"The customer is seeking an experience and convenience rich shopping which is only
achievable by understanding her behavior better. Keeping with the global trend, we decided
to adopt cloud and mobile technology

provide our customers a seamless experience across our stores through real-time,
personalized communication

program which is truly world class. 'rt rewards' had already signed up a great number of
members in its pre-launch stage and the REDTAG team is confident of creating a large loyal
customer base across Middle East very soon. It took Capillary just 2 months to go from
conceptualization to launch, with minimal involvement of our tech team. They managed the
entire process with superb efficiency and limited support from our technology team. Indeed
an impressive performance."
