DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The "Unified Commerce Markets" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
First, there was multi-channel, then cross-channel, then the dreaded omni-channel to describe the progress of integrating retail functions. The problem with each of these terms is it doesn't really describe what retailers are really trying to do. Retailers are racing to get a single version of the truth regarding the customer and the order. Information that can utilized, tracked and accessed regardless of the channel. COVID-19 and the rise of digital journeys with local delivery of Click and Collect only hastened the need for unified commerce. Further, retailers need insight into things coming into their supply chain and integration on the final delivery to the customer (plus order feedback) regardless of how the customer gets the product. Unified Commerce is one step beyond omni-channel and includes the technology enabled retail functions (both inside and outside the company) to serve the consumer where, when and how they desire.
Over 86% of all software spending in retail is now focused on the concept of Unified Commerce. This study, part of the analyst's line of research, outlines the pillars of these buckets of spend, how big that market is and who the leaders are in North America and worldwide.
The goal of this report is to provide the retail community with the most detailed and complete picture imaginable of the retail technology landscape. This is done to assist retailers in vendor selection and to help the industry understand the trends, drivers and barriers that are fundamentally transforming the industry.
Who are the real leaders? What are the real software rankings? Who is leading in the Retail SaaS market? Which vendors are leading in sales, innovation, market reach and can implement a complete Unified Commerce approach? It's all here.
Retailers are encouraged to use these charts in discussions with their vendor partners. It is the intent that they provide unique insights into vendor strategy and provide thought-provoking questions as we all move through and prosper in the Era of Intentional Innovation.
