How to build the basis for Omnichannel-Services
Omnichannel-retailing
Omni-channel is currently the biggest challenge that the fashion retail industry faces. According to a recent study, more than two thirds of customers long for a consistent shopping experience without any limits, but only 10 percent of fashion retailers can deliver on these expectations. Too often, online retail is seen as a rival to the physical stores. Customers, however, request a genuine link between online channels and brick-and-mortar stores, for click-and-collect services that work, for fast ship-from-store processes and for a consistent brand and shopping experience.
How can omni-channel work? For retailers and customers?
The requested omnichannel services only work smoothly and efficiently when the right basis exists:
- Article Availability: reliable article availability information
- Click-and-Collect: reservations in favoured store in real-time
- Instore-Ordering: enable in-store orders connecting all channels
- Return-to-Store: return online-ordered articles in the store
- Ship-from-store: avoid single picking in the DC and make use of store stock
