Founded in 1949 by Adolf Dassler, this German multinational corporation has become the largest sportswear manufacturer in Europe and the second largest in the entire world. It is also the holding company for the adidas Group, which holds around an 8% stake in the football club Bayern Munchen and Runtastic, an Australian fitness technology company. As the business expanded even further, they realized the incapabilities of their current Retail Management Software and browsed through other options. Eventually, they decided to employ LS Retail, a unified Retail Software Solution. There was a sense of familiarity between both i.e., LS Retail and Adidas. Both have been reinventing the shopping experience for multiple decades.
Both companies share a matching perspective of the future of retail, one where technological change will massively impact customer services. Today, adidas implements LS Retail solutions in about 1400 stores and 4800 POS (point of sale) across the world.
