Question 1

POS 软件的用途是什么？

Accepted Answer

A POS system is a set of software packages, either cloud-based or accompanying compatible hardware packages, that is used to organize and operate your retail business. The software links your customer service, inventory, marketplaces, accounting, payroll and other departmental functions within one program, which helps centralize your administrative tasks. Using a POS is tremendously time-saving and efficient compared with the alternative of using separate software to manage each area.

It can also improve the customer experience with efficient promotion planning, reduce waste with automated inventory reconciliation and expiration and ordering alerts, and prevent theft.

Question 19

什么是统一商务？

Accepted Answer

Unified commerce is a strategy that centralizes the data you've collected about customers and products on a single platform. These platforms can interconnect systems of e-commerce, mobile commerce, customer relationship management, order management systems, omnichannel order fulfilment, analytics and more to help provide insights into how to improve the customer experience. Bearing in mind that the goal of unified commerce is to promote personalized shopping experiences that meet consumer expectations, it is necessary to align all the sales channels to offer the same information that the customer expects, ensure there is a constant flow of information being shared, and reduce data silos on a given channel. When leveraged in this way, you might see benefits such as:

Viewing and updating stock in real-time.
Delivering quick and easy experiences and increasing customer satisfaction, as having an enhanced point-of-sale system can provide valuable data and greater ease in automatic payments at the checkout.
Reducing time spent on integrations since you no longer have various channels across multiple platforms.
Simplifying data analysis, performance and KPIs.

Question 20

统一商务与更常见的全渠道战略有何不同？

Accepted Answer

The key difference between unified commerce solutions and omnichannel retail solutions is that unified commerce unifies, orchestrates, and provides seamless experiences across channels. Whereas, the main goal of omni-channel retail is to give customers an overall experience that gives them an accurate view of all products across all platforms.

Systems that support online shopping and those that aid offline businesses are sometimes meant to work in silos as they are not designed to communicate with the other types of systems. As a result, retailers with omni-channel ambitions are forced to tie together systems that often are not designed for connectivity, which is reflected in poor API connectivity or the use of dated forms of file exchanges. By connecting data across channels in real-time through unified commerce technology, you are giving customers a single fluid experience whether they are purchasing online or offline.

Question 21

如何判断统一商务是否适合您的零售业务？

Accepted Answer

Any retailer who is active online, offline, and on social media can benefit from and create value by simplifying their IT landscape. The organization must have a natural willingness to modify its structure and processes. When you sell through marketplaces, you might want to be able to serve customers coming directly to your stores with a return. By having all the customer data in one place, you can start thinking about offering unified commerce services.

Question 22

零售商应如何启动统一商务战略？

Accepted Answer

Retailers will need to be ready for a unified commerce world. The first step should include a strategy to prepare your retail business for a world where omnichannel, supply chain integration, and customer service optimization are expected. A high-quality shopping experience is no longer enough—consumers want an engaging experience that offers them value, both in terms of pricing as well as functionality. Once they've gotten used to those benefits from other companies, they expect those same things from you.

Question 23

如何成功实施统一商务战略？

Accepted Answer

Chief among the many misconceptions about a successful unified commerce strategy is that more features mean greater success. This isn’t true. What is true is that each feature needs to be part of a cohesive, well-executed plan to drive engagement, conversion, and loyalty across channels. Though they may vary widely in size and complexity, all successful unified commerce strategies share one common set of elements:

A desire to serve customers in a better manner at every stage of their journey.
A clear understanding of where both customers and sales happen in your industry.
The ability to see these two different things at once.
An understanding that it's possible and also profitable to own every stage of your customer's path to purchase.
An awareness that technology can help you accomplish all these things.
And finally, an understanding that properly implementing these concepts requires careful planning.

Question 24

如何找到合适的合作伙伴来实现这一目标？

Accepted Answer

Choosing the right technology partner is a crucial step in launching a new unified commerce solution. Not only will you need to make sure you’re looking at vendors with proven scalability, but also make sure they can accommodate all of your unique needs and demands as well. Don’t forget to include details about how your company works from the top down, including resolving customer service issues. After doing some research into your local market, here are two things you should keep in mind when choosing a partner: integration strategy and functionality capabilities.

First, find out if these providers have experience working with your specific vertical or industry. Do they have examples of companies that look like yours on their client list? Even more important is asking if it’s possible for them to integrate with what you already use. Take a long hard look at what business systems your retail business already uses and make sure your potential vendor has had successful integrations with similar systems in other clients.
