Summary

Be efficient. Be profitable

While embracing new interactive channels has been a primary focus for most traditional retailers over the last 5 years, priorities have shifted more recently towards integrating those online touch points. It appears that integration has been a persistent challenge for many businesses in the sector. But why?

Having an appropriate fulfilment method that’s always ready to quickly & seamlessly deliver the products your customers want is a crucial part of being a Multichannel brand. Establishing a flexible, reliable, and accurate scalable strategy that allows you to manage orders across channels and locations - but which doesn’t eat into your profit margins - is a more daunting challenge than retailers initially realise.

Are you tackling the real challenges of delivering on Multichannel retail? Our morning session will examine the issues involved in creating a seamless Multichannel experience for both you and your customers. We’ll hear from retailers who are on the journey towards solving these incredibly complex and potentially expensive challenges.
