Delivering the Goods:Revolutionizing the Customer Experience
Chief Operating Officer
Michael Harvey
Retailers will be able to interact with customers through countless channels— websites, physical stores, kiosks, direct mail and catalogs, call centers, social media, mobile devices, gaming consoles, televisions, networked appliances, home services, and more. Unless conventional merchants adopt an entirely new perspective—one that allows them to integrate disparate channels into a single seamless omni-channel experience.— Harvard Business Review, 2011

Whirlwind Behind the Scenes Tour Of Unified Commerce
Building the Unified Customer Experience
The Unified Customer ExperienceNeeds a Unified Commerce Platform
The Unified CustomerExpects a Unified Experience
Shopping journey today is fragmented and complex
Unified commerce goes beyond omnichannel, putting the customer experience first, breaking down the walls between internal channel silos and leveraging a single commerce platform. The idea of a single, centralized, real-time platform for all customer engagement points is a key tenet of unified commerce. A unified commerce platform is not simply the future in-store or web platform, but combines POS, mobile, web, call center, and clientelling into one single integrated platform. It has become the new retail imperative. Source: BRP, “Unified Commerce is the Goal, “Faux” Omni-channel is the Reality,” March, 2016
