As retail establishments undergo a digital transition, using a hybrid strategy that combines in-store and cloud software is becoming more and more crucial. With cloud backups, hosting crucial application components inside the storage opens a host of advantages, such as decreased downtime and lightning-fast data processing.

Leading vendor of retail software is Extenda Retail. They have built a presence in more than 36 countries around the world thanks to their more than 40 years of experience in developing and implementing cutting-edge point-of-sale, warehouse management, and customer loyalty solutions.

Extenda Retail has chosen Avassa’s application orchestration platform for the edge as a component of their worldwide hybrid deployment solution for retailers, we are happy to announce today.

“We can easily deploy and run our applications at the edge utilising the Avassa platform, using the same tools we already have in place for centralised cloud delivery. Our engineers are delighted by this since it makes the edge a straightforward extension of the tooling and patterns they have come to know in the cloud.” Extenda Retail’s CTO, Shayne Clausson.

The reliability of applications is greatly increased when key parts are installed inside the retail site. A shop would be devastated to think that their entire system would become unavailable if central cloud services were to become unavailable for any reason. Extenda Retail can guarantee application independence and continuous operations with Avassa, even if the connection is lost or degraded. Customers of Extenda Retail can do this to save money, guarantee that their systems are always accessible, and ensure that mission-critical processes can continue uninterrupted.

“With a hybrid distribution plan for their market-leading point-of-sale, Extenda Retail is truly in the lead. In terms of finances, brand reputation, or consumer delight, merchants today simply cannot afford downtime of in-store software. We’re pleased that they can continue to grow their hybrid offering thanks to the Avassa Edge Platform “said Olle Hillström, co-founder and director of sales at Avassa.

Users may deploy, monitor, and observe applications across tens, hundreds, or thousands of locations thanks to Avassa’s application orchestration platform for edge environments. Although retail is a proven essential sector for leveraging edge use cases, Avassa’s solution is horizontal, and retail software is frequently at the centre of business-critical in-store and warehouse processes.
