What:  Cegid enters a new market by proposing a multi-device, multi-operating system omnichannel solution to its retail customers

Why it is important:  To what extent this solution is new and innovates when compared to already existing players, such as Shopify, remains to be looked at. Also, one might wonder about the late timing of such a strategic move.

Cegid is launching a cloud-based omnichannel and collaborative store solution, to help retailers accelerating in their digital transformation. Cegid is known for operating many systems at the POS level (including cash desks) which makes the integration easier. It also includes apps and software compatible with any device and operating systems, helping both staff and customers to make the most of the proposed solutions wherever they are. It is also mentioned to be coming as an interesting way to maximize Shopify features but one may wonder if Cegid is not trying to replicate their strategy, and also if they are not too late in doing so.
