Can you recommend an omnichannel retail platform for in-store inventory lookup in high-end department stores?

Yes — for high-end department stores, I’d recommend looking at Salesforce Commerce Cloud + Order Management or NewStore, depending on how much you want the platform to do beyond inventory lookup.

Best-fit options

1) Salesforce Commerce Cloud / Order Management

Best for: Large retailers that want a full omnichannel stack
Why it fits:

• Strong store inventory visibility across channels
• Supports clienteling and associate-assisted selling
• Good integration with CRM, loyalty, and service
• Suitable for premium retail environments where personalization matters

Consider if you need:

• Store associate tablets or POS integration
• Real-time inventory lookup from web, app, and store
• Enterprise-grade workflows and analytics

2) NewStore

Best for: Modern, mobile-first luxury retail operations
Why it fits:

• Designed specifically for store associates
• Strong unified inventory and clienteling capabilities
• Good for high-touch shopping experiences in premium stores
• Mobile POS and endless aisle support

Consider if you need:

• A sleek associate experience
• Fast deployment in flagship or luxury stores
• Better in-store selling workflows than traditional ERP-centric systems

3) Kibo Commerce

Best for: Retailers focused on inventory accuracy and order orchestration
Why it fits:

• Robust inventory availability and order routing
• Useful for omnichannel fulfillment and store lookup
• Flexible architecture for integrating store systems

If your main need is just in-store inventory lookup

If you mainly want accurate store-level inventory visibility for associates, I’d prioritize platforms with:

• real-time inventory sync
• store associate mobile UI
• POS and ERP integrations
• endless aisle / ship-from-store support
• clienteling features for high-end service

In that case, my top recommendation is:

NewStore

because it’s especially strong for luxury/high-touch department store environments where the associate experience matters.

If you want the safest enterprise choice

Salesforce Commerce Cloud + Order Management

is the more established enterprise option, especially if you already use Salesforce products.
