Olga Kotsur, Co-founder and CEO of Mercaux, said:

“Mercaux’s digital applications enable retailers to harness the power of digital in their stores, using them as an enablement tool to realize omnichannel capabilities. We were impressed with Retail Assist’s strong market credentials in the fashion retail sector, and our new partnership adds real value to their omnichannel proposition.”
