How Front Systems supports modern retail operations

How Front Systems supports modern retail operations 

Modern fashion and sports retail require systems that work seamlessly together. Front Systems supports daily store operations with a cloud-based POS and omnichannel solution built specifically for fashion and sports retail. The focus is control, speed, and accuracy at checkout and beyond. 

Helly Hansen optimizes retail operations through Front Systems and RFID integration 

Helly Hansen serves as a concrete example of how Front Systems supports modern retail operations. In their stores in 17 countries, Helly Hansen uses Front Systems’ POS, fully integrated with RFID technology delivered by Nedap Retail, in collaboration with Securitas Technology Norway. 

Retail operations with real time visibility 

Helly Hansen runs their retail operations through a direct ERP integration with Front Systems, meaning every product, price update, and incoming delivery is automatically reflected in the POS the moment it happens at headquarters. Store staff no longer manage manual imports or chase updates, as the system handles it. With real time visibility into stock levels and transaction data across all stores, the team at HQ always knows exactly what is selling, what is sitting, and what needs to move. 

RFID connected directly to checkout 

By connecting RFID directly to Front Systems, every sale instantly updates inventory levels. RFID tags can be read in bulk and without line of sight, reducing friction at the counter and eliminating manual stock counts. RFID increases stock accuracy from 70% to 90%, which has a direct impact on revenue due to lower reduction rates. 

This integration provides the foundation for more accurate omnichannel services, such as reliable in store availability, BOPIS, and improved visibility across channels. For Helly Hansen, RFID combined with Front Systems’ POS improves efficiency, data accuracy, and the overall store experience for both employees and customers.
