4 About Sophelle Focus Reports Consumer Considerations Omnichannel Considerations Fulfillment Considerations Enterprise Considerations Marketing Considerations IT Considerations The Ideal OMS Vendor Offerings About the Authors Get In Touch In this Focus Report we will identify key considerations in regards to consumer expectations, omnichannel operations, fulfillment processes as well enterprise, marketing and IT and viewpoints. 4

5 67% of consumers start shopping on one device and complete the purchase on another. - COMSORE 82% Percentage of consumers who would complete their purchase if they could return the item to a store. - UPS For online shoppers the ease of returns is above average in importance. - UPS CONSUMER CONSIDERATIONS Increasingly, customers expect a consistent experience across all touch points: online, mobile, in-store, kiosk, and catalog. In the past, a perfectly executed online order has meant that the right items are delivered on time to the proper address. The bar is rising. Today s consumers expect more. They expect confirmation that their order was processed, shipped, and delivered. They want to be able to pick up their orders at a store. They want to place one order with multiple recipients. They demand live order status updates throughout the process. Often they want same-day delivery. They expect immediate notification if any delays or issues arise. And they ll continue to want more as clever, aggressive competition increases. Consumers increased expectations are challenging ecommerce and order management solutions to provide greater functionality and integration. Visibility is needed though web and mobile sites, contact center, and home office, as well as through third-party solutions. 5

6 OMNICHANNEL CONSIDERATIONS Omnichannel strategies, nearly ubiquitous among leading retailers, bring entirely new sets of requirements to order management systems. Effective omnichannel strategies require coordinated operations, integrated systems, and accessible enterprise data sources. The same requirements are made of order management systems. Buy-online/return-in-store was merely an early step. Though wrought with challenges, the fulfilment of online orders from brick and-mortar locations offers successful implementers great potential for reduced inventory. To support the rapid rate of change and new operational models, OMS solutions with robust data integration layers. 6

7 FULFILLMENT CONSIDERATIONS Leading fulfillment strategies increase system requirements. Same-day delivery requires real-time data access. Drop-ship relationships with third-party vendors require real-time data integration. Co-branded websites with multi-retailer product assortments require more complex backend data integration. Global shipping requires richer data sets, multi-currency/multi-language support, and additional integrations for fulfilment partners. Web and mobile site user visibility requires scalable, efficient processes. ORDER MANAGEMENT BENEFITS Help organizations fulfil orders faster Help lower shipping costs Eliminate manual re-entry Provide ecommerce customer with accurate shipping rates Allow customer to track order shipping and delivery status 7

8 ENTERPRISE CONSIDERATIONS For retail executives, timely, accurate reports are needed to provide actionable insights, to identify opportunities and challenges in the areas of planning, pricing, forecasting, merchandising, supply chain management and marketing. Further, this data must be presented in summarized reports yet allow for drilldown, as needed, to pinpoint issues. MARKETING CONSIDERATIONS Customers expect a unified and consistent brand proposition online and off. Channel-specific, siloed marketing organizations are finding success difficult without consistent, accurate and real-time customer data. A mature OMS allows marketing efforts to pivot based on real-time metrics of all touch points and quickly take advantage of trends oraddress challenges revealed by OMS-generated data. 8

9 A sophisticated OMS can help alleviate many of the typical IT headaches associated with omnichannel commerce, including mobile. These include: Gracefully accepts order from all retail channels Accepts and normalizes stock levels from multiple geographically dispersed fulfilment centers Decreases resources required to create actionable reports for multiple dispersed functional groups Reduces IT burden of enforcing business workflows by allowing for configuration of acceptable business processes Requires minimal IT investment to integrate with complementary technology 9

10 IT CONSIDERATIONS OMS solutions are offered in a variety of technical and business models licensed, on-premise installations. Others are SaaS and hosted on the cloud. Some companies offer both options. Some solutions are adept at consolidating online and mobile orders but may require 3rd party extensions for POS order integration. Others have strong order management capabilities but are challenged when tasked with creating a landed cost report. A handful of OMS solutions have robust analytics while their competitors may offer reporting through a 3rd party integration. Finally, some OMS solutions now have an ecommerce presentation layer built upon the core OMS technology. For these solutions retailers can choose to migrate their site to the OMS ecommerce platform or integrate with the OMS and keep the site on an entirely separate ecommerce platform. OMS solutions are ideal for businesses with fluctuating order volume from multiple sources. 10
