See’s Candies Positioned for Successful Reopening during COVID-19 with BTM Global Collaboration

New buy online, pick up in store capabilities allows for reopening of select See’s Candies stores and provides See’s Candies customers and fans a way to purchase their favorite sweet treats seamlessly

MINNEAPOLIS – (July 30, 2020) – BTM Global, a premier provider of system integration and development services, announced that See’s Candies, the nearly-100-year-old candy company, now offers buy online and pick up in store for its wide array of fresh, American-made quality chocolates and candies.

After temporarily closing more than 200 stores amid the COVID-19 pandemic, See’s Candies selected BTM Global to collaborate and create a way to continue serving customers safely and efficiently. As See’s Candies’ technology partner and integrator for Oracle Retail solutions, BTM Global led the effort to integrate inventory, Oracle Retail Xstore Point-of-Service and See’s ecommerce system, as well as develop a service layer to ensure communication between each stage of an order, from start to finish. With the new contact-free, pick up service “Click→ Pick→Go!”, See’s stores went from a pause in business for the first time since World War II, to selling chocolate and treats again in less than three weeks.

“Our customers have been eager to purchase their classic favorites and return to their sweet traditions. We were thrilled to launch our Click→ Pick→Go! offering so quickly,” said Pat Egan, President and CEO, See’s Candies. “Our previous projects with BTM Global demonstrated their high quality of work and creativity, and our teams worked collaboratively to solve the problem of selling products while keeping our employees and customers protected.”

“See’s ability to pivot quickly and continue delighting customers speaks to its team culture and visionary leadership,” said Tom Schoen, CEO of BTM Global. “In just a few weeks, the results of our collaboration were tremendous and we’re thrilled to watch as See’s famous candies get back in the hands of its loyal customers.”
