NuORDER by Lightspeed helps Bloomingdale's evolve buying approach

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 9, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- NuORDER by Lightspeed (NYSE: LSPD) (TSX: LSPD) highlights its positive collaboration with retail client Bloomingdale's.

The partnership has delivered meaningful impact for Bloomingdales buying processes during market appointments, order writing and style outs. With NuORDER by Lightspeed, Bloomingdale's has digitized key buying processes by enabling its buyers and brands to collaborate digitally and in real time, creating meaningful efficiencies. This has led to reduced time spent on writing orders and preparing for style out reviews for key buying teams.

"With Bloomie's, we wanted to offer the best of Bloomingdale's with a curated lens. NuORDER by Lightspeed gave us the ability to curate with precision for the Bloomie's assortment, which is a very different environment and footprint. In order to achieve the desired experience, we needed to make sure we have volume in all styles, without duplication," said Denise Magid, Executive Vice President, General Merchandise Manager of RTW, Center Core, Outlets & Concessions, Bloomingdale's.

The visually-driven and intuitive NuORDER by Lightspeed platform was key for Bloomingdale's to build the assortment for Bloomie's, its new smaller store concept which offers an approachable and elevated mix of top designers, luxury brands, and emerging labels. The NuORDER by Lightspeed proprietary assortment tool enabled Bloomingdale's to complete its first fully digital buy for the new Bloomie's location and deliver a unique curation for customers.

"We are thrilled to partner with a forward-thinking business like Bloomingdale's and empower their teams with the tools and data they need to curate with precision. In the current remote working environment, the ability to visualize the buy on our platform allowed them to capitalize on white space opportunities and eliminate highly manual processes," said Olivia Skuza, Co-founder of NuORDER and General Manager, NuORDER by Lightspeed.

In the current fast-changing environment, the ability for retailers to accelerate product item setup, fast order writing and PO creation and online setup is a major advantage to help drive efficiency with technology and to deliver the best curated product experience to customers.
