About New Black
Industry: IT Services and IT Consulting
Company size: 51-200 employees
Retail has always been about people. The real magic happens on the sales floor, in the conversations, the advice, the smiles that build loyalty long before any system even notices. Yet most retailers are being held back. Not by competitors, but by their technology. Over time, many have ended up with a patchwork of disconnected systems, what we call the Frankenstack®. It’s messy, difficult to maintain, and makes it nearly impossible to deliver a consistent experience to customers. Growth is hard when your roots are tangled. That’s where EVA comes in. EVA is the Contextual Commerce Foundation: one platform that brings everything together. Inventory, orders, promotions, loyalty, and clienteling tools for store associates all live in a single place, giving retailers and brands the ability to be adaptive to change. With EVA, associates don’t just ring up sales. They truly know their customers, with profiles, notes, and insights right at their fingertips. Headquarters doesn’t just send out strategies and hope for the best. Task management ensures those strategies actually reach every store. And customers aren’t left waiting or disappointed. EVA’s order management, appointments, and case handling keep promises dependable. It’s built for the global stage, with compliance and fiscalization built in from the start. And because it’s open, API-first, and adaptive, brands can shape it around their unique experiences instead of being forced to fit into rigid software. That’s why EVA is trusted by global brands like Rituals, KIKO Milano, Dyson, G-Star, Intersport, Red Wing Shoes, and many more. They see EVA not just as software, but as the foundation for a new kind of retail: simpler, more human, and ready for whatever comes next. So when we say EVA is the soil, that’s what we mean: the unseen foundation that lets associates rise as ambassadors, headquarters lead with clarity, and customers feel part of a community rather than just another transaction.
