As we mentioned previously, before migrating from Prestashop to Shopify, the jewelry store was facing problems related to the lack of fluidity in information between its stores and franchises, generating confusion and significant delays in the business. However, thanks to Shopify POS, those problems are a thing of the past.

Automatic synchronization completely eliminates the need to juggle spreadsheets and ensures that all information is always up to date across all points of sale. This tool quickly becomes an invaluable resource for maintaining effective control over daily operations and providing a seamless experience for both your in-store team and your customers.
