vrSoftware Mockshop Raises Retail Sales Performance at Aigle
Boroughbridge, England, May 31, 2011. vrSoftware™, the market leading provider of "Visual Retailing" software solutions, today announced that Aigle is using vrSoftware Mockshop® to design and visually merchandise its stores.
Aigle, founded in 1853 to produce rubber boots, today offers durable, functional, fashionable clothing, shoes and boots for men, women and children using innovative design, materials and production techniques. "Our philosophy is to help man live in harmony with nature, to experience the freedom of nature, and to discover all the pleasures and sensations it has to offer. Our store designs and visual merchandising must support those characteristics and we chose Mockshop to help us achieve that," said Stephane Brault, Visual Merchandiser, Aigle. "Before we had Mockshop we were always playing catch up and were often late with our merchandising guidelines to stores. Now we are actually ahead of the game and can even advise our buyers on effective visual merchandising during the range building process. Mockshop has proven to be a superb communication tool that automates production of easy to use planograms that have harmonized our stores layouts and drive our sale conversion rates."
"Aigle have dramatically improved their Visual Merchandising process. Within just 3 cycles of producing MockShop designs and planograms Stephane and his team felt 'fully operational' with the tool," said Sjef van Dongen, Director, Visual Instinct, the local vrSoftware Solution Provider.
"We're delighted to have been selected by Aigle through the expertise of vrSoftware Solution Provider, Visual Instinct," said Colin Liversedge, MD, vrSoftware. "Creating and delivering easy to execute store merchandising instructions for every branch store is a tough problem. Poor and inconsistent merchandising in retail stores results in lost sales, low sales conversion rates, excessive markdowns and poor brand image. Recent trends, of vastly increasing merchandise cycles from the historical 2 seasons per year, have exacerbated the issue. Mockshop is one tool from vrSoftware visual retailing suite; it enables creating, delivering and executing quality visual merchandising instructions. Interactive virtual store modeling and visual merchandising automates production of visual 'planograms' enables collaboration between visual merchandisers and staff in each retail store to boost conversions, basket sizes and sales per square foot."
