Connected Stores & Hybrid Commerce Experience
Unify digital and in-store experiences
Enable connected stores and hybrid commerce by integrating store operations with digital channels for seamless customer journeys. We connect real-time inventory, order management, clienteling, and fulfillment options such as BOPIS and ship-from-store
Physical and Digital Commerce Experiences Are Converging
Customer journeys increasingly span physical and digital touchpoints, blurring the line between online and in-store commerce. Shoppers expect consistent pricing, product availability, personalization, and service regardless of channel, while store teams require real-time access to customer and inventory data. Traditional store systems, designed for isolated point-of-sale operations, struggle to support these expectations.
Many organizations operate stores as disconnected environments with limited integration into digital commerce platforms. Store associates lack visibility into online orders, customer history, and fulfillment options, creating friction and missed sales opportunities. As omnichannel demand grows, these gaps reduce conversion, slow fulfillment, and weaken the in-store experience.
Stores have therefore evolved into experience-driven commerce nodes.
Organizations must enable connected store and hybrid commerce experiences that unify digital platforms, in-store technologies, and operational data to deliver seamless customer journeys and improve performance across channels.
Physical Stores Are Becoming Digitally Enabled Experience Hubs
Brick-and-mortar stores are evolving from transactional spaces into digitally enabled experience centers. Customers expect the same personalization, inventory visibility, and convenience they receive online. This trend is driving integration of digital capabilities directly into in-store experiences.
Online and Offline Journeys Are Converging
Customers increasingly move seamlessly between digital and physical touchpoints during the buying journey. Disconnected systems create friction and inconsistent experiences. This trend emphasizes the need for unified commerce platforms that support continuous, cross-channel engagement.
Store Associates Are Becoming Digital Experience Enablers
Store staff are expected to access customer, product, and inventory data in real time. Traditional POS-centric tools limit their effectiveness. This trend is pushing adoption of mobile, connected technologies that empower associates to deliver personalized service.
Store Performance Is Being Measured Beyond Transactions
Retailers are expanding performance metrics to include engagement, fulfillment, and experience quality. Foot traffic alone no longer defines success. This trend reflects a broader shift toward experience-driven store optimization supported by digital insight.
Disconnected Journeys Across Physical and Digital Stores
Inaccurate Local Store Inventory Visibility
Disconnected systems lead to customers seeing items as "available" online that are actually out of stock in the physical store, causing severe frustration and "wasted trips" that destroy brand loyalty immediately.
Ghost inventory leads to failed BOPIS orders and results in a permanent loss of local customer trust.
High Operational Friction For BOPIS Pickup
Without a streamlined, automated pickup process, customers are forced to wait in long lines or deal with confused staff, negating the primary "speed and convenience" benefit of buying online for in-store collection.
Poor pickup experiences trigger high order cancellation rates and significantly reduce repeat store visits.
Lack Of Personalization In Physical Stores
Failing to recognize a high-value digital customer when they walk into a store prevents associates from providing tailored service or relevant upsells based on the shopper's recent online browsing and purchase history.
Anonymous in-store visits prevent high-value cross-selling and result in lower average transaction values.
Fragmented Data Between Digital And Store
Siloed data prevents a unified view of the customer, making it impossible to attribute digital marketing efforts to physical store sales or provide a consistent loyalty program experience across all shopping channels.
Data silos lead to inaccurate marketing ROI analysis and result in a disjointed and confusing loyalty journey.
Inefficient In Store Digital Kiosk Tools
Static or poorly integrated in-store kiosks often fail to provide real-time information or "endless aisle" capabilities, frustrating customers who expect the same search power in-store as they have on their mobile devices.
Non-functional kiosks waste retail floor space and lead to missed sales for items not currently on the shelf.
Slow Fulfillment Of Ship From Store Orders
Utilizing physical stores as mini-warehouses without dedicated fulfillment software leads to picking errors and slow shipping times, which drains store staff resources and increases the total cost of last-mile delivery.
Inefficient store fulfillment increases labor costs and results in a slower response to local market demand.
