Tulip’s cloud-based mobile apps are built exclusively for stores of the future

Technology presents both a challenge and opportunity for retailers, as they work to reach shoppers and differentiate their brand. More importantly, technology can serve as a vehicle to foster customer engagement, create brand interest, and generate sales. It is well recognized that customers now shop across a multitude of channels and make buying decisions over various touchpoints. As the purchasing journey is far more fragmented today, it is more important than ever for retailers to be active over the platforms that are popular amongst their target audiences. By creating a seamless shopping experience, where branding, values and products are replicated across channels, retailers can enhance customer engagement and encourage a greater propensity to purchase. Shoppers have higher expectations than ever and can easily pinpoint where retailers can be more seamless in delivering a connected customer experience. They don’t want to be convinced to spend their money – they need help in acquiring the items they already want. It’s not just a customer journey – it’s a treasure hunt and retailers can bring the map to life!
