Omnichannel Reality, Not Theory - How OneView Connects Online and In Store for Real Results
Everyone in retail talks about omnichannel. Very few execute it. Most conversations stay high level. Retailers, however, live in the details. They care about what actually works.
They care about
- online carts converting in store
- store quotes converting online
- real time inventory that does not break
- shopper continuity across every touchpoint
This is where the theory ends and the work begins.
The Furniture Journey Is Not Instant
Furniture is not an impulse buy. It is a journey.
Yes, a sofa can fall victim to a dog chewing disaster or the now infamous red wine incident. But most of the time, the decision takes weeks, sometimes months. Shoppers browse, compare, visit stores, save items, come back, measure their rooms, ask family opinions, then browse more. The journey crosses channels more than any retailer realizes.
A shopper may -
- begin online and finish in store
- start in store and complete the transaction online
- build a quote in store and return home to buy
- add to cart online and want to buy in store
The list goes on. The pattern does not matter. The continuity does.
The Only Thing That Matters
Wherever the shopper decides to take the next step, that step must be possible.
- Effortless.
- Recognized.
- Connected.
If the experience breaks at the channel handoff, the sale is at risk. If the retailer cannot see what happened online earlier, the trust breaks. If the system forces the shopper to start over, the journey resets.
This is the core challenge of true omnichannel. Not the vision. The execution.
