Digitize your sales network and increase its performance thanks to Retail Enterprise Gamification
The retail industry has reached a real “digital turning point”. While online sales are increasing 10% per year , sales in brick-and-mortar stores are stagnating. This gap between digital and physical will only increase in the coming years. However, the problem is not just about the growing competitiveness of eCommerce.
Retailers must respond to emerging consumer needs and embrace a world where experience is of the essence. To do this, you need to better coordinate your people and adopt the typical efficiencies of retail 5.0 in a widespread manner.
Customers, thanks to online, are smarter than ever in their purchasing decisions : they research products online, check availability, read reviews, look for the best prices, all before investing time or money.
This means that the purchase takes on a deeper dimension in every aspect: the overall experience, the personalization, the branding, the story.
The shift in consumer behavior is a unique opportunity for retailers to reposition brick-and-mortar stores and become the epicenter of the customer experience, leveraging digital channels to personalize offerings and drive consumers to the point of sale. There will be a breakeven point, in fact, where the physical experience will have a considerable payback , physicality and relationships will be the strategic asset that will guide the evolution of every retail network.
If you manage a retail network , your mission today is to create the perfect synergy between digital activities and physical sales processes to increase productivity, sales and revenue. In one word, the retail scenario will increasingly be that of Phygital.
Our goal is to provide you with all the tools you need to accelerate innovation and transform the whole approach to work , making it more productive, more stimulating and more effective. This is the core of our Retail Enterprise Gamification solutions for managing retail networks.
We will help you generate a sense of accomplishment in your sales team , stimulate the actions necessary to achieve the objectives and increase efficiency and productivity.
