One Step Retail Solutions Attends 2012 Tea Collection

Tea Collection is a designer of mostly children’s apparel (some adult), located in the design district of San Francisco. Twice a year, they invite the retailers that carry their line to come to SF to see their newest line and participate in educational workshops that help them be great retailers.

We were honored to be invited to represent retail technology in a series of workshops held at the fabulous California College of the Arts, where students in Fashion Design volunteer as interns for this event. Their retailers had been asking for more information on Point of Sale systems and Tea decided we were the best provider to invite since we represent so many systems, unlike other providers who only represent one system, or at the most, two. Donna Wesley Rogers, represented One Step Retail Solutions and here are her comments.



"Most of the retailers attending were single store owners, but all were very experienced retailers, seriously interested in the subject of retail technology. We broke into small groups of about 15 people each so there was opportunity for a lot of Q&A and discussion amongst the retailers themselves. The sharing of technology experiences was very valuable for everyone. I did two presentations, discussing POS in general and what they should be using it for….not just having a glorified and expensive cash register. Then I went over six POS products, the strengths and weaknesses of each with comparisons to each other.'

"The retailers generally seemed most interested in cloud solutions and in enhanced reporting. They were a lively group, very engaged in the subject.'

"My word of advice to retailers: Get trained on your retail technology and use every bit of it….squeeze out all the return you can get on such a major investment. It’s so exciting and fun to learn all the great things you can do!"

Tea was founded in 2002 in San Francisco, starting out with pima cotton baby sweaters and inspired by classic Asian styles and colors. The goal being to bring a fusion of worldwide cultures and design to children's fashion and expanding into women's wear in 2010. Each season they travel to international destinations and design a collection based on their inspiring experiences.

The name "Tea Collection" is rooted in the same concept of culture since tea is enjoyed throughout every corner of the globe.

What Retailers Are Saying About the Future of Retailing?

"Retailers appear to understand the need to customize the in-store experience to appeal to the modern shopper, yet a high proportion are unable to do so. Three-quarters of retailers said they don’t know when a specific customer is in the store, and 85% cannot customize a store visit. Additionally, 89% are unable to connect customers’ activities online with what they do in the store today."

The retail industry is on the fast track technologically. Media Post and Motorola Solutions have published some very interesting statistics on what retailers are projecting for the future of retailing and retail technology. The full article will very much be of interest to retailers.

As you note in the above chart, evolving the in store experience for customers is viewed as "critical" and will advance greatly in a vast majority of retail stores over the next 5 years. Engagement comes in several forms; requiring customer contact capture, a comprehensive CRM, OMNI channel and much more. You may wonder what exactly that will mean and how you can maintain your brands personality and evolve without breaking the bank, there are few systems that can support the needs that retailers will be facing in just 5 years and we are more than proud to have a variety of options to suit retailers of all kinds.

One Step Retail Solutions is currently working with dozens of retailers across the US to create customized and all-inclusive retail management systems that will take them into the future. Our systems are top of the line, highly regarded within the industry and our consultative approach will ensure all of your personalized needs are not only met but surpassed.

We wish you all of the best in the exciting years to come and hope that we can be of assistance in making your dreams come true.
