Experienced software house ART Software Group builds industry leading platforms
through a combination of cutting edge technology and innovation rooted in retail. Here,
RLI speaks with Director Gareth Jordan about their platform Retail Advantage and how
smart tools are supporting destinations to enrich value for customers, brand partners and
investors during the pandemic and beyond.
Over the turbulent past 18 months, ART Software Group doubled down on its mission to empower people with practical connections
through technology, arming professionals with high-quality data to drive beneficial strategies unique to each retail and leisure destination.
During this time, Jordan feels that people-centric places have never felt so crucial, and the company has been supporting placemakers to
create, connect, reinvigorate and manage retail and leisure destinations through intelligent tools.
Their key PropTech solution, Retail Advantage, provides powerful reporting methods and insights to help people manage, better
understand and improve performance for sites, streets or stores.
“The lines between shops, workspaces, wellness, eating out and entertainment are blurring more than ever before which generates even
more questions that need to be explored and answered. This is achieved efficiently and quickly through analytics,” explains Gareth Jordan,
Director at ART Software Group.
“We have been part of this journey for some fantastic new locations this year such as St James Quarter in Edinburgh, who are doing
things right by being forward thinking and incredibly proactive when it comes to data and decision making and we are delighted to be
working with them on such an iconic scheme,” says Jordan.
