If you’ve ever juggled multiple systems just to get one simple answer — you’re not alone. Retail teams today deal with a maze of disconnected tools that don’t always talk to each other, leaving associates, managers, and warehouse staff piecing together information from different screens and spreadsheets. It’s time-consuming, frustrating, and expensive.
That’s why unified commerce is such a game-changer. Beyond improving the customer experience, it transforms what your teams deal with every single day, making their work smoother, faster, and far less stressful.
Disconnected data creates more than just operational noise. It affects every part of daily retail life.
Take your store team trying to locate an item. They might have to check the POS, the inventory system, maybe even call the warehouse. Each tool gives a slightly different answer. That’s inefficient and demotivating.
Then there’s the financial impact. You’re not just paying for those separate tools — you’re paying in wasted time, duplicated effort, and missed opportunities. Each system adds friction. And your associates are the ones who feel it most.
Unified commerce solves that by bringing sales, inventory, loyalty, eCommerce, and reporting into one real-time platform. Everyone sees the same data at the same time.
Ask any associate or manager what slows them down, and you’ll hear some familiar answers: manual inventory counts, handwritten notes, guesswork in forecasting, or slow transaction times when the store is busy.
Unified commerce takes those frustrations off their plate.
When your inventory updates automatically across every channel, there’s no more jotting things down or hoping your manual forecast is close enough. When transactions move at the speed of your customers, associates can focus on service instead of waiting for screens to load.
These small improvements add up. Day after day, they create real breathing room for your team — and that translates into better service, higher morale, and smoother operations.

At FieldStack, we understand these challenges because we’ve lived them.
As our CEO Brett Wickard likes to say, 'we’re born of retail.'
FieldStack grew out of firsthand frustration with disconnected systems and slow processes. Our team has been in the aisles, at the registers, and in the back rooms. That experience shaped how we designed our unified commerce platform — to make life easier for real retail teams.
It’s one thing to talk about streamlined workflows — it’s another to see them in action. Just look at Renys, a Maine-based department store chain that adopted FieldStack’s unified commerce platform.
After implementing FieldStack, Renys saw:
Those metrics represent valuable time saved for store associates and warehouse staff. And less time chasing data and running through spreadsheets means more time spent helping your customers.

Before FieldStack was a platform, it was a frustration — too many disconnected systems and too much wasted time. After years spent in stores, registers, and stockrooms, we built the solution we wished we’d had: a unified commerce platform made for real retail teams.
The result? Smoother operations, happier teams, and a better experience for every customer who walks through your doors.
