Retailers who access and use vital in-depth customer demand insights can stay ahead of the retail curve
Innovative retailers are now using technology to create a seamless omnichannel experience to bridge the gap between online and in-store.
Thriving retailers are selecting smart technologies to benefit their customers and provide data insights to help make better business decisions. The right technology can benefit everyone in the business, from those making strategic decisions (like the CEO) to operational roles, including Ecommerce Managers, Marketing Managers, Merchandise Planners, Allocation Analysts, and Customer Service teams.
So what technology systems or services are you currently using to understand customer demand across your entire store network and better facilitate the unison of your bricks-and-clicks?
Going beyond simple data collection benefits the whole team
An array of SaaS solutions for retailers are now available, saving hours of development time and ongoing costs associated with the necessary upkeep of in-house built systems. For retailers, the challenge is choosing the right SaaS provider who’ll go above and beyond to service your business.
