Description

Omnichannel - Thematic Intelligence


Summary

A successful omnichannel proposition integrates a retailer’s multiple sales channels to provide shoppers with a smooth and integrated shopping experience. Omnichannel has become key to how retailers operate, with many consumers accustomed to shopping online but also desiring the experiences created in stores.

Key Highlights

In Western countries where the online channel is mature and retailers are facing high cost pressures, we have started to enter a post-omnichannel era, as retailers are less willing to subsidize their online operations.

Adopting an omnichannel approach has changed how retailers operate and interact with consumers, and created numerous benefits, including consumers being more satisfied with the consistent shopping experience as they interact with retailers across several channels and touchpoints.

Retailers are starting to implement digital apps that cross over into shoppers’ physical journey to gain better data on customers, and link online and physical consumer behavior. This includes tracking of store stock, instore navigation, and most importantly paying instore by app.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
