With the 2019 holiday spending season just around the corner, now is the time for omnichannel merchants to get their product and customer data in order. There are five ways that omnichannel retailers can optimize their data for success over the long-term. Infoverity can help to assess a retailer’s progress in these areas and prioritize the most critical elements to maximize customer engagement in the 2019 holiday season and beyond.
- Identify the leading causes for potential downtime. Time is money, and potential downtime can result in lost sales. According to Gartner, the average cost of IT downtime is $5,600 per minute. Because there are so many differences in how businesses operate, downtime, at the low end, can be as much as $140,000 per hour, $300,000 per hour on average, and as much as $540,000 per hour at the higher end.
- Recognize the pivotal role of Master Data Management (MDM) in serving customers and streamlining behind-the-scenes eCommerce operations. This data becomes even more important in an omnichannel setting, helping retailers to keep track of key elements across all channels simultaneously.
- Ensure that product data is clean, accurate and centralized. This provides a single, real-time view of inventory data across sales channels.
- Know your customers. Real-time, accurate customer master data provides real-time insight into customer orders, prior purchases and preferences providing customers with the shopping experience they desire across sales channels.
- Identify the right tools and technologies. Ensure that technologies communicate with one another to provide the retailer with accurate data and greater visibility into operations.
