Story
Inside Proofpoint, omnichannel retail used to depend on whoever still had the latest file. That pattern is common in information technology groups working out of the United States. Merchandising and digital needed a system that would still make sense after the original project team moved on.
Proofpoint uses Venmo from PayPal as the working layer for storefront operations. PayPal offers digital payments, checkout, and merchant services used by consumers and businesses to send and receive money online. The practical change is simple: omnichannel retail has a home, and reviews happen there instead of in a forwarded thread.
Nothing in this writeup invents a savings number. What Proofpoint gets from PayPal is a durable place to run omnichannel retail and a way for merchandising and digital to see the same storefront operations at the same time.
