of enterprise Point-of-Sale software solution providers that have a significant presence in the global midsized apparel and softlines retail segment. A key evaluation is whether a vendor’s current Point-of-Sale offerings match the direct needs of current customers. Another focuses on omnichannel innovation: keeping pace with customer plans to progress in omnichannel commerce and customer confidence that their Point-of-Sale vendor is committed to delivering the innovation needed.
Mr. Gupta added: “Jesta’s roadmap includes enhanced self-service tools to empower omnichannel shoppers beyond unified loyalty and baskets. We’re also working on improved guided selling tools for superior customer engagement, and IoT applications that support RFID, smart shelves, magic mirrors, and beacon or location-based services.
