“By committing to the technology we need to support our retail evolution and total customer experience, we are preparing Giant Tiger for growth in this exciting digital retail landscape.”

The partnership has allowed Mercatus to enter the general merchandise and apparel retail category, with Giant Tiger as its first Canadian customer.

Mercatus has also made Giant Tiger’s mobile app available for English and French language shoppers.

“We’re excited to launch Giant Tiger’s mobile app to help connect its customers to the store they love in both English and French. As Mercatus transcends verticals and borders, we continue our commitment to provide retailers with personalised, best-in-breed digital solutions.”
