EMPOWERING TEAMS, ENHANCING JOURNEYS

Elevating Retail Through Seamless iOS Integration

KIKO MILANO, the Italian beauty powerhouse with over 900 stores and 7,000 employees, set out in 2023 to completely transform its retail operations and customer experience. Their vision? A unified, immersive shopping journey—powered by Apple devices and driven by digital-first thinking.

With over 9,000 iPads and iPhones deployed globally, KIKO knew that simply rolling out devices wasn’t enough. They needed a partner to help turn those devices into a true business system—one that could adapt across use cases, empower their teams, and elevate every moment of the customer journey.

 

So, they turned to IPORT.

Hold. Charge. Protect. Connect.

THE CHALLENGE

KIKO’s ambitions were bold:

  • Enable anywhere, anytime checkout and on-the-go operations.
  • Create a unified, omni-channel experience that blurs the lines between digital and physical retail.
  • Equip every team member with tools that drive confidence, productivity, and connection with customers.

To pull this off, they needed a platform that could handle it all—point-of-sale, product lookup, inventory management, pickup fulfillment, and more. Most importantly, it had to scale fast and work beautifully.

THE SOLUTION - IPAD

KIKO’s success came from a powerful three-part formula:

Apple devices + New Black POS software + IPORT enterprise hardware.

CONNECT MOUNT Pillar – Dual-Screen POS Elegance

At checkout counters, KIKO deployed IPORT CONNECT MOUNT Pillar to support dual-facing iPad configurations—one facing the employee and one facing the customer. This setup allowed employees to manage transactions via New Black’s interface, while customers interacted with order confirmations, loyalty details, and promotions in real time. Clean, professional, and built to last, CONNECT MOUNT Pillar delivers enterprise-grade power with design that blends effortlessly into KIKO’s sleek store environments.

THE SOLUTION - IPHONE

CONNECT PHONE + MultiDock – Mobile Magic in the Aisles

To enable mobile point-of-sale, employee empowerment, and storewide flexibility, KIKO outfitted team members with iPhones protected by IPORT’s CONNECT PHONE cases and charged via IPORT MultiDock stations. These rugged, enterprise-grade cases allowed employees to:

  • Check customers out anywhere on the floor.
  • Scan merchandise using the iPhone’s built-in camera and Scandit software.
  • Look up product information instantly.
  • Manage pickup orders with confidence and speed.

Whether helping a customer find the perfect shade or updating inventory counts in real time, the iPhone—powered by IPORT—became a trusted tool in every employee’s hand.
