New York, NY – September 10, 2020Salesfloor, the industry-leading mobile application designed for store associates, today announced unprecedented growth, driven by 250% year-over-year increase in new clients. The increase in online shopping caused by the global COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated retailers’ digital transformation efforts and their focus on solutions that help bridge the gap between online shoppers and in-store associates. Salesfloor is seeing a surge in companies looking to implement their clienteling solution to empower store associates to serve and sell to their customers online.

In the past few months, the number of Salesfloor users around the world has nearly doubled, with 45,000 store associates now leveraging the platform to serve customers across all channels. Associates using Salesfloor have surpassed $1.5 billion in sales.

Retailers have also seen their online sales through Salesfloor skyrocket by up to 4x compared to pre-pandemic data.

Platform data from Q2 and Q3 shows a sustained increase of up to 700% more online interactions between shoppers and store associates, including through live chat, e-mail, text messaging and appointment requests.

“When stores closed, many of our clients equipped their remote employees with Salesfloor to enable them to continue serving online customers. Now that stores have reopened, there is still a pressing need to bridge the online-offline gap.” said Ben Rodier, Chief Client Officer at Salesfloor. “The average associate now serves 94 online customers per week, and we’re seeing a sales conversion rates between 12% and 15%.”
