Omni-Channel Central Solutions

Omni-Channel Central Solutions Let Your Network Do the Selling Our goal is to get the right product to the right customer at the right price and the right time. We selected Manhattan to be that core foundational building block for our omnichannel strategy. Lilly Pulitzer Retail is undergoing a period of significant change and innovation, driven by digital commerce. At the same time, consumers demand seamless experiences across channels. This creates a significant operational challenge for retailers looking to compete more effectively. For instance, if you highlight a particular product line in your social channel, your stores need to be prepared for a spike in demand. If you pilot digital signage in your stores, you should ensure consistency in product availability within your online channels. Your call center should be able to see which stores offer sameday delivery. Implementing a technology infrastructure provides a foundation for omni-channel operations across your network. This requires centralized management of orders, visibility of inventory and customer transactions, and advanced business rules to govern the flow of selling and execution. Only Manhattan s Omni-Channel Central Solutions provide the infrastructure retailers need to build a highly adaptable, yet fully collaborative omni-channel organization.
