How to bridge the gap for online and offline retailing


Join the upcoming webinar to find out why the future of retail depends on a winning omni-channel retail strategy.

AT the height of the Covid-19 pandemic, many businesses faced the painful possibility of pulling the plug on their operations.

Those who prioritised brick-and-mortar stores over ecommerce – only maintaining it as an extended sales channel – saw a pandemic-accelerated shift in customer behaviour.

That said, prioritising focus towards ecommerce along with omni-channel strategies – a multichannel approach to sales – took importance.

For instance, businesses could get creative with online tools such as virtual, 360-degree lookbooks, as well as made-to-order and custom-made services.

A number of fashion brands and retailers have already been empowered by technology solutions to provide customers with seamless online and offline shopping experiences, such as Uniqlo, Guess, The Gap, Louis Vuitton etc. who trusted Centric Software’s product lifecycle management (PLM).

“The system also represents an important backbone which makes it possible for us to bring new business scenarios to market,” said Liu Ming.

Since 2014, a clothing company Bestseller Fashion Group China (BFGC) kept up with market trends in the digital space with more than 8,000 physical stores in China and the support of Centric’s PLM, which allowed up to 10,000 users to geographically distribute data in real time across the globe.

“The system also represents an important backbone which makes it possible for us to bring new business scenarios to market and accommodate a more seamless experience between online and offline for our consumers,” said BFGC project owner executive assistant to chief executive officer Liu Ming in an interview with Centric Software.

Another pandemic-related shift involves the workforce, which shed light on the need to work remotely with efficiency through digital collaboration solutions that not only enable business continuity but also hold the key to success.

Some world’s biggest retailers reduce admin cost by 15% - 20%, experiencing transformational change across the entire business such as Woolworths, Auchan Retail and Big Lots among others by moving collaboration onto a single PLM platform.
