first learn about omnichannel retail.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Omnichannel retail is the natural evolution of businesses in the retail sector. In omnichannel retail, the business interacts with the customer through every touchpoint of the buying process, both online and offline.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hence the term, omnichannel, or multichannel retail.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Omnichannel analytics<\/strong> is therefore a process of collecting and analyzing the data drawn from the various sources in the omnichannel funnel to generate actionable business insights.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Omnichannel analytics empowers the retailer to accurately track the customer through their journey from their starting point to the after-sales interaction.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Processing offline and online data generated by their stores enables retailers to accurately highlight the pain points of the customer.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Broadly put, there are three reasons why a retailer should consider adopting omnichannel analytics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Enhancing intra-store inter-department communication<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Comprehensive map of the customer journey<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Design tailored customer experiences&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Ways_Omnichannel_Analytics_Help_Retailers\"><\/span><strong>Ways Omnichannel Analytics Help Retailers<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Research by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thinkwithgoogle.com\/intl\/en-emea\/consumer-insights\/consumer-journey\/study-reveals-complexity-modern-consumer-paths-purchase-and-how-brands-can-make-inroads\/\">Google\u2019s CEE and IPSOS<\/a> threw up some interesting highlights. They surveyed over 4,200 consumers using four different types of products, laptops, TVs, mobile contracts, and clothes.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Key learnings from the research&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>80% of consumers research before purchasing a product&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The average number of touchpoints for all four products was 2.8&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Most customers search for product reviews, compare prices, etc before purchasing&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>50% of consumers researched product reviews online while at the store&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Better_Customer_Engagement\"><\/span><strong>Better Customer Engagement<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Leveraging the insights derived from omnichannel analytics enables retailers to comprehensively understand their target customers.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Retailers can use this data to tailor their products to meet the requirements of their customers. Furthermore, omnichannel analytics help retailers personalize their customer experience.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, the retailer can integrate results derived from omnichannel analytics to build targeted recommendations and identify the most effective channel to promote their product.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Inventory_Prediction\"><\/span><strong>Inventory Prediction&nbsp;<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Stocking the correct location with the exact product is what sets retailers apart. Omnichannel analytics enables retailers to accurately predict the exact products to stock by monitoring the interest shown by customers on their website or application.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This allows the retailer to stock the exact number of products without over-purchasing and registering a loss.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Leveraging omnichannel analytics to only place orders that will sell, the retailer can reduce losses stemming from storage, shipping, handling, etc.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An added advantage for retailers who leverage results from omnichannel analytics is that there would not be a requirement to sell the excess inventory at a discount, thus incurring a loss.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Effect_of_Omnichannel_Analytics_on_Marketing\"><\/span><strong>Effect of Omnichannel Analytics on Marketing<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The impact of omnichannel analytics on the marketing of retailers cannot be understated.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This report by Deloitte, states that <a href=\"https:\/\/www2.deloitte.com\/us\/en\/insights\/industry\/retail-distribution\/digital-divide-changing-consumer-behavior.html?id=us:2el:3lk:4di_gl:5eng:6di&amp;range=0\/1\/19\/3\/1\/3\/39\/25\/0:0,0\/1\/19\/3\/1\/3\/39\/25\/0:8\">56% of every single dollar<\/a> spent on marketing is influenced by omnichannel avenues.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This statistic is undeniable proof of the ability of omnichannel marketing to influence the success of a product or service. Furthermore, data derived from the online activities of the target audience can help create targeted marketing campaigns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Moreover, leveraging omnichannel analytics in a retail business helps the retailer identify the channels yielding the highest return on investment. Thus, ensuring that the retailer invests in solutions that give the best return on investment.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Omnichannel_Analytics_Facilitates_Collaboration\"><\/span><strong>How Omnichannel Analytics Facilitates Collaboration<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In omnichannel analytics, data from various sales channels are combined to develop a comprehensive picture of the customer.
