Leading French accessible luxury fashion group SMCP chooses Openbravo to reinforce its premium shopping experience

To accelerate SMCP's unified commerce strategy and to further strengthen its reputation for a premium shopping experience and personalized services, the group chose Openbravo as a single cloud-based commerce platform for its four brands: Sandro, Maje, Claudie Pierlot and Fursac, in over 1.600 stores and 46 countries. The new solution will help SMCP to gain centralized management and visibility of all stores and POS terminals from one single point and facilitate the deployment of new features and faster innovation sharing across brands.

"We chose Openbravo because of its modular, cloud-based technology and its broad unified commerce coverage. We are betting on a fast-growing company that offers us a true strategic partnership. With a strong focus on the future, we believe that the Openbravo solution will give us agility to innovate for our customers and achieve our business objectives," said Marie-Caroline Bénézet, Director of Operations and Transformation at SMCP.

Thanks to Openbravo, SMCP will be able to support more efficiently a variety of shopping scenarios and options. These include unified commerce services such as Ship-from-Store, more flexible management of prices and in-store operations, as well as enhanced payment options through Openbravo's certified connector with Adyen. The new solution will also allow to improve visibility and management of in-store inventory during all daily and end-of-season operations.

The project will also include integration with various legacy systems facilitated by Openbravo's rich web-services based API.

"We are very proud to work with SMCP, a reference customer in the accessible luxury fashion & accessories sector, through a strong co-innovation partnership that shows again our value for this type of retailer. We are delighted to accompany them in this journey, which will result in key benefits for the business to support SMCP future growth and challenges," said Marco de Vries, CEO Openbravo.
