“Before YOOBIC, store visits were honestly just checklists. Now they’re focused on behaviors, coaching and building the wardrobe — and that’s what helped move our UPT.”

Michael A. Saldaña, Senior Retail Operations Manager at UNTUCKit

The UNTUCKit Story

UNTUCKit’s ambition was clear: evolve from a shirt brand into a full-on outfitter by driving wardrobe-based selling and increasing Units Per Transaction. But execution was inconsistent across stores. Store visits had become 4-to-6-hour administrative exercises, daily sales context was buried in emails and texts, and training was treated as a one-off event rather than a continuous skill-building process. With no single platform connecting coaching, operations, and learning, performance varied widely — and the brand’s high-touch selling model wasn’t scaling.

Selecting YOOBIC

In 2021, UNTUCKit deployed YOOBIC to 626 users across 105 stores, connecting execution, coaching, training, and performance into a single workflow.

The impact was immediate: a platform intuitive enough for daily use on the floor, giving market managers real visibility into store behaviors and enabling a culture of continuous development rather than periodic check-ins.

“We rely on YOOBIC daily to stay aligned with our goals, efficiently complete tasks, and expedite learning processes, ultimately enabling us to deliver the highest level of service to our customers.”

Amila Pezer, Director of Learning & Development at UNTUCKit

1) The “Fail-Possible” Clienteling Certification

UNTUCKit replaced generic training with a rigorous, role-based clienteling certification. Leaders must demonstrate real customer outreach in live scenarios — some fail on the first attempt. Passing is now a requirement for promotion to store manager, paired with a 90-day Succession Plan to build the pipeline.

2) Transforming Store Visits

Store visits were redesigned from 4-to-6-hour operational audits into focused 1-hour coaching sessions. The shift moved attention away from fixtures and admin, and entirely onto talent, sales behaviors, and clienteling.

3) Actionable Daily KPI Tracking

Static reporting was replaced with interactive end-of-day “chat in” missions. Store teams track UPT, ATV, and conversion daily — adding qualitative context to explain the story behind the numbers.

4) A Culture of Recognition

UNTUCKit launched “Celebrate It” — a dedicated YOOBIC community for sharing sales wins, standout customer moments, and visual merchandising successes, making high performance visible across the entire organization.

The YOOBIC Effect

YOOBIC gave UNTUCKit the infrastructure to scale a high-touch selling culture across every store. Certified leaders drive more clienteling, market managers spend more time coaching on the floor, and daily KPI tracking keeps every team aligned on what moves the business forward.

With training, operations, and performance connected in one place, UNTUCKit has built a repeatable model for retail excellence — one that’s showing up directly in revenue.

“By using YOOBIC, we have our store associates in Shanghai giving tips and engaging with our store associates in Paris. We truly believe this creates a sense of belonging and being part of a greater community.”

Maria Klingh, Global Retail Director at GANT

GANT were on the hunt for a new way to empower their store teams to be the best possible ambassadors of their brand. As they rapidly expanded, GANT were looking for a way to foster a strong company culture and ensure a consistently exceptional customer experience in every GANT store globally.

With YOOBIC, GANT’s store employees feel empowered with knowledge at their fingertips and are demonstrably more engaged as part of a global digital community. Corporate and HQ teams have a clear line of sight across their entire store network, allowing them to improve sales conversion and consistently achieve retail excellence.

Challenges

When it came to the experience of their store employees, GANT were experiencing 3 main challenges:

Lack of centralized visibility into store operations: Variation in store processes across regions and restricted visibility over the global store network made it difficult to ensure a consistent customer experience worldwide.

Disconnected store teams: To build a sense of community, store teams needed a way to share knowledge across locations, access company content and interact with each other in an engaging way.

Low adoption of training courses: GANT needed training that was empowering, accessible and aligned with their motto: “Never Stop Learning”. But the tool they used was failing to engage employees with learning content.

“YOOBIC is very user-friendly and really reminds store teams of social media, which they’re very accustomed to navigating. So questions around where to find information, how to navigate around the tool and all of those types of support questions have almost disappeared.”

Maria Klingh, Global Retail Director at GANT

The YOOBIC Solution

With YOOBIC, GANT centralized all information sharing between stores, regional teams and HQ, established a global digital community of employees and embedded learning into their store teams’ working day.

Our brand must offer a high-end customer experience, like our products. We must be agile, responsive and efficient to fully satisfy our customers. Thanks to YOOBIC, we can now improve our retail processes and also the satisfaction and experience of our customers.””

Livio Tabbi, Retail Director, Europe at The Kooples

Improving internal communication and visibility across the network were the major challenges, for which The Kooples wanted rapid, concrete and effective responses.

The Kooples simplifies communication between teams, increase store compliance by 33% and became more agile and efficient as a retailer.

Challenges

LWhile scaling their brick and mortar presence, The Kooples ran into major communication and visibility challenges within the store network:

  • Communication with stores was not optimized, with multiple tools and platforms being used
  • HQ teams lacked visibility into in-store compliance and execution
  • Field teams, like HQ teams, were losing time and productivity on numerous email about recurring issues including maintenance, defective products and visual merchandising

Communications around defective products were also a major issue. Without a follow-up process between store teams and quality teams, products were sometimes labeled as defective when could have been retouched, losing time and revenue.

After a thorough market analysis, The Kooples chose YOOBIC to help them achieve their goals. They’ve been using YOOBIC in their 330 stores since September 2018.

“We have to be agile, reactive and efficient to fully satisfy our customers. Thanks to YOOBIC, we’ve improved all our retail processes, and by extension, customer satisfaction and experience.”

Livio Tabbi, Retail Director, Europe at The Kooples

The YOOBIC Solution

With YOOBIC, The Kooples digitized all retail processes (execution monitoring, maintenance, defect management),  improved uniformity across the store network and simplified communications between headquarters and store teams.

YOOBIC allows the brand to optimize execution on visual merchandising. When a task needs to be completed, the in-store teams receive instructions explaining the entire procedure via the YOOBIC app. The store teams just have to follow the instructions and confirm the correct execution by sending photos directly to the merchandising department.

Store communications are simplified, since YOOBIC makes it possible to standardize all maintenance operations across the entire network by immediately generating a request to resolve the problem. The maintenance team validates the request and contacts service providers straight away.

Finally, YOOBIC has enabled The Kooples to improve the management of defective products. To identify a defective product, stores now send a request to the quality team via the app, who then determine whether the product should be sent to dry cleaning, retouching, or marked as defective. The implementation of this process saves time and money by making store teams aware of the costs of mislabelling products as defective, and makes it simpler to reintroduce retouched products into the store network.

“When there is a best practice, we want to be able to implement it very quickly so thanks to YOOBIC, we are able to implement those best practices in front of our eyes.”

Olivier Bamberger, Retail & VM Director at Lacoste

Lacoste was looking for a mobile platform that would streamline processes and allow HQ to have a clear line of sight into store compliance.

Partnering with YOOBIC has allowed Lacoste to ensure uniformity in store presentation and customer experience in every one of their boutiques across the world. 

For Lacoste, customer experience and brand image consistency are key. However, they had limited overview of store compliance worldwide.

Challenges

Lacoste’s store associates are empowered to represent the brand values of high standards and self-expression, but 3 main challenges were limiting how efficiently they could work:

  • Using outdated platforms for task management like email and Whatsapp meant that instructions and expectations were not always clear.
  • It could take a long time to receive feedback on whether tasks had been correctly completed.
  • HQ had limited visibility into store compliance.

After exploring the market thoroughly, Lacoste chose YOOBIC to help them achieve their goal of seamless and consistent operations within every store.

“YOOBIC is an easy, straight forward process.”

Gladys Richard, Store Manager at Lacoste

The YOOBIC Solution

Lacoste worked with YOOBIC to create one mobile-first platform to unify task management across every store.

Stores are sent ‘Missions’ each day, indicating priorities and detailing tasks to be carried out. Instructions include pictures, videos and checklists to make directions crystal clear, make tasks more efficient and the knowledge that their work is meeting brand standards.

After completing a task, employees take a photo and submit it to HQ for approval. HQ teams are automatically notified and able to add comments and annotate the image to give store teams immediate feedback, creating a clear line of sight into store compliance.

Streamlining tasks and feedback means that HQ can ensure a consistent, high-quality customer experience across the entire global store network and be reactive to new information.
