Key challenges with omni-channel multi-channel
retailing
6
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

manage data across multiple channels support

Software architecture that offers business
automation

  handled through server connection

  backups on periodic basis

  needs grow

retailers?

  solution.

needs

  commerce platform which provides a comprehensive
  set of capabilities for executing omnichannel
  strategy and eliminates individual channel silos
  to help them manage all the core business
  operations from a single dashboard.

The Big Question

  manage all major business operations?

management platform, retailers are beginning to
see a light at the end of the tunnel.

The need to
Implement inter-process communication
With omni-channel strategy, retailers also
realized the need to align operations, as no
strategy can be implemented without a
collaborative effort from individual business
departments.

How Inter-process alignment helps
your team take action faster

• Marketing Team
• The team can have instant access over in-stock
  items and shipment offers which help them
  strategize the right promotional activities.

Sales Team Upon receiving a sales order, the team
can check stock level, inform suppliers for
replenishment or share sales order details with
the fulfillment department.
Fulfillment Team The fulfillment ensures that
orders are being picked, packed shipped
accurately without any delays or hassles.
Customer Service The team can access the
