Cegid is recognized as a technology leader & ace performer in the 2025 SPARK Matrix for Unified Retail Commerce Platform (URCP) owing to its strong expertise in enabling real-time, cross-channel retail operations.

Designed to address the operational challenges of global retailers, Cegid enables consistent customer experience, Agile fulfillment, and streamlined store operations across multiple geographies. Its composable capabilities, native mobility, and scalable cloud infrastructure make it a preferred choice for retail enterprises seeking to modernize legacy systems and drive omnichannel execution with operational clarity.
QKS Group defines Unified Retail Commerce Platform (URCP) as an “integrated, real-time solution that consolidates all retail operations, including point-of-sale (POS), e-commerce, mobile commerce, order management, supply chain logistics, customer relationship management (CRM), and financial reconciliation into a single, real-time operational framework.” The platform includes real-time inventory management, dynamic order orchestration, unified customer profiles, and API-first adaptability, enabling scalability and cross-channel optimization. Additionally, URCP enhances operational efficiency, reduces IT complexity, and improves the customer experience through advanced personalization capabilities.
“Cegid’s unified retail commerce platform addresses a critical gap in the retail technology stack by centralizing store operations, inventory visibility, and customer engagement into a single, scalable system,” says Prakhar Bansal, Analyst at QKS Group. “Its modular architecture, real-time data synchronization, and strong POS-clienteling integration make it particularly effective for retailers operating across multi-format and multi-country environments. Cegid stands out for its focus on operational execution-bridging front-end experience with back-end efficiency to support consistent omnichannel delivery.”
“We are incredibly proud to be recognized as a ‘Leader’ in this global study by QKS Group. This distinction highlights not only the strength of our technology platform, but also our ability to support retailers in their international expansion—while ensuring local compliance and operational excellence. Most importantly, it’s the trust and collaboration of our clients that drive us forward. They inspire us to keep innovating and delivering intelligent, unified solutions that elevate their retail experience worldwide.” said Nathalie Echinard, General Manager of Retail Business Division at Cegid.
The Unified Retail Commerce Platform market is experiencing accelerated growth as retailers seek to eliminate channel silos and build cohesive, data-driven customer journeys. Advancements in API-first architecture, real-time data synchronization, and composable commerce are driving platform consolidation across POS, inventory management, clienteling, order orchestration, and customer engagement. The adoption of unified commerce strategies is further fueled by the need to support cross-channel fulfillment models, localized pricing, and consistent customer experiences across regions and store formats. As retailers prioritize operational agility, data unification, and store digitization, unified retail commerce platforms are emerging as foundational infrastructure for scalable, customer-centric retail transformation.
