ROME, Jan. 23, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Rinascente,
the leading department store group in Italy, is enhancing the consumer experience in
its stores, including its flagship location in Rome, with new point-of-sale (POS) systems,
software and services from Diebold
Nixdorf (NYSE: DBD), the world leader in driving connected
commerce. A multi-year service contract has also been signed
for the maintenance of the company's in-store technology.
Opened in October, the shopping palace in Italy's capital city features Diebold Nixdorf software solutions that enable
Rinascente to offer consumers a variety of digital and physical
services. Additionally, the new 120 Diebold Nixdorf POS systems and
40 back-office systems are a powerful hardware platform to ensure
that consumers enjoy a memorable shopping experience on a sales
floor of 14,000 square meters.
Based on open APIs and microservices, Diebold Nixdorf's software ensures consistent
data management, for example, to coordinate order processes and
item availabilities across different channels. The software also
enables cross-channel management of marketing and loyalty
activities, and provides a solid foundation for the future
implementation of new solutions.
"Diebold Nixdorf's software
enables us to launch and expand innovative customer services and
drive seamless experiences across all channels," explains
Paolo Ciceri, chief information
officer at Rinascente.
"Our open retailing strategy helps key retailers develop a true
platform for connected commerce," says Philippe Dauphin, Diebold Nixdorf vice president, retail,
Europe, the Middle East and Africa. "It will enable Rinascente to build a
seamless digital ecosystem and integrate existing applications and
new customer touchpoints."
About Rinascente
Rinascente is a prestigious chain of
department stores that offers a selection of the world's finest
products in fashion, accessories, beauty care, home décor,
design and food. Italy's 11
Rinascente stores are located in the country's leading cities,
with one flagship store in the heart of Milan and another in Via del Tritone in
Rome.
There is also a Rinascente store in Copenhagen that operates under the Illum
name.
With its exclusive events, appearances by famous personalities
and launches of new products, Rinascente is a must-visit
destination on the world's shopping circuit. Its product lines are
rich and varied. They shun ready-made formulas in order to serve a
demanding clientele with continuously changing needs.
Each Rinascente store has its own pole of attraction that
turns shopping into an enthralling, gratifying experience. In
recognition of this philosophy, the Milan flagship store was named the "World's
Best Department Store" by Intercontinental Group of Department
Stores (IGDS), the leading association of department stores,
in May 2016. Each Rinascente store
remains true to its name while offering something unique and
distinctive of its own. All of the company's stores share two
common traits: Each is located in the historic downtown areas of
Italy's leading cities, and
each serves as a center of culture and social interaction, a role
that turns the stores into something much more than mere sales
outlets. In 2017, Rinascente celebrated the 100th anniversary of
the name it was given by poet Gabriele D'Annunzio with a show at
Palazzo Reale that told its story of passion, talent, and
vision.
