To set the stage for the next phase, the Company announced today that it appointed retail industry veteran, Jamie Karson, as Chief Operating Officer.

During Mr. Karson’s long term tenure as CEO, the company’s market cap reached $1 billion and consistently delivered year over year sales and profit growth.
Shoptiques also added a new product to its roster – a comprehensive Point of Sales Solution “SPOS” featuring boutique-centric inventory management, employee management, clientele and customer management, and reporting. With the new product, Shoptiques becomes a true one-stop shop solution for boutiques with an integrated omnichannel offering. Shoptiques offers boutiques access to its 1mm+ shoppers on Shoptiques.com, email marketing services, website-hosting services and now a Point of Sale solution.

Shoptiques.com, Founder and CEO, Olga Vidisheva commented, “We’re very excited about the next chapter in the Shoptiques growth story. To be successful, you need to have an amazing team and best-in-class product. Jamie Karson joining us as COO helps us scale the business much faster and with the addition of SPOS, we are proud to be offering small boutiques best-in-class tools to be successful and compete with large giants like Amazon and Macy’s.”

Jamie Karson , Shoptiques newly-appointed COO, added, “Shoptiques currently features over 6,500 boutiques on Shoptiques.com marketplace. Over and over again, boutiques were asking the team to help beyond online - with their in-store operations. So over the past two years, Shoptiques developed a proprietary Point of Sale solution that helps small boutiques run their business in-store and online. The system is very comprehensive and includes retail-specific inventory management, employee management, customer management and clientele solution, and comprehensive boutique specific reporting and data analytics. With this new product, Shoptiques is well-positioned to give Shopify run for its money.”
