e-Commerce

While digital transformation is enabling new consumer experiences, e-commerce is no longer a topic just for classic retailers. ELCA supports companies to build the right digital commerce platform.

Digital transformation brings more freedom to consumers and increases the challenges of creating effective customer touch points for e-commerce. It also enforces the businesses to act smart, fast and agile to fulfill market needs.  

Digital transformation provides many opportunities to gain stronger customer insights by putting high importance to end to end visibility in the e-commerce transaction phases, from information until after-sales.

 

Many factors play an important role having an effective e-commerce system in place:

 

  • Business continuity: Delivering goods and providing high quality of service during difficult situations when physical points of sales are closed.
  • Alignment of business with IT strategy: How can IT leverage business needs and enable new business opportunities.
  • Cross functional data consolidation/MDM: Integrate your business application optimally and close the gap with the right products. Perform targeted marketing campaigns and offer the right discounts.
  • Right product and integration setup (ERP-CRM-PIM): Integrate your business application optimally and close the gap with the right products. Perform targeted marketing campaigns and offer the right discounts.
  • Omnichannel/customer touch point strategy: Find out how you can reach your customers on appropriate channels.
