Bringing Omnichannel to Every Retailer
Retail Just Got Smarter : The Shopify Way
Today’s customers expect convenience at every touchpoint. From browsing online to buying in-store, collecting their purchase how and when they choose, and staying loyal to brands that make it easy.
For years, this kind of seamless omnichannel experience was only achievable for large enterprises with deep pockets and complex systems.
Now, thanks to IT Visions’ Shopify integration, smaller and mid-sized retailers can deliver the same connected shopping journey- without the technical or financial burden.
The result? Retail just got smarter.
The Brief
IT Visions has long delivered advanced web integrations using platforms such as Magento (Adobe Commerce) and commerce tools, helping large retailers streamline online and in-store operations.
However, many mid-tier retailers were left behind, unable to afford or manage those enterprise-grade platforms. They needed:
A cost-effective, self-managed eCommerce solution
Full integration with their existing IT Visions POS
The ability to offer Click & Collect, manage loyalty programs, and synchronise sales and inventory — all without replacing their systems.
The goal was clear: make omnichannel retail accessible to everyone.
The IT Visions Approach
IT Visions leveraged Shopify’s user-friendly, scalable platform to deliver a plug-and-play omnichannel integration with its POS system.
Through this approach, retailers can now:
Launch an online store quickly and affordably
Retailers can get up and running in days, not months. Shopify’s self-managed platform paired with IT Visions’ POS integration removes the need for expensive developers or complex back-end systems.
Offer Click & Collect with real-time stock visibility
Customers can shop online and collect in-store with confidence, knowing their items are available and ready. With real-time inventory updates between channels, retailers reduce overselling, improve fulfilment accuracy, and deliver the convenience today’s customers expect.
Automate marketing, loyalty, and fulfilment
By connecting Shopify’s ecosystem with IT Visions POS, retailers can automate key processes. From marketing emails through Mailchimp to loyalty programs, review requests, and order notifications: saving staff time, ensuring consistency, and strengthening customer engagement without adding extra admin.
Keep all customer, sales, and inventory data in sync between in-store and online channels
Every transaction, customer interaction, and stock movement is automatically synchronised between systems. Retailers gain a single, accurate source of truth across all locations and channels — making reporting, forecasting, and customer service smoother and smarter.
This integration brings the sophistication of enterprise systems into an intuitive, self-managed environment designed for real retail operations.
What changed for the customer
For IT Visions’ retail customers, this integration has been transformative.
They can now:
Seamlessly manage in-store and online sales from one platform
Offer Click & Collect with automated order updates and notifications
Run targeted loyalty programs and automated marketing campaigns through tools like Mailchimp
Access real-time analytics for smarter decision-making
Most importantly, these businesses are now equipped to compete with major brands — without the major price tag or complexity.
Retailers across industries such as homewares, baby wares, consumer electronics, and fashion are already using this integration to deliver a connected customer experience once reserved for the big players.
Why it worked
Designed for Real Retail: While Shopify offers its own POS, IT Visions brings the advantage of deep retail expertise and localised support, ensuring the system fits each business’s operational needs — not the other way around.
Seamless Data Synchronisation: Inventory, pricing, and customer information automatically sync between online and in-store systems, reducing manual input, errors, and admin time.
Enterprise Functionality Without the Overhead: From Salesforce CRM integration and complex supplier rebates to advanced loyalty programs and return workflows — retailers gain access to high-end functionality at a fraction of the usual cost.
Omnichannel Made Achievable...For ALL Retailers.
IT Visions’ integration with Shopify has made omnichannel retail not only possible but practical for growing businesses. Retailers can now sell anywhere, fulfil efficiently, and engage customers effortlessly, all while maintaining full control of their operations through their existing POS system.
With this partnership, IT Visions continues to bridge the gap between enterprise capability and small business accessibility, empowering retailers to thrive in an ever-evolving market.
