Reach Storefront
Reach Storefront is a strategic module designed for centralized, efficient, and scalable administration of multiple digital stores within the Reach platform. Its purpose is to enable comprehensive management of catalogs, collections, and products, as well as their synchronization with master catalogs to enable assisted sales functions within the Inbox.
The tool organizes the catalog structure through stores, collections, and products; facilitates variant creation, allows real-time previews, and ensures that the information displayed to customers is consistent and high-quality. This module is aimed at businesses that require maintaining one or multiple organized catalogs, managing inventories, and offering optimized conversational commerce experiences.
