Indeed, integrating Retail Management Hero (RMH) with a platform of eCommerce has become a game-changer for retailers. It connects the two currently un-connected streams of in-store and online sales of the same business by providing a unified view of its operations, customers, and inventory. Let's see how this has been impactful:
Centralized Inventory Management
Integrating RMH with eCommerce ensures inventory is in sync between physical and online channels so there's no situation of over-selling or under-stocking. Stocks can be monitored in real-time, thus making the purchase or replenishment of stock appropriate.
Unified Customer Experience
A single system allows for uniform customer experience both online and in-store. For example, they can order online and return in-store; they can also check availability from multiple locations before buying. Additionally, loyalty points, rewards, and other purchase histories can be followed through the different channels to help retention and engagement of customers.
Better Operations
Incorporating RMH with eCommerce reduces inefficiencies and human errors that are associated with managing separate systems for brick-and-mortar and eCommerce. Order fulfillment, pricing updates, promotions, and customer management can be automated processes that happen through integration. It streamlines operations, reduces manual intervention, and increases productivity.
Better Data Insights
It will provide an integrated view of customer behavior, sales trends, and performance. It will allow retailers to analyze data from both the physical and digital channels while gaining deeper insights into such analysis that can help refine marketing strategies, improve demand forecasting, and better product offerings.
Seamless Omnichannel Experiences
Omnichannel retailing is the new norm, and RMH through eCommerce provides an essential feature that makes the above possible single channel-type stores from a retailer's box. Features like "click and collect," endless aisle (ability to order out-of-stock items online), and ship-from-store can be catered to.
Scalability
As its business grows, a company would require management, to integrate the system that keeps both physical and digital channels in place. RMH's integration with eCommerce allows retailers to scale up their operations without requiring the creation of another platform, thereby minimizing costs and complexity.
Payment and Tax Management
With integration, there is a unified system through which online payments and in-store payments are processed, thereby streamlining financial reconciliation. Also, tax calculations for several regions regarding both online sales and offline sales can be automated and, therefore be correct and compliant.
