OneView Commerce signs worldwide SaaS agreement with Rapha Racing

OneView Group (AIM: ONEV), the retail industry's leading provider of digital point of sale (POS), announced today that Rapha Racing Ltd ("Rapha") has signed a multi-year SaaS agreement for OneView's Cloud POS framework, Inventory Management, and Enterprise Promotions modules to support an omnichannel sales experience in its 20 Rapha Clubhouses in key cities throughout the world.

Rapha provides cycling apparel and accessories from its innovative Rapha Clubhouses, which combine retail, a café and cycling culture under one roof.

The OneView cloud-based solution will extend Rapha's successful omnichannel retail and customer engagement strategy into its Rapha Clubhouses in 11 countries with further expansion planned this year. The solution will provide customers with a consistent experience whether shopping online or in the physical store. OneView's ability to support Rapha's global presence, while providing a centralised view of sales, inventory and customers, was a key factor in Rapha selecting the OneView Digital Store Platform.

Alex Bezer, Head of Technology and Logistics at Rapha commented: "With our roots beginning with an online store it was very important for Rapha to find a partner with a deep experience in omnichannel retailing. OneView's ability to seamlessly support the online to offline experience was a key differentiator and is important to our overall digital brand experience. Other factors include the ability to control the look and feel of the application, to work with one partner globally, and to consolidate our transactions to have a worldwide view of our Clubhouse performance."

Linda Palanza, CEO of OneView, commented: "We are excited to have been selected by Rapha and we look forward to working with such a fast paced and forward thinking brand. Rapha Clubhouses epitomize the future of retailing where physical and digital come together to deliver superior service and experience. Rapha joins a list of retailers who have worked closely with OneView to contribute their knowledge and experience to reinventing the in-store experience through technology."
