The Age of Unified Retail

“With more and more consumers shopping across channels, retailers must finally crack the code on multichannel success,” said Peter Zaballos, senior vice president and chief marketing officer, SPS Commerce. “Industry research leader, Gartner helps us to better understand how retailers are operating across functions in today’s multichannel world, where the disconnects lie and what factors lead to multichannel success.”

 

Titled “Survey Analysis: Multichannel Supply Chain Success Driven by Three Factors”, the report stresses the importance of three success factors: distributed order management, stage 3 demand planning and effective use of store inventory. The report also includes recommendations of what retail supply chain leaders should do to improve supply chain planning maturity and capabilities.

 

“As the largest retail-focused community in the industry, with a network of more than 70,000 vendors, distributors, retailers and logistics partners, SPS is pleased to offer this information-rich report from such a well-respected research and advisory firm,” says Zaballos.
