With Aptos ONE, the fitness retailer will boost its customer engagement and omnichannel capabilities at its 50+ store locations
Alpharetta, Ga. — May 7, 2025 — Aptos, a leader in unified commerce solutions, announced today that Road Runner Sports has selected Aptos ONE, a modern and mobile-first POS platform. The technology deployment will extend across Road Runner Sports’ 50+ retail stores in the United States. Aptos ONE will work seamlessly with the retailer’s existing SaaS applications from Aptos – Merchandising, OMS, CRM and Sales Audit – to ensure that Road Runner Sports’ customers benefit from highly personalized service, real-time inventory availability and connected offline/online interactions.
Based in San Diego, Road Runner Sports is a reseller of many different brands of athletic shoes, apparel and fitness devices. The company’s mission is to inspire every individual to get moving, stay active and live healthy. Unique to Road Runner Sports is its Fit Finder technology, which allows customers in-store or online to get fitted for their perfect shoes. The retailer also has a popular membership program that provides subscribing members with extended guarantees and other benefits.
“At Road Runner Sports, we’ve redefined the traditional shoe buying experience – from our groundbreaking shoe-fitting technology to our comprehensive membership program to our curated assortment of top brands,” said Tom Compogiannis, Chief Financial Officer at Road Runner Sports. “We’re always looking for ways to elevate our customers’ journey with us, which led to our interest in Aptos ONE.
“With Aptos ONE, our Team Members will have everything they need to serve shoppers – whether that’s mobile checkout, looking up real-time inventory and placing an order for an item not at that store, accessing customer profile and loyalty information, processing returns, checking order status and much more – all on a single device.
“We are proud of the experience we offer in our stores today, and we believe that equipping our Team Members with this next-gen POS solution is going to make our store experience even better. With Aptos ONE, we can offer shoppers more personalized, streamlined and informed service – without ever leaving their side or asking them to wait in line. Aptos ONE has the power to transform customer and Team Member interactions.”
In addition to the benefits Aptos ONE will bring to the store experience, Compogiannis sees significant opportunities in leveraging the technology for Road Runner Sports pop-up shops at events, expos and other gatherings.
“We want to interact with Road Runner Sports customers and potential customers wherever they are,” Compogiannis said. “As a cloud-native, mobile-first solution, Aptos ONE makes it easy to conduct selling activities just about anywhere.
“Our store teams can go out and fully immerse themselves into their local communities, inspiring people to find their perfect shoe fit and live an active lifestyle. The potential for customer acquisition and sales transactions outside the store is endless; Aptos ONE’s ability to enable this is one of the key reasons why we selected this platform.”
From mobile-enhanced store experiences to customer engagement outside the four walls of the store, there’s a lot of excitement and new initiatives underway between Road Runner Sports and Aptos.
Yet the partnership itself is not new; Road Runner Sports has been running Aptos technology for over a decade and counting.
Commenting on the longstanding nature of the Road Runner Sports and Aptos relationship, Compogiannis said, “Road Runner Sports is a customer-centric company, and so is Aptos. Aptos listens to us, understands our needs and develops solutions that address the needs of our business and our customers.”
According to Aptos GM Jeremy Grunzweig, Aptos ONE is an example of how Aptos develops solutions that account for customer needs.
“As Tom mentioned, there are significant benefits to retailers in adopting mobile POS solutions, yet we’ve heard from many retailers that they weren’t willing to sacrifice robust POS functionality for the sake of mobile. That is why we developed Aptos ONE with the best of both worlds – advanced enterprise-grade, omnichannel POS functionality with a mobile-first design.
“We’re proud to be on the Aptos ONE journey with Road Runner Sports – a true leader in footwear retailing innovation,” Grunzweig said. “We will be there every step of the way as Road Runner Sports explores the benefits of Aptos ONE to drive business growth, customer loyalty and associate satisfaction.”
