Casual Male
As a rule, men hate to shop for clothes; it can be even more painful for those hard-to-fit guys with exceptional height or girth. Casual Male embraces the members of this underserved market segment, not simply filling their orders, but aiming to provide them with the ultimate shopping experience. The company counts on the ATG Commerce Suite for a multi-channel solution: powering a host of Web stores and in-store kiosks, to assure ongoing customer satisfaction and loyalty.

Liverpool
Liverpool, the largest department store chain in Mexico, prides itself on meeting the needs of its customers at every life stage.
