The Challenge

Retailers often operate with separate online and offline channels: separate inventory management, fragmented customer data, inconsistent pricing and promotions. Customers who cannot find a product in-store are told to check online, but encounter a completely different experience. Competition with pure-play online retailers is intensifying.

Online and offline inventory not synchronized with missed sales opportunities
Customer data fragmented across multiple different systems
Inconsistent pricing and promotions between channels
Different return processes per channel as a source of customer frustration

Our Approach

Our methodology provides for a phased transformation that starts with unifying customer data and inventory, followed by channel-specific optimizations. Quick wins in the first weeks create internal momentum for the larger changes.

1

Digital Maturity Assessment

3-5 weeks

Analysis of all channels, systems, processes, and customer journeys with identification of quick wins.

2

Unified Data Layer

10-16 weeks

Implementation of centralized customer profiles, shared inventory visibility, and unified pricing engine.

3

Channel Optimization

16-24 weeks

Webshop rebuild, in-store digitalization, mobile app, and integration with existing POS system.

4

Personalization & Optimization

12-20 weeks

AI-driven product recommendations, dynamic promotions, and continuous A/B testing across all channels.

Projected Outcomes

Based on our methodology, we project significant improvements in online revenue through better customer experience, as well as growth in physical revenue through improved inventory availability. Cross-channel sales typically increase significantly when the customer experience is integrated across channels. Exact results depend on the baseline situation, market conditions, and organizational adoption.

Our omnichannel methodology recognizes that transformation is not just technology, but a complete business change. An iterative approach with quick wins keeps organizations motivated throughout long-running engagements.
