Lowe’s Canada, one of Canada’s leading home improvement retailers operating or servicing over 450 corporate and affiliated stores under different banners, proudly accepted the Omni-Channel Award (tied) last night at the Retail Council of Canada’s virtual gala. Held during the STORE conference, this event celebrates the best talents and the most innovative retailers in the industry.

The Omni-Channel Award recognizes how Lowe’s Canada’s improved its experience across all channels, including brick and mortar stores, call centers, and digital platforms, as customers were prompted to modify their shopping habits overnight in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

“While we are always striving to find new ways to serve our customers better, whether by focussing on our associates and their training, looking for the best brands to meet our customers’ needs, or implementing new technologies, the context brought on by the pandemic prompted us to accelerate our IT transformation and fast-track initiatives to improve our omni-channel experience,” said Rajat Khanna, Vice-President, IT at Lowe’s Canada. “Our teams spared no effort and collaborated closely to roll out over 230 features in record time. Our goal was simple: to be there when our customers and communities needed our products and services the most, while offering them an enhanced experience no matter their preferred shopping channels.”

Finalists and award winners were selected after an extensive consideration by a jury of retail industry experts.
