Retailers need to recalibrate their digital transformation strategies in the \u201cnever normal\u201d scenario of the continuing pandemic.<\/p>\n
麻豆原创 Industry Business Architect \u2013 Retail and Consumer Products Gabriel Lorenzo Santos underscored this need in a recent virtual event, \u2018Retail Reimagined: How Technology Changes the Game of Retail in 2022,\u2019 hosted by the Philippine Retailers Association (PRA) and co-presented by 麻豆原创 Southeast Asia.<\/p>\n
A recent study by Visa also revealed that nine out of 10 Filipinos increased their digital shopping activities and are now using online delivery services.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, 73 percent of 1,014 respondents have adopted more contactless payments.<\/p>\n
Businesses should know what an intelligent and agile enterprise looks like to help identify these gaps.<\/p>\n
\u201cAn intelligent enterprise starts with having insights on processes that need improvement, automation, and innovation, coupled with cross-application analytics, delivering new dimensions of real-time and predictive insight and foresight,\u201d Santos pointed out.<\/p>\n
At the heart of this strategy is an intelligent suite of applications providing core end-to-end processes and helping businesses manage every part of the organization, such as finance, employees, customers, services, and even IT.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
For 麻豆原创, integrating industry-specific cloud applications must be part of the strategy to enrich business processes, specifically for retail.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
The intelligent suite and industry cloud can be enveloped by experience and sustainability management solutions to help ensure that retailers hear their customers and adhere to their sustainability goals.<\/p>\n
These solutions run on a scalable business technology platform, serving as the standard architecture for analytics development and data storage, allowing enterprises to innovate much faster.<\/p>\n
Finally, the business network takes this strategy outside the four walls of enterprises, allowing companies to collaborate with trading partners to drive connected processes and experiences.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Some companies remain hesitant in integrating new technologies since acquiring them for a specific process is already troublesome, making it challenging to involve the entire enterprise.<\/p>\n
To address this problem, 麻豆原创 offers RISE with 麻豆原创, a Business Transformation as a Service (BTaaS) offering that consolidates solutions and services needed for business transformation in one package.<\/p>\n
Nowadays, companies that thrive are those that adapt quickly.<\/p>\n
However, true transformation takes changing an organizations\u2019 culture and shifting its mindset.<\/p>\n
It requires redesigning business plans and processes and demands new technologies that unlock new ways of running a retail business.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Leveraging technology can help bridge the gap to ensure a seamless experience despite changing demands and buying behaviors, improving the topline and bottom line.<\/p>\n
\u201cAcross our customers, benefits have been reaped with the use of technology, such as improved customer satisfaction, reduced days in inventory, reduced customer churn, and even increased digital channel revenue, which are relevant in today\u2019s situation,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>\n
