Today, retail is all about creating the ultimate shopping experience. Why? Because the future of modern retail lies in creating meaningful and memorable relationships. Retails today are concerned about selling more through many channels. But fail at providing a seamless experience to the customers across all touch points. This missing connection with the customers not only drives new customers away but also prohibits brands from retaining old customers.
The Unforeseen Consequence Of Multichannel Retail “I don’t very often hear customers talking about ‘channels’ or ‘journeys’ or even ‘experiences’, customers just tell us they want to go shopping,” says Argos digital director Mark Steel. The biggest challenge of retail is still focused on building connected customer experiences, irrespective of channel so that customers can enjoy a great shopping experience whenever, wherever and however they choose.

I nconsistent customer experience – When selling across many marketplaces, your customers go through a different experience across various sale points. Because of this, your brand image takes a hit. And customers are no longer restricted by brand loyalty to come back and shop from you. Cumbersome performance evaluation- Multichannel retail makes it difficult to evaluate the market response and customer behaviour on each individual channel. And if your operations are manual, tracking and analyzing market response becomes all the more difficult. Laborious management – For an early startup retail business, tracking sales across various sales points is easy. But eventually, every startup expects growth, increase in sales and higher pro ts. Imagine tracking a high number of everyday sales across 10+ marketplaces. If I tell you it’s dif cult, it would be an understatement. It is nearly impossible to ef ciently track sales across 10+ marketplaces without errors. This impacts the time of delivery, inventory management, customer satisfaction, and order ful lment. I ntegrating online/offline stores – This is a crucial step to achieving higher customer satisfaction in modern retail. When customers shop from you, they expect to be able to order online and pick it up from your offline store and vice versa. But nonintegration of online & offline store restricts you from providing this seamless shift to the customers.
