System Selection Studies

underscore
Guiding informed decisions that drive seamless transitions.

Selecting the right technology is one of the most important and most complex decisions companies make.

Our 16-week consultative program helps you identify the right system to meet your needs, whether that’s a point-of-sale platform, order management solution, or an end-to-end retail technology stack.

We go beyond surface-level comparisons to unlock efficiencies, uncover areas to reduce cost, and identify the hardware and software solutions that fit how your business actually operates. Our process is more than your typical compare and contrast. It maps out a seamless plan for implementation. With Kitestring, you gain the insight and confidence to make decisions that last.

How We Guide Your Selection

Discovery and Needs Assessment: Analyze your current systems, workflows, and pain points to define the right mix of functionality, scalability, and usability.

Market Research and Vendor Evaluation: Compare SaaS, commercial, and custom solutions across capabilities, integration fit, and total cost of ownership.

Build, Buy, or Customize Recommendations: Determine whether your best path forward is adopting an existing system, building a new one, or combining both.

Technology Fit Analysis: Score and prioritize systems against your operational goals, from store floor to supply chain.

Proof of Concept and Pilot Support: Validate assumptions and minimize risk before full rollout.

Implementation Roadmapping: Map a clear, actionable plan for deployment with realistic timelines and measurable milestones.

Our Approach

We believe system selection should start with how your business really runs, not with a feature checklist. That’s why we combine over 25 years of industry expertise with structured research and market insight to guide every decision.

Our consultation offers more than a technology recommendation. It’s a complete roadmap that helps you decide whether to build, buy, or customize, and it gives you the clarity to implement with confidence. We’ve helped national retailers and small businesses alike understand their goals, identify the right systems, and modernize their operations with minimal risk and maximum value.

We find the system that fits your business, not the other way around.

The work you and your team do is invaluable to our industry. The need is great for fact-based solution selection that meets the needs of unique brands. Plotting the course for POS transformation is critical to all retail businesses. Well done!
