Question
We are running our ecommerce through WooCommerce and capturing our customer data here. When they sign up to our data base and we talk to them via EDM's we are using MailChimp that is embedded in the WooCommerce site. We have just recently opened a retail store and we are using Retail Express. I would like capture all the customer data in one area for a loyalty programme, EDM etc. Retail Express looks to offer a loyalty programme so may be best to align this way but need some guidance as to what can be done to alleviate the 3 touch points we now have.
Answer
Thank you for your interest in Modern Retail. We don’t yet have an integration with Retail Express but we’d love to help you with one. I believe Retail Express has an API so it shouldn’t be too hard to connect our Integration Middleware to Retail Express.
May I make a suggestion? Could you please e-mail your representative at Retail Express and let them know you’re interested in getting Retail Express integrated with your website? If you copy me on the message, I’ll immediately reply asking to set up a meeting with Retail Express. Getting our developers to talk with their developers, even for 30 minutes, makes a huge difference and can really help to “jump start” the integration efforts.
You’ll find we’re experts at POS and ERP integrations, it’s something we been doing for over a decade and have amassed a great deal of knowledge and technology doing 1,300+ integrations. Here are just some of the articles that I can share with you that make us different.

- Avoid Overselling (Allocation) - Absolutely a brilliant feature!
- Outages & Automatic Recovery
- Difference Engine
- 100% Inventory Accuracy

Please let me know if you need anything else or would like to jump on a call before getting with Retail Express. Thank you.
