Max Retail Expands Point-of-Sale Integrations, Welcomes RICS to Support Footwear Retailers and Streamline Aged Inventory Management

West Palm Beach, Florida – March 3, 2026,  — Max Retail, a leading retail technology company that helps independent retailers and brands recoup wholesale costs on dead stock, today announced a new integration partnership with RICS Software, a retail management and point-of-sale (POS) solution widely used by footwear retailers. 

The integration marks a positive step forward, particularly for those footwear retailers, to simplify the process of managing and monetizing severely aged inventory. Designed to reduce manual work and increase operational efficiency, the integration allows retailers to quickly identify SKUs within RICS and seamlessly transfer product data directly into the Max Retail platform. When merchandise sells in-store, inventory is automatically updated, preventing oversells. RICS users can now save time, reduce errors, and accelerate cash flow previously held up in their backrooms without disrupting day-to-day operations.

“Retailers have enough on their plates” said Melodie van der Baan, Co-Founder and CEO of Max Retail. “This long-awaited RICS integration now gives our shared retailers a seamless way to fold Max Retail into their aged inventory strategy.”

Max Retail enables over 3,000 independent retailers in all 50 states to generate meaningful revenue. Though the platform supports sellers of apparel, footwear, eyewear, jewelry and more, footwear is the  highest-performing category on the Max Retail platform. Recent Max Retail data highlights the strength of the footwear category:

– Footwear retailers earn, on average, 3.6x higher monthly payouts compared to sellers in other categories.

– Footwear retailers on the platform receive 8x higher cost recovery compared to traditional liquidation. 

This integration reflects Max Retail’s continued commitment to providing retailers with technology-driven solutions that simplify operations and maximize profitability. By partnering with leading retail systems like RICS, Max Retail ensures retailers can seamlessly incorporate aged inventory management into their existing workflows. Max Retail remains committed to building more features that benefit footwear retailers throughout 2026 and beyond. 

The Max Retail and RICS integration is available immediately to retailers using RICS Software.
