Detego and partners presented how traditional ‘bricks and mortar’ retailers can gain back sales from online competitors and build efficient omni-channel retailing without upsetting their existing infrastructure. The key is to integrate and add intelligence to pivot existing services by better stock control and awareness – and therefore the use of staff.
Attendees were able to change the way they view the entire retail supply chain, from distribution centres via the shop floor into the hands of shoppers and learnt invaluable techniques to future-proof their businesses.

Innovative fashion retailers already use the potential of real-time article transparency and thus lay the foundation for their strategic challenges especially regarding digitalisation and omni-channel.
Further practical implementation ideas for the digital future in fashion retail were provided by Uwe Hennig, CEO at Detego with his presentation „Everyone claims Omni-channel but no one is really doing it – How marketing budgets ruin the supply chain“ at the Omni-channel Forum.
