CQL, the Unified Commerce Agency and a Shopify Platinum Partner, today announced the launch of POS360°, an integration that enables continuously updated customer profiles in Bloomreach by synchronizing in-store interactions from Shopify POS. This solution bridges physical and digital channels, delivering more consistent, informed, and personalized customer experiences across touchpoints.

Quick Intel

  • POS360° integrates Shopify POS with Bloomreach to maintain real-time, unified customer profiles that capture both in-store visits/purchases and digital behaviors like abandoned carts, attributes, and subscription status.
  • In-store activity syncs to Bloomreach’s Loomi AI for enhanced digital personalization, while key online insights become accessible in Shopify POS to empower store associates with up-to-date context during customer interactions.
  • The event-based architecture supports two-way data flow without disrupting POS operations or requiring core system replacements.
  • Retail use cases include pre-checkout clienteling for high-consideration items, store visit tracking for targeted digital follow-up, coordinated cross-channel promotions, and in-store opt-in collection.
  • POS360° helps retailers activate first-party data more effectively, creating seamless journeys that transcend online and in-store environments.
  • The launch expands CQL’s unified commerce capabilities, focusing on practical integrations that connect customer data, technology, and real-world retail operations.

Bridging In-Store and Digital for Unified Customer Experiences

Traditional POS integrations often limit synchronization to transaction data alone. POS360° goes further by capturing a wider spectrum of in-store signals—such as visits and interactions—and feeding them into Bloomreach to enrich digital personalization strategies. Simultaneously, digital signals flow back to Shopify POS, enabling associates to reference current context like recent online activity or preferences, fostering more relevant and confident in-store engagements.

“Retailers need practical ways to connect in-store experiences with their digital personalization strategies,” said Mike Riess, Vice President of Unified Commerce at CQL. “POS360° works with Shopify POS to help bridge that gap, giving brands a unified view of the customer and enabling more consistent engagement across physical and digital touchpoints.”

Supporting Key Retail Use Cases

POS360° addresses common retail challenges with targeted capabilities:

  • Pre-checkout clienteling: Associates access customer history and preferences for personalized high-consideration recommendations.
  • Store visit tracking: In-store presence triggers tailored digital follow-ups or offers.
  • Coordinated promotions: Align in-store and online campaigns for consistent messaging and incentives.
  • Opt-in collection: Capture customer consent seamlessly at the point of sale to support compliant data activation.

These features help retailers leverage first-party data more holistically while keeping store operations smooth and efficient.

“The customer experience should be personalized across every touchpoint - even as they move from online to in-store. By connecting in-store behavior with digital customer data, POS360° helps retailers better activate their first-party data to deliver exactly that,” said Rachel Fefer, Global VP Strategic ISVs and AMER Partnerships at Bloomreach. “This integration enables more relevant and consistent experiences, while keeping operational complexity low for store teams. We’re excited to give businesses a 360° view of every shopper so they can create tailored journeys that transcend channels.”

Event-Based Architecture for Seamless Two-Way Flow

Built on an event-driven framework developed by CQL, POS360° ensures reliable, real-time data exchange between Shopify POS and Bloomreach. In-store events update Bloomreach profiles instantly to inform Loomi AI-driven digital experiences, while relevant online data surfaces in the POS interface to support associates—without introducing complexity or requiring extensive reconfiguration of existing systems.

This launch reinforces CQL’s role as a leader in unified commerce, delivering thoughtful integrations that align technology with business goals and create truly connected customer journeys.
