How to engage consumers via a 360 degree shopping experience, exploiting every channel available and presenting a consistent experience and branding approach throughout.

1. Solutions for
Omni-Channel Commerce
How does your business address Omni-Channel Commerce?
People now, more than ever, are demanding a rich and consistent experience with
your products and brand, across multiple commerce channels. So the way you inform,
educate and engage customers and consumers using product information must be
comprehensive, trustworthy and current.
Brand owners recognize the increasing need to manage and distribute digital assets
along with a broad spectrum of information about their product in order to meet
consumer expectations. After all, retailers, particularly online or mobile, rely on accurate
product and company data to drive consumer interest and influence purchase decisions.
Too often that information is of poor quality, putting consumer interest and potential
purchases at risk.
In recent years, the requirements for product data have evolved rapidly. This evolution
has been driven predominantly by consumer demand for access to information about
products that are presented to them in the growing digital space, as part of their
shopping experience. Smartphone technology and constant connectivity has driven
consumers to expect more granular product details; such as ingredient and allergen
information, technical specifications, and chemical ingredients. In addition to core
product details, consumers expect to see conveniently related information from external
sources such as social media, reviews, news, and blogs.
The consumer’s demand for this expanded information has put pressure on the Retail
industry and is undergoing a massive transition; consider the rise of the omnipresent
approach to next generation retail, and the investments in omni-channel technology
that the retail and consumer goods verticals are making.
