Women's fashion and lifestyle retailer with omnichannel retail operations
Altar'd State operates a multi-unit retail footprint across the US and international markets, anchored by SAP enterprise resource planning (ERP) and a legacy technology replacing cycle now underway. The organization is heavily sales and operations-focused—with 430 active sales roles and 133 ops positions against only 5 engineering headcount—reflecting a brick-and-mortar retail model rather than a software-driven one. Concurrent investments in onboarding, talent pipelines, and guest engagement indicate operational scale challenges typical of rapid multi-unit expansion.
