In 2021, it is estimated that there will be 2.1 billion digital buyers worldwide. The internet has revolutionized the way we shop—and with technology rewriting the rules of retail, you need to get on board or you'll be left behind – So, are you ready for the Retail Renaissance?
It’s no secret that consumers are calling the shots—and they have spoken. Today's consumers demand the personalization of Netflix, the convenience of Uber, and the speed of Amazon. Consumers want fast, easy, secure, and streamlined round-the-clock shopping experiences. They want one-day shipping services, discounts and vouchers, customized recommendations, and no fuss, easy returns—and if you can’t provide it for them, they will find a retailer that can.
Did you know that 80% of CEOs believe their brand offers a superior experience—but only 8% of customers agree? With increasing competition paired with ever-changing customer expectations and greater emphasis to maintain consumer trust and loyalty—balancing consistent execution and customer satisfaction is a tightrope few can walk.
Disruptive technology has taken a firm grip on the retail industry. Whether or not retailers like it, the retail landscape is fast-changing; and to compete in today’s dynamic and rapidly evolving landscape, retailers must change, too. Retailers must evolve from efficient retailers to intelligent enterprises, or they will lose relevance, margin, and market share.
By the end of 2020, your customers will manage 85% of their relationships online. Disruptive Technologies are powering retail experiences—making change the need of the hour. It’s now become imperative for retailers to effectively merge technology with function to become intelligent enterprises—and intelligent ERP is the only, and best solution.
Technology is the synergist for the revolution of customer behaviours, desires, and needs, and intelligent enterprises that use the latest ERP systems across their business—in real-time, give their customers the products, information and personalised shopping experiences they desire and need, building trust and loyalty. So, we’ll ask again—are you ready for the Retail Renaissance?
As retail restrictions begin to ease, it's critical for retailers to plan for reopening and relaunching their retail business. Shopper behaviours are changing fast, and to keep up, retailers must streamline operations while adapting to the “New Normal.” As the new shopper journey evolves it has become crucial for retailers to search out opportunities to connect with and better serve their customers and capitalise on these opportunities.
