With large businesses competing in almost every market space, nearly all retailers are experiencing extremely intense competition. Increasingly, retailers are seeing the key to greater competitiveness is to shift from a product-centric approach to a customer-centric approach. Such a shift means that the retail industry must meet the challenge of incorporating customer demand into the product planning and replenishment processes. A seamless customer experience can both lower organizational operating costs and improve customer retention. This means that retailers need to:
Understand customer buying behaviors and preferences. Effectively communicate those needs with suppliers and manufacturers during product development. Quickly respond to changing market conditions during the sales and distribution phase.
The benefits of a rapid response to changing market conditions and customer demand are clear: increased customer satisfaction, decreased costs, and the reduction of inventory overstock. Getting there, however, begins with deploying a supporting technological framework that can integrate and automate information transfer across both back-end systems and the supply chain.
Business Process Management (BPM) solutions integrate across legacy systems and trading partners, as well as provide visibility into retail processes, helping organizations to obtain comprehensive real-time business intelligence. The best BPM software helps business users achieve these goals using tools that are intuitive and easy- to- use, and yet are powerful enough to achieve flexible and robust business solutions. |
