nimble or flexible

make changes to order routing rules or
implement promotions
According to Forrester, only 19% of
retailers surveyed already have in place a
way to see a customer’s account and
order history across all channels
19%

14. CLOUD-BASED RETAIL TECHNOLOGY
ALLOWS FOR ADVANCED FUNCTIONALITY

15. MOBILE POINT OF SALE
•Empowers store employees, rapidly expands business,
and allows you to scale internationally
•Facilitates the unification of the online and
offline experience
•Mobile point of commerce in-store transactions
communicate between stores and devices
•Performs the same functions as a register, but from
anywhere in the store

16. PREDICTIVE ANALYTICS
•Heighten product relevance through big data
•Anticipate next clicks and deliver ultra-relevant
products and content
•Capitalize on hidden shopping patterns to drive
engagement and sales
•Prevent on-site search, click and cart
abandonment
•Anticipate replenishment and re-purchase levels

17. EMPOWERING RETAIL ASSOCIATE
PLATFORMS
•Many omnichannel initiatives (save the sale, in-store
pickup, ship-from-store) require store associate
engagement
•To encourage participation, retail associates needs
tools that are:
•Intuitive and easy to use
•Useful
•Modern

18. ADVANCED ORDER ROUTING
•Responsive order routing tools can easily be
configured to maximize inventory usage and profitably
manage orders
•These configurations can be made by a company on
their own -- no need to contact your software provider
to make changes
•Changes in order routing rules can happen in real
time, or different environments can be preconfigured
to be called into action at a predetermined time, such
as Black Friday

19. •Allows retailers to capture consumers who choose
to purchase directly from the branded manufacturer
•Through APIs, retailers can share their real-time
inventory and data feeds directly into brands’
websites
•Extends purchasing beyond the confines of the
retailers’ eCommerce website to enable “buy
anywhere” capabilities
•Encourages in-store pickup confidence because
consumers know the item is available before
jumping in the car
INTEGRATED INVENTORY SHARING

20. THE FUTURE OF
RETAIL TECHNOLOGY
Cloud-based retail technology that
incorporates your eCommerce
website, order management system
and mobile point of sale system into
one unified platform allows you to
leverage the most advanced retail
strategies and become an
omnichannel champion
