Read the Q&A with Kyndryl retail expert, Kayla Broussard.
QHow does a retailer build the frictionless, connected, omnichannel experience its customers expect?
AThe one common denominator across all touchpoints is the customers. Retailers at the forefront of this idea are investing in four key areas:
- Merge your physical and digital space into a connected phygital experience
- Update your storefront to accommodate current shopping behaviors
- Build a strategy on a foundation of good data
- Elevate the employee experience by empowering your employees to act in the customer’s best interest
QWhat are some ways that retailers can modernize their storefronts?
A Focus on improving data practices and empowering associates from the warehouse to the storefront with access to data from across their enterprise.
Embracing technology is essential, as is investing in the infrastructural and operational transformation that helps you create a seamless omnichannel customer experience.
