A New
Property Type
retailOS is the operating system for a new asset class—the four-time patented Shopping Fulfillment Center—that transforms underutilized shopping centers into dynamic, multi-use assets by fusing traditional retail with integrated last-mile fulfillment and logistics. Leveraging AI-driven analytics, it enables smaller, efficient stores to optimize inventory use for both in-store and online orders, boosting tenant profitability and enhancing property values. For consumers, this innovative model delivers a seamless shopping experience with reduced fulfillment costs, next-day shipping, and convenient local pick-up options.
Benefits of retailOS
retailOS has benefits to traditional retailers, e-commerce sellers, fulfillment operators, real estate owners, and of course consumers.
INCREASED RETAILER PROFITABILITY: Stores sizes can be reduced, while on-hand assortment is increased. This allows for lower occupancy costs, while increasing sales.
GREATER PROPERTY VALUE: Smaller stores and higher sales allows for landlords to house a more diverse tenant mix and charge higher rents per square foot, resulting in higher NOI and greater property values.
EASY EXPANSION INTO RETAIL: E-commerce brands can position stock across the country close to their consumer. They can pop-up stores within retailOS at no up front cost because they can use the same inventory for in-store and online, have a robust national fulfillment infrastructure and handle customers and returns on a local level.
REDUCED FULFILLMENT COSTS: Shipment of individual products originates from retailOS locations, allowing for next day shipping at the lowest cost, and allows for pickup. Additionally, retailOS reduces empty legs for trucking, reducing fulfillment costs.
