Printemps Accelerates Its U.S. Luxury Retail Expansion with Jesta I.S. Technology
As Printemps New York moves confidently into its second year of operations, the iconic French luxury retailer is reinforcing its U.S. growth strategy with the continued support of Jesta I.S.’s proven retail technology. Powered by Jesta’s Vision Suite—including Merchandising ERP, Mobile Store Inventory Management, and advanced Analytics—the landmark New York flagship is achieving operational efficiency, enhanced visibility, and data-driven decision-making that supports its bold vision for luxury retail in the American market.
The Printemps New York store officially went live on Jesta I.S.’s Vision Retail Management Suite in March 2025, marking a significant milestone in the retailer’s international expansion journey. Since launch, the platform has become central to core merchandising, inventory, and analytical processes, enabling the business to operate with agility while maintaining the high standards expected of a global luxury brand.
A Strategic Technology Selection for the U.S. Market
Printemps selected Jesta I.S. in 2024 following a rigorous evaluation of more than 30 retail technology providers. The decision was supported by Sophelle, a global retail management consultancy and longtime Jesta partner, which advised Printemps throughout the vendor selection and implementation process. The outcome was a technology partnership designed to meet the complex needs of a high-end, experience-led retail environment while offering the scalability required for future growth in the U.S.
By implementing Jesta’s Vision Suite, Printemps New York established a unified retail technology foundation capable of supporting everything from inventory accuracy and merchandising strategy to performance analysis and profitability tracking. The platform now serves as the operational backbone of the U.S. business, helping teams maintain control across a highly curated and inventory-intensive retail model.
A Legacy Brand Redefining Modern Luxury Retail
Founded in Paris in 1865, Printemps has played a defining role in the evolution of modern retail for more than 160 years. Renowned for its creativity and innovation, the brand pioneered the concept of retail as a destination—transforming shopping into an immersive cultural and social experience.
Today, Printemps operates 19 department stores across France, one location in Doha, Qatar, and its first U.S. store in New York City. Located at One Wall Street, the flagship occupies two levels of the historic 50-story Art Deco landmark and officially opened on March 21, 2025—the first day of spring—symbolizing renewal and reinvention.
Printemps New York represents a new interpretation of luxury retail, blending fashion, beauty, gastronomy, hospitality, and curated cultural experiences under one roof. The store’s concept reflects a deliberate departure from traditional department store formats, emphasizing discovery, storytelling, and experiential engagement.
Technology Enabling an Immersive Retail Experience
“Printemps New York represents a bold reinvention of luxury retail in the U.S., and we’re proud to support that vision,” said Arvind Gupta, President of Jesta I.S. “Since going live, the Printemps team has been actively leveraging Jesta’s Vision Suite to unify data, improve inventory visibility, and enable more agile merchandising decisions. This is an incredibly distinctive retail concept, and it’s rewarding to see our platform delivering value so early in the journey.”
A key differentiator of the Printemps New York model is its merchandise ownership strategy. Unlike traditional concession-based department stores, Printemps owns nearly all of the inventory across its selling floors. Approximately 25 percent of the brands carried in the store are exclusive to the U.S. market, adding further complexity to inventory management while strengthening the store’s unique positioning.
Jesta’s Merchandising ERP serves as the central system of record within the Vision Retail Management Suite, managing master data for products, inventory, orders, and suppliers. With real-time data synchronization and a single source of truth, teams across merchandising, planning, and operations work with consistent, accurate information.
End-to-End Inventory and Analytics Capabilities
Beyond core merchandising, the Vision Suite provides advanced capabilities across demand planning, allocation, replenishment, price management, financials, and sales audit. These tools allow Printemps New York to manage inventory at the SKU level with precision, optimize stock flow, and analyze profitability across brands, categories, and experiences.
Jesta’s Mobile Store Inventory Management solution further enhances operational efficiency by streamlining inbound and outbound merchandise flows, stockroom and sales-floor inventory movements, vendor returns, and drop shipping processes. Store teams benefit from real-time visibility and mobility, enabling faster execution and improved customer service on the sales floor.
Complementing these operational tools, Jesta’s Analytics solution delivers actionable insights that support informed decision-making. Printemps teams can quickly assess sales performance, inventory health, and demand trends—allowing them to respond proactively in a fast-moving luxury retail environment.
Delivering on a Distinctive Brand Promise
“Printemps New York is where French curation meets American hospitality,” said Thierry Prevost, CEO of Printemps New York. “Since going live, Jesta’s retail technology has become a critical enabler of our operations—bringing structure, visibility, and efficiency to a highly curated and complex retail environment. The system is already helping our teams work smarter and consistently deliver the elevated experience our customers expect.”
As Printemps continues to refine its U.S. strategy, Jesta I.S.’s technology provides a scalable, future-ready platform capable of supporting both innovation and growth.
