PRESTIGE Partner Day: Seamless communication along the entire customer journey is becoming increasingly important for consumers

Under the motto "Shopping with a smile - Impressive moments with PRESTIGE", retail experts met in Heidelberg for the 11th PRESTIGE Partner Day organised by Online Software AG

Weinheim, 19 January 2017 +++ Online Software AG welcomed customers and partners to the 11th PRESTIGE Partner Day in Heidelberg on 17 January 2017. This year's retail event was held under the motto "Shopping with a smile - Impressive moments with PRESTIGE" and focussed on ideas and solutions that make consumers happy. For example, Dr Kai Hudetz from IFH Cologne spoke about the networked shopper and how to inspire online customers offline. Hasan Cürük from Knauber reported on his experiences with the introduction of technical innovations and Ralf Wilker from Lekkerland talked about the petrol station shops of tomorrow. Armin Henningsen and Sven Schalk from Diebold Nixdorf described the need for a personalised customer approach and the possibilities of intelligent promotion management at the checkout and Carsten Schemberg from dlv Netzwerk Ladenbau highlighted the new requirements for shopfitting in the context of the digitalisation of the POS.

"We are delighted that we were once again able to attract top-class speakers for our Partner Day this year and put together an exciting programme of presentations that hit the nerve of the times and once again brought our customers and partners to us in large numbers to discuss new technologies and future-oriented solutions for the retail sector," says Jürgen Berens von Rautenfeld, CEO of Online Software AG. "We had to change the venue this year because the number of participants has risen continuously in recent years and have found a location with a particularly innovative flair in the SRH Campus in Heidelberg."

In addition to the presentation of the latest functions of the PRESTIGEenterprise software platform and the presentation of technically advanced solutions, the main focus was on personal discussions and the exchange of experiences between PRESTIGE users. The latest technologies and future strategies for price and advertising communication in retail were discussed in detail.

Anyone who wanted to could get in the mood for the event in a relaxed atmosphere at the get-together the evening before. The relaxed evening event paved the way for an honest and intensive exchange of experiences with digital signage solutions, printed and mobile in-store communication and the use of PRESTIGE in a wide range of industries.

Gerd Betz, Director Retail, is already looking forward to next year: "Open communication with all PRESTIGE users and the joint development of new future topics is the basis for the success of our software. We always have an open ear for our customers and partners, which is why the PRESTIGE Partner Day is always particularly important to us."
