Integrating Order Management for Omni-Channel Success Transforming Retail: From E-commerce to Omni-channel Key Trends and Opportunities in Mobile Payments

The e-commerce market continues to grow exponentially. More consumers are opting for the convenience of online shopping. This trend has been accelerated by COVID-19.

The future of e-commerce is Omni-channel Retailing. A single channel is no longer enough. The challenge is to find a seamless solution for both the Customer Experience and internal processes.

Omni-channel Retailing means being available at any time and anywhere, making it convenient for the customer. We must develop a Channel Sales Strategy that incorporates all relevant channels and integrates the Customer experience across these various sales and retail marketing channels. In this changing landscape, 3 critical focus areas are now challenging our company's performance:

1. Omni-channel Marketing – Consumers demand a more personalized shopping experience, making retail marketing offers based on consumers’ shopping behavior important. It is a challenge to know which channels to use to get the highest conversion rate and sales performance.

2. Mobile Payment – The availability of convenient, mobile payment solutions decides the consumer’s purchasing decision. Customers want quick, safe, and simple payments. Our company must develop our own in-house payment solutions to control costs and to increase influence on customer’s decisions.

3. Omni-channel Supply Chain – Customers demand better service levels, high availability of the product, and faster delivery. New Fulfillment and Supply Chain Strategies have emerged as our companies respond to the changing marketplace by developing alternative solutions.

This Omni-channel Retail Strategy PPT discusses these 3 focus areas in detail (with at least 5 slides per area), including key trends, next steps, and relevant benchmarks.

Succeeding online relies on the ability to design and implement a thorough strategy on how to market through the channels that customers desire—both now and in the future. Our company needs to invest significant time in planning before executing. It is critical to do it right.

RETAIL STRATEGY PPT SLIDES

Integrating Order Management for Omni-Channel Success

This PPT slide outlines the critical role of an Order Management System (OMS) within an omni-channel supply chain framework. A robust OMS facilitates seamless interactions between customer touchpoints, including call centers, websites, mobile apps, physical stores, and catalogs. The OMS integrates these channels to ensure smooth order processing. Delivery options illustrated include eCommerce delivery centers, kiosks, pop-up stores, and traditional brick-and-mortar locations, highlighting the OMS's role in managing inventory and delivery logistics. The OMS also provides real-time insights into inventory levels, delivery options, and customer data, which are essential for operational efficiency and customer satisfaction. An up-to-date OMS is vital for offering comprehensive delivery options and enhancing omni-channel capabilities.

Transforming Retail: From E-commerce to Omni-channel

This PPT slide outlines the evolution of retail driven by e-commerce growth. It highlights the transition from traditional bricks-and-mortar operations to the emergence of e-tailers, emphasizing the necessity for retailers to establish an online presence. The shift to multi-channel operations reflects the need for integration of online and offline strategies, as many customers shop across channels. The concept of omni-channel retailing is introduced, where products and services are accessible anytime, anywhere, ensuring cohesive operation across channels. Companies are reassessing the role of physical stores, whether temporary or permanent, to adapt to the digital-first marketplace and meet evolving customer demands.

Key Trends and Opportunities in Mobile Payments

This PPT slide outlines significant trends in mobile payments, focusing on 5 key areas for omni-channel customers. The first trend is the increasing use of e-payments, which streamline transactions and enhance convenience. The second trend involves companies managing payment processing in-house for greater control and reduced costs. The third trend highlights cost-effective payment solutions that meet customer needs. The fourth trend is the rise of cloud-enabled payments, facilitating scalability and flexibility. Lastly, secured payment solutions reflect the growing importance of security in transactions. Key opportunities for optimizing payment portfolios include negotiating credit terms, implementing multiple payment solutions for customer flexibility, and evaluating in-house invoicing profitability.

Optimizing Omni-channel Supply Chain Performance Metrics

This PPT slide analyzes benchmarks for an omni-channel supply chain, focusing on key performance indicators (KPIs) to enhance operational effectiveness. Critical metrics include fulfillment cost per order, customer service cost per order, labor cost, and warehouse cost, categorized into entry level, average, and leading. The leading fulfillment cost per order is significantly lower than average and entry levels, indicating improvement opportunities. Operational metrics such as gross margin, revenue growth, repeat customer rate, and average order value provide insights into business health and customer retention. The substantial difference in average order value for repeat customers between entry and leading levels suggests that prioritizing customer retention can yield financial benefits. Lower percentages in these metrics correlate with greater effectiveness in managing returns or fulfillment costs, guiding decision-makers in optimizing supply chain strategies.

Key Focus Areas for Enhancing E-Commerce Performance

Strategic management in e-commerce focuses on 3 critical areas: omni-channel marketing, mobile payment, and omni-channel supply chain. Omni-channel marketing enhances marketing effectiveness through integrated approaches across various platforms, leading to improved customer engagement and conversion rates. Mobile payment serves as a key revenue driver, emphasizing the need for seamless and secure transactions to capture sales from mobile shoppers. The omni-channel supply chain is essential for aligning operations with customer preferences, enhancing satisfaction and loyalty. Effectively managing these areas can transform them into market generators, driving growth and improving overall e-commerce performance.

Customer-Centric Delivery and Return Strategy Framework

This PPT slide presents a framework for delivery and return strategies within an omni-channel supply chain. It highlights the pivotal role of customer expectations in determining delivery options. Five core strategies are identified: Drop-shipping, Click-and-collect, Reserve-and-collect, Delivery lockers, and Same-day delivery, all centered around customer-centricity. Each strategy is interconnected, emphasizing the need for a comprehensive approach to effective supply chain management. While each option has its merits, there is no universal solution, necessitating a tailored logistics approach that aligns with specific customer needs and market conditions. Understanding customer preferences is essential for optimizing delivery and return strategies in supply chain operations.

Progression of Mobile Payment Capabilities

This PPT slide outlines the progression of mobile payment solutions through 4 maturity levels: Entry Level, Developing, Performing, and Leading. At the Entry Level, organizations lack a defined payment processing strategy, offering only one payment type, which limits sales growth. The Developing stage introduces basic functionality, focusing on cost and customer options, with organizations beginning to track costs and negotiate. In the Performing stage, advanced functionalities are implemented, tailoring payment solutions to customer needs and establishing Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) for effective contract management. The Leading stage optimizes payment solutions, supports various payment types, and emphasizes order cost transparency. Organizations must build their payment capabilities to achieve advanced functionalities, driving sales and enhancing their mobile payment strategy.

Key Focus Areas for Omni-channel Retail Success

This PPT slide outlines the evolving e-commerce landscape, highlighting the necessity of Omni-channel Retailing. Traditional single-channel approaches fail to meet modern customer expectations, as consumer behavior shifts towards online shopping. Key focus areas for enhancing company performance include Omni-channel Marketing, Mobile Payment, and Omni-channel Supply Chain, all essential for a seamless customer experience. Success in e-commerce relies on designing a comprehensive strategy that aligns with customer preferences across multiple channels. Companies must invest in planning and execution to integrate these channels effectively; failure to do so may lead to struggles with disjointed operations. This overview serves as a resource for organizations aiming to adapt to the changing retail environment and improve their e-commerce strategies.

Rising Importance of Search Engine Marketing in E-Commerce

Search Engine Marketing (SEM) is increasingly vital, as customers view search engines as the primary source for online purchases, outpacing comparison sites and personal recommendations. Data shows a significant rise in Search Engine Advertising (SEA) spending, from approximately $8,897 in 2011 to $22,500 in 2017, indicating a shift towards paid search strategies. In contrast, Search Engine Optimization (SEO) spending, while growing, comprises only about 10.5% of total SEA and SEO expenditures, highlighting a preference for immediate visibility through paid search. Marketing should be treated as an investment, with budget allocations focused on channels that enhance brand recognition and drive sales, crucial for optimizing marketing spend and effectively reaching target audiences.

Maximizing Online Marketing Channels for Global Reach

This PPT slide presents a framework for enhancing global market presence through an omni-channel marketing approach. Key components include Search Engine Optimization (SEO), Search Engine Advertising (SEA), Social Media Marketing, and Targeted Email Campaigns. SEO focuses on organic marketing to improve search engine rankings via effective keyword usage, while SEA employs paid tactics like Google shopping and pay-per-click advertising for immediate visibility. Social Media Marketing targets specific customer groups, with Facebook highlighted for its robust advertising platform. Targeted Email Campaigns offer a cost-effective method for engaging customers through personalization and high return on investment. The strategy emphasizes being present where customers engage, viewing marketing as an investment in brand awareness, and utilizing marketing automation to track customer behavior, integrating multiple channels to drive sales performance and enhance marketing efficiency.
