ABOUT MARK D. BARNES

The retail industry is in constant transformation as it morphs between an online and in-store experience. While technology revolutionizes shopping, there are fundamentals that never change: Increasing productivity lowers costs and Enhancing customer experiences improves sales That’s where I come in. As the CEO of LNL Systems, I understand how to maximize those principles on an evolving landscape. I’ve built a team that uses a mix of technology from two-way radios to custom software that provides comprehensive communication services for major retailers. I founded the company in 2009 and quickly became the largest Motorola two-way radio partner in North America. Flash forward half a dozen years and LNL Systems is included in CIO Review Magazine’s 20 Most Promising Retail Solutions Providers in 2016 and in Inc.’s Fastest Growing Private Companies. FlorComm, our smart sales floor technology platform, is used across Specialty & Apparel, Multi-Department and Grocery segments throughout North America. It’s working for a range of retail partners from Coach, Foot Locker and Louis Vuitton to Michael Kors, Staples, Tory Burch, Under Armour and more. The FlorLink SmartHub is a Retail IoT Platform that transforms alerts from both in-store and online sources into actionable messages for retail associates and managers—and into data for executive analysis. LNL brings years of unrivaled experience and a world-class board of advisors to retailers constantly focused on improving the shopping experience and the bottom line. We collaborate to understand specific business goals and technology needs, providing headache-free rollouts and superb after-sale support training to maximize your investment. LNL’s goal is to provide Best-in-Class Sales Floor/Retail Technology Solutions to clients amidst revolutionary change in the retail environment. I\'m on LinkedIn to build relationships that result in more product & service options for LNL customers. Let’s connect.
