This means BIG CHANGES to the industry! So, what are some of the biggest challenges and opportunities retail is facing? I had a great conversation with retail expert and President of IHL Services, Greg Buzek, to find out.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"youtube-wrap\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video\" title=\"Microsoft + Partners Make More Possible: Retail\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/l56dEp32hyA?feature=oembed&#038;rel=0\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<h3>Omnichannel to unified commerce model<\/h3>\n<p>When looking at the state of the industry, we both agreed that one of the major retail trends of 2024 is unified commerce. Right now, many organizations run multichannel operations, meaning customers can access a company both in person and online. This level of access can expand a company\u2019s reach to a wider audience but often leaves data siloed and customer experiences disconnected. Luckily, organizations have the tools to improve this system and shift from multichannel operations to unified commerce.<\/p>\n<p>In essence, this approach connects the silos formed in a multichannel method, providing businesses with a single, overarching view of their operational data and offering a seamless, consistent experience to both employees and customers. Take Lucky Brand as an example, working with <a href=\"https:\/\/amperity.com\/resources\/case-study-lucky-brand-uses-ai-to-build-a-game-changing-customer-360\">Amperity<\/a> on Microsoft Azure, which utilized this approach to unlock the power of its data. Using Amperity, Lucky Brand uncovered valuable data hidden within 12.7 million records, allowing them to attribute $192 million in lifetime value to 1.5 million previously unknown customers!<\/p>\n<p>The impact of this sort of transition can often be felt across an organization. Simpson Strong-Tie, with the help of Microsoft partner <a href=\"https:\/\/www.optimizely.com\/insights\/simpson-strong-tie\/\">Optimizely<\/a>, has seen significant benefits from unifying its data for B2B e-commerce. This solution powering sales to big box retailers brought with it a monthly average of $100,000 in sales and an 18% increase in unit sales.<\/p>\n<p>Not only does this approach transform operations end-to-end\u2014from supply chain to fulfillment to the physical storefront\u2014but it also merges the shopping experience for customers across all platforms. It\u2019s why <a href=\"https:\/\/customers.microsoft.com\/en-us\/story\/1703439817447066120-dicks-sporting-goods-azure-arc-aks-retailers-usa\">DICK\u2019S Sporting Goods<\/a> worked with Microsoft to develop a more consistent experience between online shopping and its 850 physical storefronts. Whether a user is ordering from an online shop or checking out in person, unified commerce ensures a consolidated, frictionless transaction. As Greg succinctly put it: \u201cIt&#8217;s not just e-commerce, it&#8217;s just commerce.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Our partners and customers are turning to unified commerce to empower their employees, delight customers, and prepare for future growth! <\/strong><\/p>\n<h3>Generative AI as part of digital transformation to unified commerce<\/h3>\n<p>One of the major technological developments on many retailers\u2019 minds? Generative AI. These solutions can transform retailers from end-to-end, offering everything from increased efficiency to enhanced personalization and operational agility.<\/p>\n<p>When you consider what retailers have been facing the last several years\u2014a pandemic, supply chain delays, and ongoing political unrest across the globe\u2014it\u2019s no surprise that a tool like AI would make it into the toolbox of any organization looking to adapt to whatever 2024 (and beyond) throws at them!<\/p>\n<p>One notable (and previously mentioned) area ripe for AI integration is unified commerce. Since unified commerce is about gathering data in one place for easy access, AI capabilities help exponentially enhance those data sets. You\u2019re basically giving an AI solution access to an \u201call-you-can-eat\u201d array of data, which provides improved insights across operations.<\/p>\n<p>When considering how to leverage AI, our customers often find it easiest to start with small deployments and thoughtful experimentation, which can go far in the long run. I love Greg\u2019s advice: \u201cWhen you think through it, you want to start with the best data. You want to start where you can achieve the best bang for your buck.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As for AI in action, you better BET<strong> our partners and customers have been jumping at the chance to <\/strong>harness this phenomenal technology! Recently, <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.microsoft.com\/blog\/2024\/01\/09\/walmart-unveils-new-generative-ai-powered-capabilities-for-shoppers-and-associates\/\">Walmart<\/a> teamed up with Microsoft to integrate generative AI into its search function, helping consumers reduce the time they spend every week managing shopping and general household planning. Meanwhile, the largest pizza company in the world, <a href=\"https:\/\/ir.dominos.com\/news-releases\/news-release-details\/dominosr-and-microsoft-cook-ai-driven-innovation-alliance\">Dominos<\/a>, is harnessing solutions like Microsoft Azure OpenAI Service to modernize storefronts, empowering employees and customers alike!<\/p>\n<p>As technology rapidly evolves, I\u2019m sure we\u2019ll see even more <strong>incredible examples of digital transformation<\/strong> at work in the future.<\/p>\n<h3>Making More Possible<\/h3>\n<p>Technology is transforming our industry landscape, and customers look to Microsoft and our partners for guidance. I\u2019m proud of the <strong>collaboration with our partners to empower clients<\/strong> with AI and cloud solutions to <strong>meet their needs across the entire retail process<\/strong>.
