Kohl department store to use Oracle Solutions to Support Multi-Channel Retail Operations.

Kohl's previously announced that it will relaunch Kohls.com on an e-commerce platform from Oracle Corp. this summer. It will also test a mobile payment acceptance technology in stores later this year. In 2012, Kohl's generated $1.43 billion in sales on the web, up 41.6% from $1.01 billion in 2011. It is No. 28 in Internet Retailer's Top 500 Guide. "We have made significant investments in our IT and omnichannel initiatives to ensure we have the platforms, technology and tools to allow customers to shop when they want and from where they want," Mansell says.

Good Morning. Kohl's Corp. views the digital wallet as much more than a payments system. The retailer is betting that its loyalty program, which features a mobile, digital wallet inside the Kohl's app, will provide a key competitive advantage for this holiday season and beyond, and help make up for a bleak third quarter. A pilot program across 300 stores in 2013 and 2014 produced about 10 million enrollees in the loyalty program, CIO Janet Schalk told CIO Journal's Steven Norton. Since launching nationwide in early October, that number has doubled to 20 million. Most technology payments providers solely focus on payments, says Ratnakar Lavu, Kohl's EVP for digital technology. While he doesn't deny the importance of payments, he says "there's really no one who's doing something related to offers or rewards." Kohl's has redesigned its website and mobile apps, implemented Oracle Corp. systems to handle inventory and pricing, and is testing a new point-of-sale system. It also has rolled out "buy online, pick up in store" options at some stores, and is shipping products from about 800 locations. Eventually, Kohl's may look to integrate its loyalty program with its payments systems. The company has built systems that will take different kinds of payments and integrate with other mobile wallets in the marketplace.

In January, the retailer unveiled its "Greatness Agenda," a broad effort to maximize omnichannel customer engagement that is based on an Oracle Retail platform.

Value-oriented specialty department store Kohl's is transforming many of its core retail operations to accommodate recent growth and ensure that both its store and online shopping experiences reflect the unique preferences of consumers, no matter where they live and shop.

"Consumers require access to their favorite brands 24/7 via nearby stores, their desktop, or using a mobile device, and Kohl's is moving quickly to deliver that type of personalized and relevant commerce-anywhere experience. By implementing the Oracle Retail family of applications, Kohl's is establishing a foundation to drive ongoing growth," said Mike Webster, senior vice president and general manager, Oracle Retail.

"Oracle Retail has provided our merchants with more visibility to make informed decisions with better data to optimize performance at the item and store level," said Janet Schalk, executive VP and CIO, Kohl's. "Equally important, the Oracle Retail implementation establishes a foundation for future growth and innovation."

Oracle Retail solutions have played a key role in Kohl's multi-step business transformation process. Over time, the retailer has implemented a series of technologies to empower team members to anticipate customer demand, identify new market opportunities, and roll out more relevant and effective products and promotions across all channels.

Kohl's overhauled its core merchandising, inventory, and pricing operations with the launch of a new Oracle Retail Merchandise Operations Management solution, enabling a unified system of record for inventory to better serve customers across channels, and to simplify its business user experience.
