To get access to the OLC Retail Universe you should apply for a username and password directly to Ole Lynggaard A/S in Copenhagen. OLC Retail App should be used in portrait mode hence all our product images are stored in optimal HD portrait mode. After installation of OLC Retail App, a full sync of all products is initiated. You should process the sync on WiFi only hence the large amount of data and images transferred on initial app launch. After a full sync you will get updates to the OLC Retail App on a needed basis. The full sync will give you the best usability and experience with all data accessible offline. This means that you do not need to be connected to the Internet to get a truly amazing experience of our product collections.
