Swiftly technology is powering the 99's new, intuitive mobile app to provide a connected in-store shopping experience with multi-language capabilities.

Retailers can leverage the advantages of their brick-and-mortar locations by offering an omnichannel shopping experience that is tailored to their customers' purchasing preferences and boost customer loyalty. The collaboration with Swiftly allows 99 Cents Only Stores to immediately offer a unique, connected shopping experience.
