Maximizing profits with real-time data

Originating in 1893 and now present worldwide, Petit Bateau’s collection of apparel for babies, kids and mothers has maintained the brand’s core values of sustainability, quality, and freedom for more than 120 years.

Automating time-consuming processes

Kidswear is a booming industry and is only expected to grow further in coming years.

Thanks to Retviews, Petit Bateau’s merchandising, product development and digital teams are now doing this in a fraction of the time. Saving significant amounts of time throughout the entire collection lifecycle, the brand’s teams can now focus on analyzing data, making confident decisions, and releasing the best collection on the market. Retviews allows Petit Bateau to optimize its workflow. With customized dashboards based on Petit Bateau’s own needs for each product segment, the brand can quickly access real-time data and monitor its competitors, allowing it to optimize its assortment and pricing strategies.
