It is no secret that customers have thousands of options to pick from and losing them to a different brand’s carefully crafted marketing strategies is quite commonplace. Automation in processes of merchandise planning, buying, and distribution can help close the gap between customer initiation and conversion into sales. This also offers companies the opportunity to study the data collected from their platforms and utilize it to create a better customer service experience. Here are some areas of automation that are revolutionizing the ecommerce industry:

This data can provide useful information about customer preferences, their dislikes and engagement. More and more people opt in for receiving notifications from their favorite brands because it gives them a sense of being treated like royalty. Using simple algorithms businesses can ensure that their customers receive notifications about products that will interest and engage them.

 

3. Automated product facing and placing

4. Employee performance tracking

These workflows can be extended into employee management systems to track performance, align incentives and plan trainings. Such software systems can also help maintain transparency so employees do not feel that anyone is receiving unfair treatment. Software can also be developed to perform tedious tasks to so that employees are not overworked and their time can be focused on handling more important activities such as wooing customers, developing strategy and helping the brand grow.

Festival sales can offer brands the opportunity to circulate old inventory at discounts while still creating room for fresh purchases by piquing the customers interest using ads and in app suggestions.

 

6. Customer Engagement

Delivery and payment mechanisms should be simple and replete with options for any kind of customer.
