Checkout Nova
This mobile POS solution allows retailers to seamlessly complete transactions from anywhere in the store. It’s not just about payments though: Checkout Nova can also access in-store and online inventory, support discounts, coupons, and loyalty points, and mix in-store and online products into one order.
Assisted Selling
Retail associates become trusted advisors when they use Tulip’s assisted selling features like mobile omnichannel catalog access, real-time product ratings and reviews and social media activity, advanced searching capabilities, and more.
Runner
Almost everyone has experienced needing some extra help locating an item in a store, only to be left alone for minutes as the store associate completes the request. With Tulip’s Runner, employees can request items from other coworkers real-time on a mobile device (even a smart watch) and never leave the customer waiting.
What’s New with Tulip in 2020?
In 2020, mobility is setting Tulip apart in the retail space. Tulip has worked with some of the world’s largest retailers in powering transactions from anywhere on the sales floor. Associates can build a basket, take a full transaction, look up orders, complete returns, and more – all on the go, without customers lining up and waiting in a queue.
