Ordergroove, a leader in relationship commerce, today announced that GNC
Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: GNC), a leading global health and wellness brand,
has transformed its business with the help of Ordergroove and Salesforce
Commerce Cloud, the fastest path to unified commerce. Working with
Ordergroove, GNC has achieved success through an omnichannel
subscription experience that has helped them form long-term customer
relationships that generate recurring subscription revenue.

The GNC program, powered by Ordergroove’s relationship commerce platform
and Salesforce Commerce Cloud, enables customers to enroll and use
subscriptions online and in retail stores, reducing friction from the
path to purchase while establishing a lifetime relationship between the
retailer and consumer. By tapping into their sales associates to enroll
customers with digital in-store experiences, GNC has been able to
convert many one-time customers into recurring customers.

“The ability to offer an omnichannel subscription service through our
partnership with Ordergroove has quickly gained traction and has been of
tremendous value to our business,” said Tricia Tolivar, Chief Financial
Officer at GNC. “By offering customers an easy and flexible way to order
and reorder their favorite products, whether in-store or online, we’re
seeing enrollment in subscriptions rise and growth in recurring revenue.”

“GNC now has an innovative approach to relationship commerce that puts
the customer at the center,” said Greg Alvo, CEO, Ordergroove. “By
combining a holistic subscription experience with their in-store sales
strategy, GNC has been able to reduce friction from the shopping
experience and drive recurring customers. We’re thrilled to work with
GNC and leverage our integration with Salesforce Commerce Cloud to help
them maximize recurring revenue potential.”

Ordergroove’s integration with Salesforce Commerce Cloud helps retailers
and brands maximize the impact of recurring revenue via personalized
subscription, reorder and membership experiences while minimizing
implementation risk.
