The aim of the programme is to renew and strengthen the foundation of LCBO&#8217;s IT infrastructure. In addition to GK, the retailer has also opted for Adobe, Blue Yonder, Manhattan Associates, Microsoft, Mirakl, Opterus, Pegasystems, SAP and Salesforce.<\/p>\n<p>The state-owned beer, wine and spirits retailer chose GK to streamline its processes, increase customer loyalty and offer more omnichannel options to its customers. GK&#8217;s Retail Store Inventory Management (SIM) solution is one of the tools that LCBO will implement together with SAP Retail as its central merchandise management system system.<\/p>\n<p>LCBO is a government agency that sells and distributes alcoholic beverages throughout the province of Ontario, Canada. LCBO&#8217;s FSM programme is the largest initiative in the organisation&#8217;s history. It aims to reduce time to market by standardising processes and leveraging cutting-edge technology, while providing a personalised, seamless experience for wholesale and retail customers. By implementing GK&#8217;s technology, LCBO will not only replace its existing inventory management, order management and point-of-sale systems, but also set new standards for efficiency and customer centricity.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Canada&#8217;s largest alcoholic beverage retailer, Liquor Control Board of Ontario (LCBO), has selected GK Software&#8217;s Cloud4Retail solution as part of its multi-year Future State Modernisation (FSM) transformation programme.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":28,"featured_media":20547,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"content-type":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[36],"tags":[769,483,191,2226,1798,403,2227,2228,2229,770,454],"class_list":["post-20551","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news-en","tag-adobe-en","tag-blue-yonder-en","tag-gk-software-en","tag-lcbo-en","tag-manhattan-associates-en","tag-microsoft-en","tag-mirakl-en","tag-opterus-en","tag-pegasystems-en","tag-salesforce-en","tag-sap-en"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
