2 2 in Russian retail in Russian retail What is omni? is a customer approach providing for a seamless customer experience, an opportunity to easily switch between the s with no loss in quality and for the maximization of customer utility. And enhanced customer satisfaction, in its turn, rises the customer lifetime value. It is worth noting that omni is not just a strategic call-toaction but rather an ideology underlying the operating model configuration. Besides, any attempt to develop omni at the customer level with the internal environment left unchanged will result in cost rising and margin reduction. We consider an operating model in terms of internal business processes, organizational structure, a set of KPIs, and, last but not least, IT systems. I want us to stop talking about digital and physical retail as if they re two separate things. The customer doesn t think of it that way, and we can t either. CEO Walmart Doug McMillon* Why omni? Development and of an omni strategy may enable additional 6,% revenues. 4 69% of customers visiting an offline store to pick up their online order make additional shopping in case of active sales 2.

The results of our analysis will help companies compare to their key competitors and form an understanding of the customer experience elements that need further development. Easiness of order placement * Data Insight, datainsight.ru/top00/ Convenience of delivery and use of information elements % companies satisfying the criterion Criteria-sorted customer feedback Key challenges during omni elements % companies satisfying the criterion Criteria-sorted customer feedback Key challenges during omni Easiness of order placement 2 Information on goods in stock at offline stores is available when customers use the application or website An endless aisle in offline stores (opportunity to conveniently purchase online in an offline store, use of POS terminals) 7% % Information on goods in stock is available via all sales s Information on goods in stock can be obtained via a call center Information on goods in stock is unavailable 8% 7% 70% There is a POS terminal offline No POS terminal offline Ordered a toy for my child online, with the order pickup at this very store. Got a delivery confirmation for tomorrow. When in the store next day, I was told my order had been c anceled as the product was out of stock. I was unable to check online whether the product was in stock at the moment... I was asked to arrange my order via the POS terminal. Well, the shop assistant who was dealing with me did not have the slightest idea how to operate a POS terminal and turned for help to her colleague. For 5 minutes the two of them were unsuccessfully looking for a pair of shoes and turned for help to two more colleagues of theirs. Seemingly, the order was generated [via the POS terminal]. A MONTH passed since, but no letter, no call, no delivery. Online and offline stores use different systems for stock-on-hand accounting purposes. Use of different systems results in regular problems with info synchronization online and stock-in-hand offline. POS terminal sales are not considered as a standalone sales, i.e. are not singled out within the assortment matrix or taken into account in the course of pricing and promotion planning. Lack of inter in the company. Employee scripts do not provide for answers to questions on other sales s. Convenience of delivery 4 5 Irrespective of a sales, the delivery time is the same Opportunity to order online and pick up offline 5% Irrespective of sales s, logistics provide for the same delivery time Various delivery timing, depending on sales s 9% 46% 49% 5% Goods can be reserved and picked up the same day Goods can be reserved. Home/ offline delivery timing is the same No reservation of goods is available Ordered perfume for my wife as early as 2 November 207, with the delivery set for 9 December 207. Needless to say, the order was not delivered. I contacted the shipping company manager to specify the delivery date. Surprisingly enough, the delivery date was 25 December 207, so I chose a self-pickup. That s the mess I was in. Yes, online discounts are great, but are they worth your waiting time?. Got an sms with a selfpickup time and arranged my trip for I live uptown. Later received another sms notifying on the arrival of goods. I was in the store as planned. The manager, however, said he had already broken up my order and I cannot get it, although I saw the goods on the desk. My trip was all in vain. Online reservation of goods (order generation using stock at the store) is unavailable. Different order processing techniques. Lack of dedicated click and collect counters. Store employees are not trained and have no motivation to early assemble orders made online. Origination of overstock from buyers refusing to pick up their orders (particularly if there is a difference between online and offline product mix). Prices both offline and online are the same or a reason for price differences by sales s is provided 55% 45% Universal pricing logics No price negotiation by sales s...prices in offline stores and online may differ. And I have no idea why. Most goods have the same price, however prices for some may differ. At the moment, prices vary significantly. Online prices are nothing but a siren s call to visit a store. And everything is so expensive there. Lack of walk-through logic and a uniform approach to pricing by s, no single pricing model that helps optimize the totals. Use of different pricing mechanisms. Inconsistent online and offline promotion. Use of information 6 Order/purchase history by all s is stored, loyalty card purchases are tracked 59% 7% % Order/purchase history by all s is stored Only online order history is stored No order/purchase history is stored Your online account does not show any prior order history, none at all, as if it were your first order. The order tracking procedure is not clear either as the system requests your Customer and Reference Nos.. Customer data is managed by various divisions who use different systems (individual systems for online accounts and loyalty card management). Sales are not linked to customer personal data stored in the systems. Lack of processes to manage customer experience. 208 KPMG. All rights reserved. 208 KPMG. All rights reserved.
