Raymark Announces Next Generation of Retail Software Solutions Developed on Silverlight

PRESS RELEASE

MONTREAL, Canada – September 3, 2010 - Raymark, a Microsoft Gold-Certified Partner, is proud to announce the launch of its cutting-edge Clienteling solution for retail and the development of key line-of-business retail applications built on Microsoft’s Silverlight platform. Raymark selected this powerful development platform for its ability to create engaging, interactive user experiences for Web, desktop, and mobile applications. Now optimized for enterprise use, Silverlight enables dynamic, service-oriented applications that can support a retail environment encompassing point-of-sale workstations, tablets, and other devices.

“Selecting Silverlight as our platform of choice going forward was a strategic decision for Raymark, putting user experience and ease-of-use at the forefront of retail software,” says Marc Chriqui, Raymark’s President. “Silverlight enables Raymark to deploy engaging retail applications across a variety of retail needs, further enhancing our strength for providing adaptable, multi-platform, multi-device software that can be deployed either on-premise or through the cloud.”

Raymark’s new Clienteling solution enables retailers to engage with consumers in new and innovative ways within the four walls of the store. When deployed on a tablet or touch screen device, store associates can use it to efficiently collaborate with customers to track demographic information, product and communication preferences, and business-specific attributes. It can also be used to look up purchase histories, schedule appointments and conduct on-the-spot surveys. This results in the retailer acquiring a deeper level of knowledge about the customer, leading to more personalized promotions and service as well as contributing to the fulfillment of the retailer’s overall CRM strategy.
