Direct to Consumer Enablement for Retail Success

Written by Joe Gabro | Wed, Jul, 13 2016 @ 2:00 PM

Direct-to-consumer (DTC) selling is not a new concept. Lured by the promise of bigger sales and better access to consumers — and driven by ultimate survival — wholesale brands are increasingly looking to circumvent traditional retailers to reach their customers directly.

Today’s retail and manufacturing environments are creating a new paradigm, driven in large part by more technologically savvy consumers. Adding a DTC element will have far-ranging implications for every aspect of a company's operations, from product development to customer experience. As a result, retailers need to grow their omni-channel strategies and ensure their supply chains have the capability to manage costly, resource-heavy returns processing.

This white paper reviews the increased shift in Direct-to-Consumer selling, identifying the importance of building a closer relationship with your customers. Key topics include:

  • Collecting data on consumers before point-of-sale
  • Critical components required to ensure a successful DTC and omni-channel strategy with end-to-end supply chain visibility 
  • Integrating operations and processes to better understand the impact of decisions throughout the organization
