WHY STILL BELIEVE IN CUSTOMER LOYALTY?

When it comes to consuming, picky and fickle shoppers are now a reality. They shop in multiple stores via
multiple consumption channels and use a variety of touch points. However, retailers - big or small - are still
faced with the same challenge: how to turn casual shoppers into loyal customers… and how to keep them!


In an effort to answer this long debated question, MAXXING - a French-based software company initially
specialized in document management and printing solutions for over 20 years - has designed a new technological
solution now implemented at leading supermarket and specialty retailers in France and other worldwide
locations.


It all really started in 2006 when MAXXING first set foot in the Retail industry by answering the couponing issues
the Carrefour Group was facing. Soon after winning the POC, the solution was rolled out to all Champion stores in
France (now Carrefour Market).


Innovative and responsive as it was, MAXXING quickly developed other software modules and soon designed a
comprehensive end-to-end loyalty and customer relationship management solution which Carrefour has so far
deployed to all hypermarkets in France, China, and Taiwan.


One of the main strengths of the MAXXING offer is its ability to connect and interact in real time with the point of
sale (cash registers, kiosks, iPOS), the Web (merchant sites, social networks) and mobile applications; and to
empower marketers by providing them with new tools and innovative ways to manage the customer relationship,
and acquire deeper insights into buying habits and behaviors. In consequence, the retailer can better react to
customer expectations by pushing personalized messages to their favourite touch point (e-mail, SMS, coupon,
etc.) … at the moment when the customer is most receptive!


MAXXING's objective was then to adapt this model to retailers of all sizes and sectors (food, perfume, clothing,
hospitality providers, cultural, etc.). This resulted in 2010 in new references such as Father & Sons (men's apparel
- 25 stores in France and Belgium), Milonga (music instruments - e-commerce website and 20 stores), La
Compagnie des Petits (kids apparel - 125 stores in France and 80 abroad), with more scheduled for later
deployment.


In spite of difficult economic conditions, MAXXING managed to innovate and meet the expectations of the market
with a team of 75 dynamic and talented employees headquartered in Marcq-en-Barœul, northern France.
Established over 20 years ago, the company is still growing and is now looking for more talents!
