Unified Commerce with Yourcegid Retail
Unified Commerce
73% of retailers plan to implement a unified commerce platform by the end of 2019, according to a Boston Retail Partners (BPR) report. In omnichannel you have multiple channels which can be a bit of a juggling act to follow. While focusing on creating a consistent customer experience across all sales channels, omnichannel leaves merchants with separate systems for each channel. This makes for inconsistent, inaccurate data shared across the organization. There’s no single version of data that is easily shared. Unified commerce relies on a single truth of data. When data is shared in real-time, it’s accessible to the customer and merchant whenever, wherever. That’s the value of unified commerce compared to omnichannel
Unified commerce allows you to bring all of those channels together into one place, to re-centralise the information and have it all within view. It’s following in the footsteps of banks, with their ATMs and interconnected networks, and bringing that organised fluidity to retail. Centralised operating is the future – but in a way which doesn’t completely do away with the retail sector as we know it and all of the investments made in hardware. Instead, it’s introducing a “middle man”, so to speak, a dot-connector to bring existing channels together. Unified commerce is hugely advantageous compared to ecommerce platforms which don't cover all of retail companies’ needs; by unifying your sales channels – direct stores, outlets and online shops – you simplify your business activities and increase productivity.
Unified commerce software has numerous benefits, such as:
- Allowing you to manage your retail business in real time from one place (merging channels)
- Engaging your customers without employees thanks to marketing automation features
- Managing your brand within your stores and online
- Providing a seamless customer experience by bridging the gap between online and in-store purchases/visits
- Collecting data about your customers to identify the most loyal ones for example
- Growing your sales thanks to new channels, and accessing new markets thanks to an easy international reach
- Making your business more mobile and more connected
- Providing a personalised experience to make customers feel special to you
The biggest benefit of Unified Commerce is a smooth customer experience; with 89% of businesses soon expecting to compete mainly on customer experience (Gartner), there is a clear need to be met by this model. The more retailers expand their business base, the harder it becomes to offer customers a seamless experience. So what next? Yourcegid is the go-to unified commerce solution.
