TOTE is a cloud‑based retail platform that lets shoppers create a virtual fitting room by selecting items online, checking real‑time store inventory, and booking a specific time to try them on in‑store. The system reserves the items, delivers them to a designated fitting room, and sends automated email, SMS, and calendar confirmations, while also enabling personalized styling sessions. By linking online browsing with appointment‑based try‑on experiences, TOTE drives foot traffic, boosts in‑store conversion rates, and reduces return volumes for apparel, footwear, lingerie, jewelry, furniture, and beauty retailers.

Problem
Retailers struggle to convert online browsers into in‑store purchases because shoppers cannot easily reserve items, know real‑time inventory, or schedule personalized try‑on experiences, leading to missed sales and high return rates.
Solution
TOTE provides a cloud‑based platform that lets shoppers create a virtual fitting room by selecting products online, then book a specific time to try them on in a physical store. The system confirms availability, reserves the items, and sends email, SMS, and calendar invites to both shopper and retailer. Upon arrival, the reserved items are waiting in a designated fitting room, enabling a seamless, appointment‑based try‑on experience. Retail staff receive automated notifications and can offer personalized styling sessions based on shopper preferences. By integrating the online browsing journey with in‑store fulfillment, TOTE turns browsing into guaranteed foot traffic and higher conversion rates.
