The world’s leading retailers trust Irisys technology to manage, improve and maximize their in-store operations.

Delivering the ultimate shopper experience increases customer loyalty. And though retailers have personalized customer service for decades, they have primarily been limited to using historical data to make critical in-store decisions.

One is known for high-end fashion and accompanying high prices – and the other for affordability. But they’re both committed to delivering consistent, high-quality service to their customers. And that’s why a recent Market Force Information study found that Nordstrom and Kohl’s, respectively, are America’s No. 1 and No. 2 fashion retailers.

Irisys has awarded two partner companies for outstanding achievements in delivering innovative products and superior customer service.
