Cupertino, CA, March 1, 2022 — Ignitiv, a leading ecommerce agency, and Kibo, the leader in unified commerce, are pleased to announce the successful implementation of “buy online, pick up in store” (BOPIS) at Bi-Mart.
Across its full brick-and-mortar presence, Bi-Mart can now sell its product assortment online, allowing member customers to pick up orders from either Bi-Mart or Cascade Farm and Outdoor stores. Customers may also place orders at CascadeFarmAndOutdoor.com and pick up from any Bi-Mart store they choose, adding value and convenience to their shopping experience.
“With the implementation of this BOPIS solution from Kibo, we have taken a huge step forward, by providing more shopping options to our loyal members”, said Rich Truett, CEO of Bi-Mart. “As an employee-owned business, this implementation gives all of our associate stakeholders the power to improve customer experience in a meaningful way.”

“The flexibility that cross-channel experiences will bring to Bi-Mart customers will result in increased average order value and improved customer loyalty, leading to a higher customer lifetime value,” said Rajib Das, CEO, Ignitiv. “We are happy to partner with Kibo and Bi-Mart in the implementation of this best-of-breed solution.”
