The impact of the COVID-19 crisis on both families and businesses around the world is truly heart-breaking, and over the last few months the retail sector has undoubtedly experienced unprecedented challenges and retailers are having to innovate and get creative about how to sell their products.
Now more so than ever, flexible retailing is so important for small and medium-sized retailers, but what does this actually mean?
The flexibility of your retail system is key; the ability to seamlessly interact between online and in-store selling. Retailers need to be agile and adapt quickly to succeed and compete in these extraordinary times.
For those retailers that have access to this, they have been able to adapt quickly in this changing environment, meet consumer demands, keep their head above water and also grow profits.
Don’t be limited by your existing retail system
With the numerous sales channels ie in-store, face-to-face, online shop, Internet marketplaces like Amazon and eBay, as well as social media like Facebook and Instagram, providing the customer with more ways to buy your products will satisfy customer expectations, however the challenge for retailers is not just about offering these ways of selling, but how to do it with ease and then manage it efficiently.
Too many retailers will be restricted by their existing retail systems, finding them disjointed and not fit for purpose in this multi-channel retailing world. Not fully understanding their stock levels and requirements across each sales channel and with little or no connectivity between each channel, is not only frustrating but extremely time-consuming.
Retailers need to be up and running quickly and easily, with each sales channel seamlessly complementing each other, to be able to understand stock levels, and support a streamlined, multi-channel retail experience.
Technology that supports flexible retailing
Implementing retail software that provides you with a central hub where you can oversee and run your multi-channel retailing will take away the headache of running multiple systems.
Retail software that offers you the flexibility of where you want to sell your products, connecting all your data seamlessly from your shop through to your eCommerce website, to marketplaces and social channels will not only save you time but will also maximise your selling potential.
Retail software that is flexible and can adapt quickly will help you take advantage of changing environments and opportunities to boost profits and make it easy for you to manage and grow.
Retail software that allows your customer to shop in-store, online, via mobile, laptop or a combination of all by offering a consistent customer experience will allow you to meet customer expectations.
