“A retailer that optimizes its e-Commerce channel can see returns in lower shopping cart abandonment and higher conversions, but also may see increases in sales across the organization as customers continue to use e-Commerce channels for research before going to a physical store to make purchases,” said Paula Da Silva, Senior VP of CitiXsys in a statement.

-
POS Interface Designer: allowing retailers to create terminal and mobile POS interface layouts based on business needs and branding preferences;
