Legacy Systems and standalone proprietary software prevent omnichannel excellence.
A PwC study found that 40% of retailers blamed legacy systems and difficult-to-integrate software for subverting their omnichannel efforts. Purchasing proprietary software and inflexible solutions is not the way to overcome omnichannel challenges. Far better to invest in integration technology that bridges the gaps between your backend platforms.

ZOKU FOR RETAIL HIGHLIGHTS
There are several reasons retailers should own their sales channels, both brick and mortar and digital. Here are some key reasons:
- Control: Maintain control over the customer experience, from the moment a customer discovers their brand to the point of sale.
- Flexibility: Quickly adapt to changing market conditions and customer needs, such as launching new products, changing pricing or promotions, and responding to customer feedback.
- Data: Valuable data on customer behavior and preferences, such as purchasing history, demographics, and product preferences. This data can be used to inform marketing and merchandising strategies and improve the customer experience.
- Cost-effectiveness: Retailers with their own sales channels can often operate more cost-effectively than those that rely on third-party channels. For example, they can avoid paying commissions or fees to third-party sellers, reduce overhead costs, and optimize their supply chain and inventory management.
- Branding: By having their own sales channels, retailers can strengthen their brand identity and stand out from competitors. They can use their sales channels to communicate their brand values, tell their brand story, and build an emotional connection with customers.
In summary, having their own sales channels enables retailers to maintain control, adapt quickly, gain valuable data, operate more cost-effectively, and build their brand identity. These benefits can help retailers increase sales, improve customer loyalty, and stay competitive in a crowded market.

The system provides a unified view of the business, allowing retailers to manage their inventory, orders, and customer interactions seamlessly across multiple channels, including online stores, mobile apps, brick-and-mortar stores, and more.
An omnichannel retail management system typically includes features such as:
- Inventory management: The system manages inventory levels across all sales channels, providing real-time visibility into stock levels and automating inventory tracking to prevent stockouts.
- Order management: The system automates the order management process, including order entry, processing, fulfillment, shipping, and tracking, to ensure that orders are fulfilled efficiently and accurately.
- Sales Channels: Online and brick and mortar
- Customer management: The system manages customer interactions across all channels, providing a single, unified view of customer data, including purchase history, preferences, and contact information.
- Sales analytics: The system provides real-time reporting and analytics to help retailers make informed decisions based on accurate and timely data, including sales data, inventory data, and customer data.
- Marketing automation: The system automates marketing campaigns across multiple channels, including email, social media, and mobile apps, to increase customer engagement and sales.

The system enables retailers to respond quickly to changing market conditions and customer preferences, ultimately leading to increased sales and profitability.
Omnichannel retailing is a retail strategy that aims to provide customers with a seamless and consistent shopping experience across all available channels, including brick-and-mortar stores, online stores, social media platforms, mobile apps, and other digital channels.
The goal of omnichannel retailing is to provide customers with a unified and integrated experience, regardless of how they choose to shop. This means that customers can research, browse, purchase, and return products using any combination of channels, and their experience will be consistent and personalized throughout.
In an omnichannel retailing strategy, retailers use technology and data to connect and integrate different channels, providing customers with a seamless experience. This often involves investing in sophisticated inventory management systems, logistics and delivery networks, customer relationship management tools, and analytics and data platforms.
By providing customers with a seamless and consistent experience across all channels, retailers can increase customer satisfaction, loyalty, and sales, and gain a competitive advantage in an increasingly crowded retail market.
