Skechers upgrade to the DigiPoS Retail Blade due to ease of maintenance and extended product life cycle. 

Skechers USA, Inc., an award-winning global leader in the lifestyle footwear industry, designs, develops and markets lifestyle footwear that appeals to trend savvy men, women and children. A billion dollar company, Skechers’ success stems from its high-quality, varied product offering, diversified domestic and international distribution channels, and cutting-edge print and television advertising.

With more than 2,000 styles, Skechers meets the needs of male and female consumers across every age and demographic. Domestically, Skechers sells its products to department and specialty stores across the country. The Company also sells its Skechers brands directly to American consumers through more than 160 company owned and operated retail stores in high traffic destinations.

Skechers management decided to upgrade the current hardware in their stores and contacted SalePoint to provide a proposal on the store upgrades. SalePoint teamed with its hardware partner, DigiPoS, to provide a proposal on the hardware upgrade. Upon review of the various equipment options available, Skechers chose the DigiPoS Retail Blade 4 POS unit with DigiPoS provided peripherals including 15 inch flat panel displays and Epson receipt printers.

In addition, Skechers selected Ingenico i6550 pin pads for their stores. DigiPoS’ value proposition and ease of maintenance were key factors in meeting Skechers’ needs for their new store systems.
