The retailer is working to replace its point-of-sale transaction engine. This will not affect the catalog interface that team members and customers see but rather enhances the system architecture that is the backbone of how transactions are processed. O'Reilly will also implement a retail solution and replace its legacy homegrown system, allowing the retailer to have increased flexibility to implement more advanced and targeted promotions and enhance the customer experience with tighter integration between in-store systems and e-commerce efforts.
The new system will also provide the tools the retailer needs to address changing business needs and allow it to focus on continued enhancements in areas including its electronic parts catalog, which are O'Reilly's core competencies. The system will be tested in pilot stores in the back half of this year with rollout chain-wide in the first half of 2014.
