Integrated Digital Services
Opening up your digital capability
The increasing adoption of digital services by customers represents a tremendous opportunity for retailers – providing a platform for greater customer insight, deeper brand awareness and loyalty, and new sales and customer service models. Forward-thinking retailers are exploring channels such as the internet and social media for closer connection with their customers – but need to integrate them with traditional channels to capitalise on the benefits and position themselves for the future.

The critical strategies for success online
As customers become increasingly comfortable using multiple channels to complete their shopping journeys, the use of the internet channel is evolving. Retailers need to move from a channel-centric approach to one that puts the customer at the core and delivers an integrated experience, regardless of how customers interact by developing both the business side (supply chain, operating model, policy and process, and board level leadership) and agile technology platforms (single view of the customer, better information management and open-standard, service-oriented IT infrastructure).
