Key challenges with omni-channel & multi-channel retailing
The Omni-channel dilemma: Retailers are required to unify their online and offline stores
to provide omni-channel experience to their end customers.
Inventory visibility and availability: Retailers have to constantly look for ways to
optimize the inventory they have, to ensure that it is accessible via all selling channels
and customer engagement points.
Real-time visibility across the supply chain process: With the increase in the point of
sales across different geographies, retailers need to have real-time visibility across the
supply chain process which enables them to take an informed on-time decision.
Strategize the inventory allocation model: Getting the right inventory to the right
store/channel at the right time has a significant impact on the effective utilization of
stock.
Overcoming these retail challenges
Spreadsheets have failed to help retailers to manage data across multiple channels & support cross-border sales.
Automation is
the Key
Delivering on the
omnichannel experience
requires a single and
integrated platform that
can provide global
inventory visibility along
with seamless order
management and
fulfillment processes.
