NuORDER by Lightspeed and David Jones Deepen Partnership to Propel the Retailer’s Value Chain Transformation Forward
With an enhanced data-driven buying approach, David Jones seeks to improve inventory turnover and deliver a seamless omnichannel experience
MONTREAL–(BUSINESS WIRE)–NuORDER by Lightspeed, a leading global commerce platform that enables retailers and brands to connect, collaborate, and make smarter buying decisions, announces an expanded partnership with David Jones, Australia’s leading premium department store. Recognizing the need for a solution to reduce overstocks and better serve ever-changing consumer preferences, David Jones is now expanding NuORDER by Lightspeed into its buying processes across menswear, womenswear, childrenswear, home and accessories. After initially launching with women’s international and designer ready-to-wear, David Jones is deepening its use of the NuORDER by Lightspeed platform to continue to deliver an unparalleled omnichannel shopping experience for its customers.
NuORDER by Lightspeed is a key enabler in David Jones’ value chain transformation, a key initiative within the retailer’s Vision 2025+ strategy. Through strategic investment in transformation programs, David Jones is focused on innovation – modernizing platforms, offerings and experiences to meet the evolving needs of its customers. NuORDER by Lightspeed enables David Jones buyers to collaborate with brand partners through a digital interface to curate assortments and write orders more effectively, helping to drive higher turnover.
“NuORDER has proven to be a critical component for our buying and merchandising processes. By investing in a technology that enables our buyers to be more agile, accurately identify trends, and collaborate closely with both local and international brands, we can better curate localized assortments by store, minimize overstocks, and improve relationships with our brand partners,” said Bridget Veals, Executive General Manager of Womenswear, Footwear and Accessories. “We first used the platform in our womenswear category, and the results have been incredibly promising. We’ve unlocked the next evolution of retail, and we look forward to seeing NuORDER’s impact scale more broadly across the business.”
NuORDER by Lightspeed enables David Jones buyers to break out of spreadsheets and create visual roll-ups of assortments by brand or across a department, eliminating potential overbuys or underinvestment in current trends and helping to ensure financial targets are met. Enriched product data flows directly from brands, reducing order-writing time and enabling localized curation of product, color, sizing, and more with a few clicks. With NuORDER by Lightspeed, David Jones spent ~55% less time writing orders alone.
“NuORDER is proud to partner with visionary retailers like David Jones. Our mission is to simplify and elevate the buying journey across continents—equipping teams with real-time tools, insights, and digital showrooms that reflect the future of fashion commerce,” said Chris Akrimi, Head of B2B – GTM of NuORDER by Lightspeed.
