The fashion retailer and its brand partners can upload product catalogues, take notes and capture purchase intent. Additionally, NuOrder will offer Nordstrom’s buyers a complete view of the merchandise they plan to buy for the upcoming season, which will allow them to identify gaps or opportunities across their available spend, helping the company curate a wide range of products for its customers.
“We’re excited to partner with NuOrder and leverage their capabilities such as a digital market tool,” said Teri Bariquit, EVP merchandise planning, inventory and solutions, Nordstrom. “Having a tool with shared visual information allows buyers and brands to work much more effectively together.”
