An omni-channel solution is a progression from the old multi-channel model, offering a single solution covering all retail trading operations – web, in-store, mobile and mail order, without compromising the features and functionality of individual specialist applications. The Swan solution provides the retailer with a single point of responsibility to resolve any issues such as data lost, updates and communications between various sales channels.
A true omni-channel solution overcomes the big challenges for retailers, including the disconnect between their trading platforms, repetitive administration tasks, cross-channel reporting and having a single view of their customers.
The Swan solution provides a single point of data administration across all sales channels, which is designed to reduce the time and cost spent managing your business, providing better control, reducing errors, increasing efficiency and growing your profit. Each trading channel can be managed separately from the one central database, enabling pricing by channels, cross-channel promotions, targeted customer incentives, loyalty, vouchers and gift cards.
