What Is Omnichannel Commerce?

Omnichannel Commerce is a strategy that integrates sales and customer contact channels to provide a seamless experience, both online and offline.

How does it work?

Connects online stores, brick-and-mortar stores, apps, marketplaces, and customer support through shared data on products, customers, inventory, and orders.

This way, a customer can search online, check store availability, make a purchase through another channel, and return the product at a physical store without having to start the process over.

What is it for?

It helps reduce fragmentation across channels, streamline the purchasing process, and ensure consistent information throughout the entire operation.

Key Features

Integrated channels

The points of contact share information and procedures.

Synchronized data

Inventory, customers, and orders are tracked across channels.

Ongoing experience

The customer can switch channels without losing context.

Advantages

It can reduce friction and enable options such as buying online and picking up or returning items in-store. It also facilitates a more integrated view of the customer and the operation.

Omnichannel vs. Multichannel

Multichannel means selling through multiple channels. Omnichannel adds integration among them.

A company can have a brick-and-mortar store, an e-commerce site, and a marketplace and still be considered multichannel if each channel operates independently.

Examples of Use

Shop online and pick up in-store, check physical inventory on the website, return an online purchase in-store, or maintain customer history across channels.

Who should use it?

Companies that need to connect multiple sales channels to systems such as ERP, CRM, or logistics.
