resource, the project has tendency to restart from scratch• Rely on in house expertise on

best practices such as security and scalability

as your budget and resources allow• Accommodate any

requirements as you resources allowed

pro cons

is the best for you• Not bound by your current

• The question is can we break the barrier between offline team and online team?

Buy offline, delivery to home

• Buy Online Pick up In Store (BOPIS)• 65% shoppers purchase additional items in

store• 30% of shoppers do it at least once

Buy online pickup in store

However …• The most difficult to implement it right• 60% shoppers say they experience fail in

BOPIS• It is not easy to re-tool current system to do

this• Especially in the area order management and

supply chain• Requires changes in process flow

RIS/COGNIZANT SHOPPER EXPERIENCE STUDY

• Your sales associate need the right tool to help the customers

• They need access to a good product information• They need to know the customer history• They need a way to shorten the barier to close the

deals

Empower your sales associates

productsand how to get it

on their time, at their place

and at their perceived-value price
