Why embracing Unified Commerce is essential for retail success in a post-COVID-19 world

Where next for Australian and New Zealand retailers? There have been a lot of dire predictions for retail over this last year, but are these all true?

The uncertainty is understandable. Retail has faced an onslaught of challenges over the last few years, and Covid-19 will continue to have a significant impact.

But there is real opportunity for Australian and New Zealand retailers to transform.

Retailers who survive and thrive beyond this time will be those who are prepared to innovate, have an investment mindset, and commit to creating a consistent experience across all their channels for their customers. Out of necessity, more customers have turned to e-commerce to meet their needs than ever before. It will only increase consumer expectations that e-commerce and bricks and mortar are connected once the world returns to a degree of normality.

This is why embracing unified commerce is something every retailer in the world should be doing right now. Because those who do will be the ones who hit the ground running in a post-COVID-19 world.

And future-facing retailers have the power to ensure the recovery after COVID-19 is V-shaped with no W-shaped or L-shaped recession. If no one spends, everyone suffers. In order to restore confidence for businesses and consumers, people need to start spending again and retailers need to be the catalyst that sparks this.

Before we explain how unified commerce can help retailers survive and thrive, it’s important to understand the challenges outside of COVID-19 facing retailers.
