Overview

Frictionless commerce and seamless retail experiences are very important to creating a successful customer journey. Satish’s and Sai’s prior backgrounds and work experiences have helped them in their current positions at Teamwork Commerce to support clients accelerating seamless omnichannel retail, developing the product in our pipeline, understanding the clients’ needs and challenges and effectively help them transition from a different POS and/or OMS platform. Their insider intelligence has helped them to be a bridge between the development team and the customer.

 Satish and Sai feel that the growth and success of Teamwork Commerce in the US market will be mirrored in the Australia market, European, Latin America, among others. In-store and online shopping is very popular there, especially on holidays such as Black Friday and Boxing Day. Teamwork has a strong product and offers several value proposition features that are new to Australian retailers and from which they can benefit: mobile POS, cloud services, inventory management and offline transactions. Trends in Australia include digital commerce, omnichannel experiences, customer-centric and various “buy now pay later” payment methods such as Afterpay and Zip Pay, especially with young people.

Overview

Retail has changed a lot as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic as well as customer experiences in digital technology. 71% of retailers agree that digital transformation and omnichannel strategies will be essential to compete with 41% of retailers noting that they are heavily competitive in retail experiences.

One of the main challenges for retailers is “foot traffic”, finding new ways to get sales in the physical stores or online. One of Teamwork Commerce’s omnichannel strategy that has been implemented by a lot of our retailers is BOPIS (Buy Online Pickup In Store); this shopping experience helps retailers get customers inside the store. Another Teamwork integration that supports retailers is making a retailer’s store inventory available to the website. Similarly, Teamwork integrations support “Endless Aisle”, allowing stores to view warehouse inventories and ship from a warehouse. Additional Teamwork integrations designed to increase foot traffic either in the physical store or online include digital strategies such as email marketing with integrations as Klaviyo and Endear. By using multiple channels like emailing or texting consumers directly, retailers can prompt an immediate call to action response from their customers, thus increasing sales.
