Kidkanaï
Sector
Activity
Launched by Kiabi in November 2022, Kidkanaï is a retail concept that combines the sale of pre-owned items (clothes, toys, books, child development products, etc.), for infants and children from 0 to 12 years of age, and a meeting hub that encourages chats over coffee between parents, relaxed family time or participation in activities. The ambition behind Kidkanaï is to promote responsible consumption, to extend the life of products and to circulate people’s experiences and stories.
Kidkanaï, a retail concept developed by Kiabi over several months, offers a system for the collection and resale of clients’ items. The service utilizes a mobile phone app to register the items clients wish to sell, and evaluate the price of each. The items are then dropped off at the store, and depending on which ones are sold, the seller receives a voucher or a credit via their bank card.
Kidkanaï has opted to use the Orisha - Openbravo software solution to manage all the purchase and resale operations, because Openbravo offers a Cloud-based and modern experience, and can be customized to meet specific requirements. The retail brand placed its trust in Hardis Group to develop a turnkey information system, utilizing Orisha - Openbravo technology, in less than 6 months.
“The Hardis teams have in-depth expertise on the software published by Orisha - Openbravo. They have provided all the support we need to deploy a complete information system in the space of a few months, and they are helping us still, evolving the system to reflect changes in the business model.”
— Ismael El Hamouchi, KidKanaï project leader
