The Division:
Retail & Sports Systems (R&SS) was founded in 2009 by industry experts with over 50 years multi-channel retail experience at leading brands including Fortnum & Mason, Harrods, Chelsea, Man United, Nike, and many more. We went live in 2010 with our first customer, Sheffield United, and have been expanding every year since.
R&SS offers true omnichannel from a single supplier you can trust — allowing businesses to get closer to their customers and drive outstanding sales growth. The results speak for themselves: one Premiership club has doubled their online orders since we installed a new retail system. We continue to add new customers whilst existing customers continue to renew their contracts with us.
