Lord & Taylor selects Episys for in-store signage

Published 25th November 2009

Lord & Taylor, the US fashion retailer, with 46 stores and an ecommerce site, will upgrade its signage software across its department stores, using Retail Enterprise Suite™ from global information technology solutions and services company, Episys.

The upgrade, which is due for completion early 2010, will provide Lord & Taylor with a host of new business management features, without interruption to business as usual. Jonathan Fritschle, Project Manager, Lord & Taylor, said, “Because the Retail Enterprise Suite is platform independent, we can use any operating system or database management system where required, without having to worry about compatibility with our signage system. With Episys’ proven upgrade path, we are able to implement the new software in a relatively short time without losing current signage or signage content.”

The multi-phased software upgrade will begin with a complete replacement of Lord & Taylor’s current signage system. Future phases will allow for easy implementation of additional modules including Inventory Integration and Price Integration.

Fritschle continued, “We look forward to working with Episys to determine what additional modules may be needed to fulfill our business needs”.

Peter Lewis, Episys Marketing Director, said, “This software upgrade will allow Lord & Taylor to change and grow with the ever-evolving retail marketplace. We look forward to our continued partnership with them.”
