Zodio Rolls Out Openbravo POS Solution to Offer New Omnichannel Capabilities

Zôdio, a brand serving individuals who are passionate about cooking and decorating, has effectively revealed the Openbravo POS answer for all its stores in France, enabling it to offer new omnichannel capabilities and more proficient client assistance. After an effective three-month pilot, Zôdio finished the rollout of Openbravo POS to its 20 stores and 220 POS terminals.

Zôdio went to Openbravo when it required another POS arrangement that consented to the French anti-fraud law. In addition, Zôdio was searching for an omnichannel platform to improve its client support. The Openbravo POS arrangement was already affirmed to conform to the legislation and, thanks to its complete omnichannel capabilities, it has demonstrated to be an ideal fit.

Zôdio today has a feature-rich portable POS arrangement that bolsters a broad range of customizable products, utensils, gear and consumables, along with services to personalize and live a special encounter. Utilizing the Openbravo arrangement, Zôdio store associates currently have full stock perceivability at the retail location and can offer clients services like Click and Collect, and choices like home conveyance, which can be arranged in the store. In addition, the arrangement offers tight integration with other Zôdio frameworks.

In the store, the checkout experience has been significantly improved. Store associates can utilize portable terminals anywhere in the store as "line busters" to decrease checkout lines. Also, versatile terminals can be utilized in the cooking and creative workshops that Zôdio runs in its stores to avoid clients having to go to checkout lines to pay for articles after the workshop.

The Openbravo POS supports digital receipts and extraordinary failure contact scenarios, for example, curbside pickup and it tends to be also easily and immediately arranged to act as a self-checkout arrangement, a mode that has been trialed in one store and may be expanded to different stores.

"We were particularly impressed with the functional capabilities of the Openbravo POS solution as they have allowed us to improve the service levels we offer to Zôdio customers," says Arnaud Tételin CIO of Zôdio. "In addition, Openbravo has worked tirelessly to meet the tight deadlines we set to roll out these new capabilities to all our stores."

"As Zôdio clearly demonstrates, the physical store continues to play a key role in specialty retail areas, both as a venue to experience products as an omnichannel fulfilment hub," says Bruno Menteaux, General Manager of Openbravo France and Northern Europe.  "We at Openbravo share this vision. Zôdio challenged us with ambitious goals in terms of digital and omnichannel capabilities, but also in terms of timing. Thanks to Zôdio and Openbravo working hand in hand as a strong team and thanks also to Openbravo's software and cloud capabilities, we achieved our goal."

Finastra's Filogix unveils automated lender note capabilities, powered by Gen AI

Finastra | February 21, 2024

Finastra's Filogix team has unveiled new generative AI (Gen AI) capabilities in its Expert Pro Canadian Mortgage Point of Sale (POS) solution. The function automates the creation of borrower narratives (notes) that aids in lender underwriting – streamlining processes, saving time and minimizing errors for brokers. With just a single click, users can generate a comprehensive summary of the mortgage deal, covering all the relevant criteria. The content can be reviewed, edited and then sent for underwriting much faster, as compared to the traditional manual process. Content can be auto-composed in English or French, and brokers can choose the format and which elements of the mortgage application to include for a more tailored and personalized experience. Jonathan Wootten, Head of Filogix at Finastra said, "We're very proud of this significant milestone. As a leader in financial technology solutions, we are committed to harnessing the power of Gen AI to enhance our own business processes, as well as to bringing exciting innovations to our customers. In our recent annual survey, 83% of financial services professionals said that their institution is interested in Gen AI. This mirrors the enthusiasm we see in the marketplace for the new functionality in our Expert Pro solution for brokers. We look forward to continuing to bring our customers opportunities to tap into the innovative and transformative technology that is Gen AI." The Auto-Compose functionality has a secure private model at the core, which stands out from other systems built around public models. Filogix Expert Pro allows mortgage professionals to centralize their business through workflow optimization, resulting in improved consumer experience, more time to manage new opportunities, and funding deals faster.
