Last year in review & what's next for Cloudshelf in 2025 🚀

Cloudshelf monthly update #30 - January 2025

As we step into 2025, we reflect on a year of milestones and innovations. Here's a look back at 2024 and a peek at what's ahead!

Wrap-up of 2024

This was the year we started generating some serious new revenues and RoI for some seriously large retailers.

🌐 Streamlining integration for retailers

We welcomed new global sports retailers, mobile operators and department stores to our customer base, in large part thanks to our new integrations 

• The launch of our Omnichannel API and new connectors for Shopify, Salesforce and Magento makes it easier for retailers to seamlessly integrate with Cloudshelf—no need for costly custom solutions. A special shout-out to partners Cogent2, Patchworks and Customer Times for their incredible support! 
• Our Android app went live on the Google Play Store, joining our works-everywhere webapp, providing a simple way for retailers to get started with Cloudshelf and connect devices instantly.

🛍️ Effortless in-store purchases!

 Cloudshelf expanded from being an entirely self contained experience, to one that connects to anything that is key to closing a sale.

•  Shoppers can now use QR code and RFID scanning to browse and purchase products in-store. Retailers can experience these features firsthand with demo units at The Barcode Warehouse’s ICE showroom.
• Our Flexible kiosk payment offers shoppers options like mobile checkout via Shopify and Salesforce, card payments through Viva, and Buy Now Pay Later solutions like Alma—making in-store transactions seamless.
• Through our collaboration with Star Micronics, retailers can now print payment and click-and-collect receipts directly from Cloudshelf kiosks.

🛠️ Even sleeker design, faster, more powerful & customisable

• We released our Search Anything feature - empowering shoppers and staff to find any product, even if it’s not displayed on the kiosk screen. 
• We introduced additional powerful features to enhance the retail experience, including our Attract loop, Checkout flow builder, Product label customiser, CSS customiser, and Upsell collection features.

🎉 A year of major milestones

• Gaining our SOC 2 certification was a game-changer. Achieving this milestone ensures that Cloudshelf meets the highest standards for data security, building trust and confidence with our retail partners.
• The world’s largest sports retailer praises the simplicity and ROI of our solution, highlighting its impact on innovative retail.
• We were thrilled to share our expertise at major events and during podcasts throughout the year, with leaders like Samsung, SignageLive, Elo, Salesforce, M-Cube, and LamasaTech, sparking meaningful conversations about redefining in-store experiences.
