SPECIAL REPORT: The Need for Unified Commerce

Friday, September 20, 2019 — 13:47:00 (EDT)

Many retailers are finding it much harder than they thought to implement unified commerce capabilities. As a result, many retailers are still running a “faux omni-channel” environment even though consumers have indicated that a holistic, unified shopping experience is expected. Retailers are making progress, as 86% have implemented consistent pricing/promotions across channels; however, half of these implementations need improvement.

Retailers may have the ability to access some of the necessary information to personalize the customer experience, but being able to do it operationally and effectively during interaction with the customer is not convenient or efficient. This environment sets the stage for retailers to adopt a single commerce platform.

According to BRP’s Report, retailers indicate the following are the top unified commerce priorities to enhance the customer experience:

Create a consistent brand experience across channels (59%) Improve the online experience (52%) Improve personalization (45%) Improve the mobile shopping experience (41%)
