Retailers’ Top Pain Points of “Online-to-Offline” Disconnects solved
OrderDynamics Solves Retailers’ Top Pain Points of “Online-to- Offline” Disconnects with New Omni-Channel Capabilities
As retailers enter the make-or-break festive season, they’re haunted by a perpetual “Ghost Economy” — a data and inventory disconnect that is costing the industry more than $800 billion (£4.8 billion) per year, according to IHL Group*. Tis Ghost Economy is present when
commerce activities are disconnected across a retailer’s omni-channel operations, resulting in inventory distortion, out-of-stock and deeply discounted products being marketed, and orders taken for products that don’t exist. OrderDynamics is addressing these disconnects head-on with the latest release of omni-channel capabilities within Dynamic Action, the first- of-its-kind Decision Intelligence application for retailers.
“Te disconnects in retailers’ online and offline
operations represent a very real threat to sales and profitability. We call this a Ghost Economy, and it’s an issue that has been plaguing retailers for years. Te disconnects are only growing worse as commerce becomes increasingly complex,” said Kevin Sterneckert, CMO, OrderDynamics. “Retailers must solve these disconnects in order to improve omni-channel execution, increase sales and answer customers’ ever- growing expectations — and that’s exactly what OrderDynamics is delivering with our latest release of Dynamic Action.” Dynamic Action now incorporates offline and
online store data to provide a comprehensive omni-channel view of products, customers, channels and marketing. Dynamic Action’s big data insights, combined with immediate, detailed recommendations that drive profitable growth across all channels, helps retailers solve the disconnects that haunt their omni-channel operations and enable Intelligent Commerce. Te OrderDynamics commerce suite, with the
strength of Dynamic Action’s newest capabilities at the core, identifies opportunities for retailers to achieve this type of omni-channel excellence:
