enVista Maintains Position as Top Supply Chain Consulting Firm for Retail Industry

INDIANAPOLIS (January 18, 2016)— enVista, a leading supply chain consulting and IT services firm, continues to grow its retail practice across omni-channel supply chain with the introduction of a new software solutions business, Enspire Commerce, a growing roster of major retail clients and a dedicated practice made up of former retail executives.

Today, many mid-market companies face the same omni-channel complexities as larger retailers. enVista founded Enspire Commerce to address gaps in the marketplace for price-competitive solutions that solve the complexities of omni-channel inventory visibility, order routing and fulfillment execution between retailers and their stores, logistics partners and vendors. The Enspire Commerce cloud-based, single platform solution delivers Advanced Order Management, Enterprise Inventory Visibility, Omni-channel Order Fulfillment, Mobile Point of Sale, Product Information Management and Trading Partner Connectivity.

enVista President and CEO Jim Barnes said, "A lot is changing in the customer-centric world of omni-channel retail, and it's mission-critical for supply chains to keep pace. We founded Enspire Commerce to deliver a very different, customer-centric approach to retail that drives revenue and profitability by capturing sales, fulfilling from multiple inventory sources and delivering a unified cross-channel brand experience to consumers."

A major differentiator, adding to enVista's successful retail solutions practice, is its team of dedicated, former executives from major retail brands, including GAP, Restoration Hardware, Williams-Sonoma, J.Crew, Toy-R-Us.com, Sears Holdings Corporation, and Dean & DeLuca. Our team of consultants offers deep, practical, omni-channel retail industry experience and unparalleled hand-on expertise to improve customer service, profitability and competitive advantage.
