Elevating retail experiences with Veras Extend: A revolutionary customer experience application

January 27 2024

In the dynamic realm of retail, where seamless customer experiences are paramount, Veras Extend emerges as a groundbreaking customer experience application. This innovative solution caters to the evolving needs of modern consumers who seek a blend of digital and physical interactions during their shopping journey.

mPOS Device: Transforming retail operations

Veras Extend functions as an advanced Mobile Point of Sale (mPOS) device, redefining in-store operations. By seamlessly integrating with Veras CheckOut’s ERP, CRM, and other payment systems, it acts as an additional register, providing associates with the same pricing and promotions for streamlined operations. Associates can effortlessly conduct full point-of-sale transactions, ensuring secure payments, and even suspend transactions for completion on a standard register. The versatility of mPOS extends to offsite events or easily adding an in-store register, enhancing flexibility and efficiency.

Revolutionizing customer engagement with Affinity Clienteling

Driven by an ultra-responsive and intelligent engine, Veras Affinity within Veras Extend anticipates and fulfills customer desires. Through pre-defined preferences shaped by intelligent algorithms and ‘quick tips,’ it delivers highly personalized recommendations. What sets Affinity apart is the direct input from associates, strengthening data and training the AI to make smarter recommendations, thereby driving sales and enhancing customer relationships.

Endless aisle capabilities

Veras Extend’s unified product search transforms associates into informed guides, allowing them to search the entire global catalog. This enables the presentation of product availability, relevant promotions, and recommendations for similar items, reducing lost sales and meeting customer expectations. The capability to seamlessly ship to the store or directly to the customer from the mobile device adds a layer of convenience.

Enriching in-store exploration with price checker and 360 product view

Veras Extend’s Price Checker elevates the in-store experience, offering not just pricing details but an interactive touchscreen for shoppers. This empowers customers to explore products independently, providing a 360-degree view through rich product descriptions, images, and customer reviews. Additionally, shoppers gain visibility into all applicable promotions, accessories, and complementary items, delivering a holistic in-store experience that combines the best of brick-and-mortar and e-commerce.

Efficiency redefined with self-checkout

Veras Extend supports self-checkout, aligning with the preferences of 66 percent of shoppers who opt for self-service. This not only gives customers choice and speed but also enables retailers to maximize personnel productivity during off-peak hours. The utilization of floor space for driving more transactions ensures a seamless and efficient checkout experience.

Introducing Veras Extend’s Mobile POS Platform

Introducing Veras Extend’s Mobile POS Platform

September 16, 2019

Extend’s Mobile POS Delivers Beyond Traditional Point-of-Sale. And with Veras CheckOut, Extend’s mPOS is Included.

At the VerasONE 2019 user conference in Las Vegas today, we announced the availability of the new generation of the Veras Extend mobile platform. This new version of Extend replaces the previous iOS and Android native framework with a new look and feel, new capabilities, and a new technology paradigm.

New Paradigm. New Customer-Facing, In-Store Capabilities.
  • Bringing Ecommerce to the Store
    The Veras Extend platform is designed from the ground up to address omnichannel shopping in the store. From save-the-sale ordering and endless aisle extended catalog lookup, to clienteling tools to ensure a personalized shopping experience, Veras Extend delivers a single customer-facing experience.
  • Flexible Enough to Work with Any Platform
    Using a hybrid web/native app framework, it can run on just about any platform – iOS and Android to start with, with Windows, Linux, and MacOS coming in January – and any form factor – desktop, tablet, or handheld.
  • Expanding to Other Store-Facing Applications
    While the initial release of the Extend platform is focused on selling and customer-service scenarios that are most commonly requested by our customers for mobile use cases, the platform will eventually encompass all the store-facing functionality provided today, as well as new capabilities like self-checkout.
  • Fast, Flexible Deployments
    Just like Veras CheckOut, Veras Extend can be deployed in a multi-site cloud model, a distributed on-premises model for maximum resiliency, or any combination in between.

As with the previous generation of Veras Extend, the new version uses battle-tested functionality from Veras CheckOut, our enterprise point-of-sale application. Proven omnichannel ordering and promotional pricing capabilities, along with built-in payment processing and other third-party integrations are accessed by Veras Extend through a RESTful API layer. This allows Veras Extend to act as ‘just another register’ in the store, working seamlessly with Veras CheckOut data, business logic, and integrations.

Giving Retailers More Options

We understand that the enterprise mobility landscape for retailers is challenging. For instance, hardware providers that provide ruggedized enterprise solutions are expensive and inflexible, and grafting enterprise mobility sleds onto consumer devices such as iPads puts the retailer at the mercy of the yearly consumer hardware refresh cycle. By making the Veras Extend application platform-agnostic, we help provide retailers with more options. We’ve taken that a step further by embedding the lightning-fast Scandit camera-based scanning capability into Veras Extend.  

Scandit’s SaaS-based model allows retailers to use their scanning software across devices and platforms. If an iPad in your store breaks, replace it with an iPad mini, or a Samsung tablet. The Scandit subscription carries across devices, to ensure that you’re paying only for the scanning used. Combined with Scandit’s scanning performance, retailers can achieve both cost savings and flexibility.

Mobile POS Included with Veras CheckOut

Finally, to bury the lede completely, we are happy to announce that Veras Extend mPOS is included for all current and future users of Veras CheckOut. While other vendors move to a model where pricing varies by platform or by transaction volume, our pricing remains on a predictable per-store basis, regardless of the number of terminals per store, regardless of the platform, and regardless of the deployment model. 

At Veras Retail, we truly believe in empowering retailers with integrated mobile solutions to provide the best in-store experience. To learn more about our you can make mPOS work in your stores, download the Extend solution brief or contact us today for personalized demo.
