The Montreal Impact soccer team went live on Raymark’s store, merchandising, and reporting solutions at their home opener on March 17th. There were 58,912 fans in attendance, surpassing the record for the largest crowd for a pro soccer game at the stadium!

Only two weeks after signing with them, Raymark had already successfully deployed their solutions in one of our stores, reinforcing our belief that we had made the right decision by selecting them. Raymark’s proven retail expertise, local Montreal presence and innovative, reliable products are the reasons we chose them as our software partner going forward.”

“Raymark is excited that the Montreal Impact has entrusted us with fulfilling their retail solution needs at such an important juncture in their history,” states Marc Chriqui, Raymark’s President. “We look forward to forming a strong, lasting relationship with the franchise and to supporting their retail endeavors for years to come. Together, I think we make a winning team.”
