AUSTIN, Texas, January 5, 2015 -- Epicor Software Corporation, a global leader in business
software solutions for retail, manufacturing, distribution, and services organizations, today announced

hundreds of millions of dollars of gross merchandise value annually -- include leading and emerging
global and domestic retailers and branded manufacturers such as 3M, Liberty Hardware, TempurPedic, Bluemercury, Hue, Atwoods, and Plow & Hearth.
ShopVisible and its proven, scalable multitenant software as a service (SaaS) solutions in
combination with the complementary Epicor retail transaction, enterprise and analytics systems, will
enable retailers to optimize the customer experience for consumers across a growing number of
mobile devices, channels and interaction points. Offering one view of products, one view of
customers, and one view of orders, the solution is updated in real-time, is available from any point of
interaction, and integrates multiple transaction and data points to fulfill the business and customer
demands in today’s omni-channel retail environment.
ShopVisible solutions -- now part of the Epicor Retail suite of solutions -- will be showcased both in
the Epicor booth #3602 and Epicor | ShopVisible booth #322 at the National Retail Federation’s 104th
Annual Convention and EXPO at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center in New York City later this

will present in a BIG !deas session on Tuesday, Jan. 13 from 2:30 to 3:30 PM, Level 3 Expo Hall,
Room 4. In this session titled, “Enterprise-Wide Omni-Channel: A Broader Approach with Better
Results,” Cook will explain why today’s top retailers are expanding their approach to omni-channel,
and how an integrated technology platform across the enterprise can drive for greater insights and
operational excellence resulting in higher levels of performance and growth.
