Openbravo, the global retail software solution vendor for agile and innovative retailing, today announced that it has been awarded a five-year contract by Cirque du Soleil. The new contract extends the current agreement dating from 2014 to deploy Openbravo POS software for its merchandising stores and across its 18 permanent and touring shows around the globe.
“We are very excited to have the opportunity to continue strengthening our partnership with such a highly respected market leader like Cirque du Soleil,” said Marco de Vries, CEO, Openbravo.” This new 5-year partnership represents for us an important vote of confidence in Openbravo. It builds on an existing excellent business relationship developed over the past few years and demonstrates the conviction of our respective teams of the value Openbravo can bring to Cirque du Soleil to help achieve its business and growth objectives.”
The two companies already work together to increase Cirque du Soleil’s business agility and enhanced customer experience through Openbravo POS to manage merchandising and food and beverage (F&B) sales by integrating with Cirque du soleil’s central ERP system. The use of Openbravo software will enable Cirque du Soleil to continue innovating at the point of sale with the introduction of new capabilities aimed at delivering an improved customer experience in all its merchandising stores and shows, as well as to progress with its omnichannel strategy.
“Cirque de Soleil has always been focused on offering exceptional experiences to our visitors so we wanted to also offer a stand-out customer experience in our stores and shows, and Openbravo’s innovative solution has allowed us to do that. It helps reduce waiting times by providing a faster and more convenient checkout experience, and it opens up many possibilities to roll-out new retailing scenarios in the future,” said Pierre-Luc Bisaillon, CIO, Cirque du Soleil. “We are pleased to continue our relationship with Openbravo as they have amply demonstrated that they are strongly committed to our business objectives. With this new contract, we expect to accelerate the transformation of the shopping experience in our merchandising stores and shows, while continue to benefit from improvements in efficiency and cost savings that come with Openbravo’s comprehensive functional coverage.”
