The pandemic has been around for more than a year now and dealing with it, has been a huge challenge for the retail industry, with each passing day. Back in 2020, many businesses were bright-eyed and ready for new opportunities. Retailers never imagined that by late March their doors would be forced closed and, in some cases, never reopen. But many of the retail players quickly rose to address the challenges - necessary to adapt and continue to serve their customers. One thing resonated throughout the year – resilience.
To understand the challenges and new roadmaps and constraints related to transformed e-commerce and Omnichannel retail, the fourth session of ‘Omnicomm Intelligence Series’, powered by OMUNI, discussed the necessary changes and themes basis a roundtable session.
This episode of the ‘Omnicomm Intelligence Series’, saw retail leaders sharing the lessons they have learned, how they have grown, and prevailed to enhance the retail customer experience embracing process and technology improvements in the last one year. The session titled, ‘Surviving The Pandemic- Lessons Learned In Online Retail,’ was moderated by Mukul Bafana, CEO & Co-founder, OMUNI.
