XcalibuR Windows App

The company lives up to very high quality standards in the manufacture and production of seating furniture. The company also sets this standard for its internal organization and continuously improves data communication processes. Releazz is therefore now relying on XcalibuR for high quality master data with automated and defined processes. With XcalibuR, Releazz exchanges data for highly varied products with its trading partners. The article master data from the production systems and other data sources is combined and delivered securely to the trading partners via an encrypted direct connection. This can then be used at the POS and for all multi-channel processes. In addition, Releazz goes a step further with the XcalibuR Windows 10 app for desktop, tablet and smartphone.

The Windows app serves both trading partners and end customers via the XcalibuR server. This provides access to the complete seating range, including article, fabric and color selection. The selected configuration is displayed in the 3D planner and can be further edited according to customer requirements. The review and ordering process is then initiated directly in the application. If the end device has a signature function, the order can be finally processed and the data transferred to the connected merchandise management system. Further post-processing at a stationary workstation is no longer necessary.

For Releazz, XcalibuR in conjunction with the Windows app is a valuable tool for supporting all retailers directly. XcalibuR thus creates many advantages for Releazz, its trading partners and end customers across the entire process chain.
