Shop In A Bag

The best customer selling experience in stores, online and on-the-go

Shop in a Bag includes everything your stores need in one solution: a portfolio of retail products and services that work together to get stores up and running on time.

We created Shop in A Bag because, for the retail sector today, network services are essential to provide the most effective customer selling experience in stores, online and on-the-go. In fact, lack of connectivity results in a major loss of revenue and significant impact on store operations.

Therefore, punctuality is essential: retail companies cannot, for any reason, skip a store opening date.

Retail sector CIOs and IT teams are under constant pressure to ensure that digital and network services are ready in time for upcoming openings, even at short notice. In addition, they must be 100% available during day-to-day operations.
