Silicon Valley, CA - Octopus Bridge, a long-established leader in retail technology, today announced a major expansion of its platform, positioning itself not only as a POS–eCommerce integration provider but as a full-scale MarTech engine built for modern retailers. With 20 years of innovation, hundreds of active merchant deployments, and support for 30+ POS systems, Octopus Bridge is redefining how retailers operate, market, and grow across physical and digital channels.
A One-Window Platform for Retail Modernization
The newly expanded Octopus Platform allows retailers to build and manage complete omni-channel journeys through a single window. Retailers can now:
- Develop eCommerce websites on Shopify, WooCommerce, or Magento
- Integrate them seamlessly with 30+ supported POS systems
- Sync product, price, inventory, customer and orders in near real-time
- Support multi-location operations, BOPIS, and chain-level order routing
- Access advanced MarTech tools integrated directly with POS data
“This launch marks a defining moment in retail automation,” said a spokesperson on behalf of the CEO. “Retailers don’t just want integrations anymore - they want intelligence, automation, and marketing power built into every layer of their operations. Octopus delivers exactly that.”
A MarTech Platform That Drives Footfall and Revenue
Unlike traditional connectors, Octopus integrates deep retail data directly into marketing channels, helping retailers increase visibility and sales both online and in-store.
Google Local Inventory Ads (LIA) Integration
When shoppers search for items such as “running shoes near me”, Octopus ensures the store appears with live pricing, availability, ongoing promotion, location, and hours.
“Local search visibility can double footfall for certain categories,” shared the VP – Business Development & Partnerships. “With Octopus, retailers automatically appear at the moment of high purchase intent, without lifting a finger.”
Facebook & Instagram Ads Powered by POS Data
Retailers can launch dynamic ads that automatically reflect POS stock and pricing. Campaigns pause instantly for out-of-stock items, preventing wasted ad spend.
Retail Operations, Now Fully Automated
Octopus Bridge’s powerful automation engine eliminates repetitive tasks that previously required hours of manual effort.
POS-Integrated Electronic Shelf Labels (ESLs)
The platform now supports smart Electronic Shelf Labels synced directly with POS pricing.
“Retailers no longer need teams manually updating paper stickers every time prices change,” said a senior product leader. “With Octopus-enabled ESLs, thousands of shelves update in seconds - saving labor, reducing paper waste, and ensuring in-store and online pricing always match.”
Open-to-Buy (OTB) & Planning Reports
Automated daily and monthly planning reports help retailers take control of purchasing, stocking, and budgeting.
“Retailers want clarity,” added the CEO’s office. “They want to know what to buy, when to buy, and how much stock they truly need. Our planning tools make that possible.”
Multi-Location Support for Growing Retail Chains
Octopus Bridge is designed not only for SMBs but also for fast-scaling retail chains:
- Route online orders to the nearest store
- Support multi-store inventory accuracy
- Enable BOPIS (Buy Online, Pick Up In-Store)
- Manage chain-wide pricing, promotions, and stock from one dashboard
“Our focus is simple - remove friction from retail operations,” said a statement on behalf of the VP. “Whether it’s one store or fifty, the experience remains seamless.”
14-Day Free Trial for Cloud POS Retailers
Retailers using cloud-based POS systems such as Lightspeed, Square POS, Shopify POS, Korona, and Heartland Retail can now test the complete platform for 14 days, without sharing credit card details.
“We want retailers to experience the power of Octopus without risk,” noted the CEO. “Just connect your POS and see how effortless retail feels when everything runs in near real-time.”
A SaaS Platform Built for Reliability, Scale, and Growth
As a modern SaaS solution, Octopus offers:
- High uptime and cloud reliability
- Continuous feature enhancements
- Zero maintenance for retailers
- Built-in automation across operations and marketing
- Multi-channel selling at different price points
- Overselling prevention through precise stock sync
“Retailers today are selling everywhere - marketplaces, eCommerce, Instagram, physical stores,” said the VP – Business Development. “Our job is to make sure they never miss a sale, never oversell, and never struggle with manual data entry again.”
Retailers Invited to Experience the Future of Retail Automation
Octopus Bridge invites retailers of all sizes - independent stores, regional chains, and enterprise retailers - to test the platform risk-free.
“Once retailers try Octopus, they instantly feel the difference,” the CEO’s office commented. “We encourage every retailer to test the integration at least once. It simplifies your business, boosts your visibility, and strengthens your bottom line.”
