Customer shopping habits are changing, online and in-store experiences have to be seamless, competition is becoming more dynamic and employees need to deliver better customer service than ever before. Pure digital retailers are opening physical stores, and traditional retailers need to excel in their online approach. Whichever type of retail business you are, the challenge is to create a frictionless omnichannel shopping experience that supports and inspires customers however they choose to shop. To fulfil their ambition retailers must be able to access end to end digital capabilities and skills across their business.
For digital transformation to succeed, retailers need to balance the basics, plan for the future and identify opportunities for innovation. Any programmes of change must be aligned with clear business goals and have the ability to be integrated in store, online and throughout the supply chain.
