The Strategy Execution Network!
Moving to omnichannel to offer!customers a seamless shopping experience!
Single Channel Multi-Channel Cross-Channel Omni-Channel
The Paste
Retailer most often had only one channel,
e.g. a shop or only catalogues (mail orders)
The First Step
Channels are standalone. Customer confronted
with different assortment, prices, deals, etc.
eCommerce is separated, systems are silo-ed
The Current State
Alignment in brand experience, Assortment,
Prices, etc. Backoffice (organisation,
Systems) however not integrated
The Ambition
Consistent experience across all channels,
marketing not scattered, systems integrated,
customer has seamless experience while moving
between channels

(processes, systems, organisation and data)
