Chiasso, a leading modern design retailer, partnered with PFSweb,
Inc. (NASDAQ: PFSW) to launch its storefront in Chicago's Lincoln
Park neighborhood. PFSweb, an established provider of business
process outsourcing solutions, has worked with Chiasso since 2004,
operating a turnkey solution for the catalogue and online store
including order management, logistics, product fulfillment,
customer care and call center operations and financial services.
PFSweb was called upon to integrate the online and catalogue
platform - powered by Ecometry, a software suite for
direct-to-customer sales - at the new brick-and-mortar location.
"PFSweb streamlined the entire process. Now, our catalogue and
online store can 'talk' to our storefront. The real benefit here is
multi-channel visibility to customers and inventory," said Greg
Kadens, chief operating officer and partner, Chiasso. "PFSweb has
the technical know-how, product knowledge and training skills that
make this work. Anyone can buy hardware and software, but it's the
people who make a difference. PFSweb's staff was the critical
component in our success." "We were very excited when Chiasso told
us they were entering into the retail environment," said Mark
Layton, CEO of PFSweb. "It gave us a chance to prove to Chiasso
that we could provide a true turn-key solution. Through our
scalable solution and flexible technology, we were able to
implement a system that could seamlessly span all channels - from
online to the storefront." About PFSweb, Inc. PFSweb develops and
