And integration with existing ecommerce systems ensures that shoppers can always browse, search and purchase in-stock items.
And Revel says that its app offer a touch-optimized shopping experience for the tablet, whether as Apps or HTML5 browser experiences, and for smartphones. Brands ranging from Anthropologie to Conde Nast’s Lucky Magazine to Design Within Reach have used Revel to extend online shopping to mobile platforms.
