Concrete benefits from the initial deployment phases include a premium, frictionless in-store experience with mobile terminals and Tap to Pay technology. The solutions implemented through the partnership with Adyen allow sales advisors to focus fully on their core role, without worrying about payment processing.

Automation of reconciliation and end-of-day processes has been achieved through the use of Adyen's solutions, resulting in a significant reduction in manual entry, saving time and minimizing errors.

The project's expansion is part of LVMH's broader ambition to deliver a flawless customer experience, reflecting the quality of its products and the craftsmanship of its Maisons. Beyond facilitating financial services, Adyen and LVMH are working together to elevate every touchpoint across LVMH's Maisons to match the luxury goods being purchased.

The unification continues to expand across more Maisons, aiming to deliver an elegant, efficient, and truly global payment experience. LVMH is aiming to strengthen synergies by adopting best practices across its Maisons, while preserving each Maison's unique identity and standards of excellence.

In summary, the partnership between Adyen and LVMH is delivering a seamless, premium shopping experience across LVMH's Maisons worldwide. The unified approach to payments has streamlined processes, reduced manual entry, and allowed sales advisors to focus on providing exceptional customer service.
