Mobile OmniChannel is the new normal in Retail today. However, many Retailers who have established brick n mortar Offline brands, fear ‘brand erosion’ in their attempts to add the new age social sales channels. Some often fear that the mature process for Offline retail around assortment, pricing, replenishment, inventory, etc. will not be able to support the new channels.
Customers have, however moved on. Today’s shoppers are always connected. They want to browse Online, research Offline if they please, chat with a sales associate in the store to add to their knowledge, touch and feel the merchandise in the store, pay from an e-wallet, get the purchase delivered home, picked up from a store/nearby location, reserved at a location of their choice and enjoy same or near same day delivery.
In effect, customers expect convenience in shopping and flexibility in order delivery like never before.
Marketplaces are already collaborating with Retailers to provide touchpoints to customers, where they can try before buying Online. They have also made many supply chain investments for B-B and B-C eCommerce fulfillment to get near same deliveries to their customers. Pure Online brands are collaborating with retailers to setup kiosks in shopping malls, airports, and express office stores in vantage locations.
In this scenario, OmniChannel is no more an option for Retailers. ”Omnipresence” is an immediate imperative. There are many low-hanging fruits for Retailers. Selling on a partner marketplace is one of them. Fulfilling orders of marketplaces or brands from the inventory retailers carry in stores is another. Smarter retailers will use the additional revenue from these initiatives to fund their

OmniChannel investments.
What does it take to provide an OmniChannel experience to your customers?
• All your business processes will need to get aligned.
• Investments in multichannel order management and fulfillment solutions could be the next step.
• Employee training at the store, warehouses and all customer touchpoints which are your areas of focus.
Once you get your OmniChannel strategy right, the next step will be data driven analysis and BI which will provide customer behavioral insights for optimization and personalized campaigns to tap into cross-selling opportunities and to build deeper loyalty.
Offline Retailers should transform their business into an OmniChannel format, turn data into action, convert loyal customers into brand advocates, and increase revenue and profits.
This issue talks about a number of such revenue opportunities in collaborations of sales channels and supply chains.
Enjoy Reading!
Yours Sincerely,
Deepak SinglaCo-Founder, VP-OmniChannel Retail SolutionsVinculum Group
We see an interesting trend with Brick n Mortar retailers trying to reach customers Online via Offline to Online transformation.
At the same time, in an attempt to establish touchpoints for customers to touch and feel their merchandise, Online brands and marketplaces are going Offline. These touchpoints can be in the form of collection centres, express retail stores and vantage locations, e.g. shopping malls.
Retailers are trying various means to court customers including:
a) Offering extra conveniences – Cash on Delivery, Store pickup, Reserve Orders etc. (Ref: Fig. 1 - Expectations of Today’s Customers)
b) Setting up kiosks in departmental stores, shopping malls. Collaborating with retailers by working in conjunction with them for trials in stores etc.
The O2O Continuum
03
This Offline - Online - Offline continuum throws up multiple collaboration opportunities for the entire ecosystem.
1. Sell on multiple marketplaces: Online brands and Brick n Mortar retailers can sell their items on a partner marketplace like Amazon, eBay, Flipkart etc. (Ref: Case Study of Proyog)
Many brands & SMEs have built a business model to grow domestically and internationally by selling on multiple marketplaces.
Figure 1 - Customers Expectations vs. Retailers Imperatives
Proyog is India’s leading yoga wear brand, and the world’s first true yoga wear made from breathable fabrics. The brand has a presence internationally, via tie-ups with leading marketplaces like Amazon, Jabong, Myntra, and its own web store.
The tie-up with Online retailers such as Myntra is set to give Proyog a major boost to their sales. In addition, they are also tying up with Offline retailers such as Shopper’s Stop to increase their customer reach.
Selling on multiple marketplaces has helped Proyog tap into the global yoga products market estimated to be close to USD 80 billion. Today, their maximum sales volumes are from cross-border commerce.

ARGOS 47 Oxford Rd, Berkshire, Reading RG1 7QG Available 12 mnts
2. Retailers as a fulfillment partner: As customers shop Online on marketplaces like Amazon, Ralali etc. - they see options for regular delivery or pick up from the store. In such cases, if the customer confirms store pick up, then the marketplace places order on the store which reserves the stock and keeps it ready for the customer. Additionally if the location of the
store is close to the customer, the order can be directly shipped to the customer to save on time and logistics cost. In both the scenarios the key to facilitating this is having real time view of the inventory in store and integrations of store systems with partner marketplaces like Amazon, ebay etc. to ensure they have this information.
Case 2 - Argos and eBay Partnership

3. Sell Cross-border: SMEs, Online brands, retailers and CPGs, all have the opportunity to not only reach customers domestically but also internationally, across multiple countries so long as the cost of the products along with shipping costs allows them to sell profitably. There are many shipping platforms today which facilitate item handling, customs management and local deliveries in multiple countries which allow you to sell on your web-stores or on marketplaces. Already, many SMEs use this model to sell extensively across continents. Cross border is poised to grow and the smart multi-channel retailer will exploit the opportunities to collaborate with 3PLs and marketplaces to grow their revenues.
What are the Technology enabled pillars to help create O2O?
Most Offline Retailers have made investments with best of breed ‘Offline Products’ in the following areas:
ERP: HQ system to manage the overall Retail Operations.
Store Systems: Point of sale and back office systems to manage the sales operations and inventory management at the store.
Warehouse Management Systems: To enable day to day activities in the warehouses typically for B-B.
A typical Online brand (eTailer) on the other hand makes investments in the following areas:
Order Management Systems: To manage and streamline orders across channels.
Warehouse Management Systems: For B-B and B-C eCommerce fulfillment.
While the respective building blocks are best of the breed in their domain, they are not geared to meet the functionality/flexibility required to support additional sales channels Online.
Online fashion eTailer, Yepme is a frontrunner in the Online to Offline strategy, with its foray into the Offline retail space.
Yepme’s OmniChannel retailing model will allow customers to touch and feel the quality of products via stores that act as physical experience zones.
They plan to fuel their growth by setting up over 1000 outlets in the next 4-5 years, increasing their customer reach to well over 550 districts in India.
Additionally, by leveraging partnerships with established marketplaces such as Amazon, Yepme has gone global.
Case 3 - YepMe goes Offline

Some of the key areas to address include:
• Real time view of Inventory in stores:
- Most IT products offer batch updates of inventory. However, a function rich store back office system updates store inventory information in real time. Further, its integrations with shelf management systems helps sales associates reserve items and keep orders ready for store pickup and store shipping.
- It is critical to fulfilling orders of marketplaces and brands/manufacturers from inventory in store.
• Integration to marketplaces:
- Ready integrations to multiple marketplaces domestically and internationally open up additional revenue opportunities from new channels for sales & fulfillment.
• B-B & B-C eCommerce Fulfillment:
- Working with 3PLs and last-mile fulfillment companies for B-B & B-C eCommerce may become key to ensuring cost effective deliveries to your 'Online' customers. This could mean separate warehouses, new partnerships forged with 3PLs and last mile fulfillment companies and the ability to handle dropship.
- Ready Integrations to multiple 3PLs & last-mile fulfillment companies from a technology perspective could be a key differentiator enabling cost effective same day or near same day deliveries.
• Consistent Product Information across Channels:
- Keeping product information consistent across channels is a key requirement especially given the increased number of suppliers and diverse requirements of marketplaces in terms of images, descriptions, etc. which increase cataloging complexities.
• Cloud POS:
- For Online brands (eTailers) setting up express stores or kiosks, investment in cloud POS could be a key investment to make, in order to easily support their small stores.

Search on Multiple channels
Today’s customers interact with a product at multiple touchpoints. They look for the flexibility to search and buy across multiple channels.
Order Management System (OMS)
The OMS will manage orders from different online channels and intelligently route the orders to stores/warehouses based on the inventory information. Integration of OMS with store systems will help customers effectively lookup the inventory ata channel, book/buy the order from another and collect it as per their convenience.
Store Systems
The store inventory management solution will integrate with current store POS systems & HQ systems to provide real time
inventory updates at each store to the OMS. With integration to marketplaces this will enable features
like store pickup and home delivery of orders through store inventory.
Warehouse Management System (WMS)
Apart from the functions at a warehouse, the WMS solution will update real-time inventory data to the OMS and enable direct shipment from warehouse/DC.
ERP (at Headquarters)
The systems will collect the master data and plan its distribution to systems like OMS, warehouse and store systems for business activities including assortment planning,purchase, manufacturing or service delivery.
Master Data Management (MDM)
The MDM system will share a master copy of high quality information of products, customers, and sellers across systems & applications to effectively manage catalogues and analyse data across channels.

Latest TrendsClick & Collect Lockers: Hassle-free Deliveries:Today’s consumers are savvy and want a tailored, personalized shopping experience. Express Delivery or delivery of goods anywhere and at any time, plays a vital role in fulfilling customers' expectations.
2/5th of Online shoppers said they stopped buying products from a website following a troublesome delivery.*
Provision of delivery lockers is a convenient way to allow customers to choose where they want their orders to be picked up from; providing them the flexibility of collecting parcels from a nearby location. It is convenient for the customers as they are also able to return items using these lockers.
Delivery Lockers are simple to use, secure and usually available 24/7. They can only be accessed using a code given to the customer while making a purchase Online and are placed in convenient
locations such as residential buildings, train stations, and grocery stores. So even if a customer is busy - working late night, on a vacation etc., neither the customer nor the Online retailer have to miss deliveries.
Several industry leaders are investing in this strategy, for example:
- Amazon is expanding its network of Amazon Locker service - which allows customers to select any locker location as their delivery address and receive orders at that location by entering their unique pick-up code.
- QikPod recently raised funding from inFoxconn, Accel Partners, Flipkart and Delivery for establishing a network of fully automated self-serve lockers in residential compounds, offices, cafeterias, retail malls and small & big stores to smoothen the last-mile delivery of eCommerce orders.

eTailers going hybrid:Several eTailers are now going for hybrid retailing, which is a mix of Online and Offline channels. The companies are opening kiosks/franchisee outlets and tying up with retailers.
This model not only helps eTailers increase their sales, it also eliminates worries about shipping,
logistics and warehousing costs and challenges. Happily Unmarried, a leading lifestyle products company based out of Delhi, is one such example. The eTailer launched kiosks in cities like Delhi, Gurgaon, Mumbai and Bangalore. These kiosks were setup in malls, airports, etc. – to empower customers to make their purchases as and when they want.

The bedrock of OmniChannel retail.
Buy Online, pickup in store has emerged as an important strategy to provide convenience to
customers. Customers prefer pickup from store as they do not have to wait at billing counters or pay shipping charges.

Guest PostNot everyone succeeds in creating a buzz online. With good
partner sellers, and focussed targeting, Voonik has made a
huge impact on both the supply & demand side.
From the time we started with the Marketplace model in
January 2015, Voonik has gone from strength to strength.
With more than 200 percent growth M-o-M, Voonik is now
the largest fashion portal for Women in India with more than
ten thousand merchants.
The online market is not bound within a particular street or a
small area. With 121 million current internet users in India and
eCommerce set to increase to 32 billion USD approx. by FY
2015-2016, it will be a piece of cake for the merchants to find
their gold fish if they find their right platform.
Retailers who have offline stores have a tremendous
opportunity to sell online and ensure that goods are shipped
directly from the store.
Voonik, as a personalised stylist for every women, provides a
convenient shopping experience by interacting with the
customer directly. It delivers the best shopping experience,
by understanding their preferences, helping them receive
suggestions, and ensuring continuous shopper engagement
and delight.
A new offer attracts many customers. However, longer term
engagement is achieved through good customer shopping
experience.

Kiran Vasireddy, Senior Vice-President and Head of Investments, Paytm
I think eCommerce for many years was an interesting trend, but it was on the side, largely, of what was happening in retail. Today we don’t even know what eCommerce means. They’ve just come together, the online and the offline. Now, every merchant, every retailer must have an OmniChannel strategy or they won’t survive.

Being able to accommodate OmniChannel and the ability to pick up in store, that is a real change to the way the backroom, the stockroom, and the store floor are going to take up space, interact with one another and so on.
