An integrated store Introducing: Accenture Integrated Store
Addressing three major digital physical trends Looks like just an online store placed into a shop Full item range In-store Kiosk Often not addressing specific customer context in store Wrong-end thinking mostly driven by ecommerce Customers don t come to store to search online In-store advertisement Focus on one or two specific products They can advertise daily offers and change the content e.g. based on weather conditions Good to attract and inform customers Focused on product presentation Missing link to sales capability, hence not using potential Sales staff enablement Digital tools to improve sales staff capabilities Provides suggestions and additional information Save the sale Often missing customer analytics Not exploiting full potential yet
Bridging the gap between online and physical retail, combining the benefits of both worlds How Integrated Store works: Allows retailers to offer products from existing online shops directly in the store and to adjust assortment and presentation to contextual shopper situations The solution supports all sales formats: e.g. own stores, wholesale, franchise The consumer can choose between delivery to home or pick-up in store. The order will be paid directly in the store and fulfilled through the online shop.

As ever it s the business that makes the difference for success Put the customer first Shopping should be as easy as putting an item into the basket and not require lengthy browsing Stimulate the consumer in the right shopping context Allow traditional payment at the till Sell the right things Think product first: Your online bestseller might not be your bestsellers in the store Avoid low margin, high handling cost items to be delivery to the store Sell fast Use targeted shopper marketing to make consumer aware of the new buying option Guide them through the process once and provide an incentive (e.g. free chocolate delivered to their home once the completed the ordering process)
The future Take the Uber Challenge
